Weekend Box Office: ‘X-Men: First Class’ Underwhelms
As many predicted, 'X-Men: First Class' easily took the top spot at the box office this weekend. Still, the Marvel reboot, which traced the beginnings of the 'X-Men' characters, managed to fall well below expectations, taking in just $56.0 million. To put things in perspective: That's the lowest debut by an 'X-Men' movie since the franchise launched in 2000, with $54.5 million.
