As expected, James Mangold’s The Wolverine hacked its competition to pieces over the weekend, but the box office numbers were not quite as strong as some had predicted. $55 million is a far cry from the $85 million opening of X-Men Origins: Wolverine back in 2009 (not to mention this year’s other big comic book movies), although it’s almost exactly on par with X-Men: First Class. It feels like the popularity of the X-Men could be waning a bit, although the lack of any other big name actors or characters probably also held this one back. The Conjuring came in second with $22 million (a respectable drop from its debut), while Despicable Me 2, Turbo and Grown Ups 2 rounded out the top 5. Elsewhere, Fruitvale Station managed to sneak into the top 10 with its nationwide expansion, while Woody Allen put up the best per-theatre average of his career with Blue Jasmine.
