LOGAN tops box office, earning $88.3 million (domestic) on $97 million budget.

The public are coming out in droves to witness Hugh Jackman’s “one last time” time playing Wolverine in James Mangold’s LOGAN finale. The film exceeded original box office predictions of $64 million, by earning $88.3 million from 4,071 domestic theaters.

That makes it the largest R-rated film opening ever in the month of March.

‘Logan’ had a production cost of $97 million.

The film had great business in China, the world’s 2nd largest market for movies. It made $46.2 million after undergoing 14 minutes of editing to meet new film industry laws; it’s the first film to be affected by this.

Its worldwide haul (as of now) stands at an impressive $240.8 million.

Holding strong with a 93% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an A- Cinemascore, this easily marks Hugh Jackman’s most successful tenure as the iconic mutant.

What a way to go out!
