From Superhero Hype: Final figures show that X2 earned a massive $33,896,000 from 3,741 theaters on opening day!
The figure marks the second biggest opening day of all time, beating "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone's" $32.3 million and trailing only Spider-Man, which took an incredible $39.4 million its first day.


What people also have to remember – is this is a sequel as well, so the box office is incredible!

It gives me great pleasure to think right now there are people at Universal who are as sick as dogs! Losers!

See here is a hit while G-2003 will be a flop. DeSanto knows what he is doing as well as Singer. They are businessmen not fools like sci-fi channel. Hugh Jackman is great as Wolverine. I saw the first film and was impressed by the performance. Some said that he was too tall for the role. He wasn't the first choice however but a replacement for Dougray Scott who was busy filming MI-2.

May this lead to bigger & better things for Bryan & Tom. May they be able to name the projects of their choice.

And may it be all over the front page of Variety on Monday with how well this thing opened. :)

Just think of it, those fools are also remaking The A-Team. Like Mr T/BA Baraccas would say, "I pity the fool."
