'X2' Speeds to $155 Million Worldwide Opening
Sunday May 4 3:49 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hollywood's lucrative summer box office season got off to an early start over the weekend as the comic book adventure film "X2: X-Men United" stormed cinemas worldwide in the biggest launch in movie history.

According to studio estimates issued on Sunday, the massively hyped sequel sold $85.9 million worth of tickets in its first three days of release across the United States and Canada. It also earned $69.3 million from 93 countries, taking its total to $155.2 million -- more than half of what the first movie, 2000's "X-Men," made in its entire run.

"X-Men" opened with $54.5 million in North America and went on to earn $157.3 million domestically and $294 million worldwide.

The new film, based on the popular Marvel comic books about a pack of ostracized mutant savants, ranks No. 4 on the list of North American openings. "Spider-Man," also based on a Marvel comic, holds the record with $115 million, followed by "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" with $90.3 million and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" with $88.4 million.

"X2" was released by Twentieth Century Fox, a unit of News Corp.'s Fox Entertainment Group Inc. The studio partnered on the film with Marvel Studios, a unit of Marvel Enterprises Inc.

Fox's three-day estimate was actually lower than that of other studios, some of which placed the opening above $90 million. Final data will be issued on Monday.

'WE ALL ARE MUTANTS'

The film, which cost about $110 million to make, features an ensemble cast including Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Halle Berry (Storm) and Sir Ian McKellen (Magneto). Their mutant characters try to defend a human world that rejects them.

"We all are mutants," said Marvel Studios CEO Avi Arad, one of the film's producers. "And in every place and every situation, there's someone who thinks they're better than us."

Exit polls showed that a surprisingly high 44 percent of the audience for "X2" was female, Fox distribution president Bruce Snyder said. Generally glowing reviews also brought in older audiences, with 52 percent aged over 25, he added.

In North America, the film played in a record 3,741 theaters, beating the old mark of 3,682 for last year's "Harry Potter" sequel.

Summer traditionally begins in Hollywood over the Memorial Day holiday weekend (May 23-26), but in recent years the studios have started releasing their big guns earlier to maximize returns in a crowded marketplace.

For Marvel, "X2" marks the company's sixth consecutive No. 1 release, after "X-Men," the two "Blade" movies, "Spider-Man" and the recently released "Daredevil." The run is likely to extend to seven with the June 20 release of "The Hulk," starring Australian actor Eric Bana as the moody green giant.

'LIZZIE' AND 'BECKHAM' ALSO SCORE

The top 10 contained one other new release, "The Lizzie McGuire Movie," which opened at No. 2 with $17 million. The $25 million Walt Disney Pictures release stars Hilary Duff as a plucky heroine who gets involved in assorted high-jinks on a class trip to Italy.

Duff also plays the title character in the hit Disney Channel cable TV series on which it is based. Predictably, the film's audience was young girls, said Chuck Viane, president of domestic distribution at Walt Disney Co.

One film entered the top 10 for the first time in its eighth week of release. "Bend It Like Beckham," a British romantic comedy about a girl who seeks to play soccer despite her immigrant parents' misgivings, tied at No. 9 with "Bulletproof Monk." Both reported about $1.5 million. Playing in just 484 theaters, "Beckham" has scored $11 million to date. It was released by Fox Searchlight, Fox's art-house arm.

Hell yeah X2 blew Lizzie McLesbian AND all the other movies right out of the water! Wahoo!
