1) Prisoners- 21.4M Weekend, 21.4M Total The well reviewed Hugh Jackman pic beat expectations and was crowned the champion (by a long shot).

1) Insidious Chapter 2- 20.0M Weekend, 20.0M Total The original opened to 13M, and eventually grossed 54M domestically.

1) The Wolverine- 65M Weekend, 65M Total With almost no competition, the only thing The Wolverine has to battle is the fact that the first film didn’t have exceptional reviews. This film, however, is currently rocking a 71% on Rotten … Continue reading Box Office Predictions: The Wolverine is definitely #1
