This weekend, people around the world gathered together for Wolverine’s last adventure as Fox’s comic book character Logan opened to top results at number one in North America and across the globe to the tune of $237.9M. The domestic debut weekend pulled in an estimated $85.3M from 4,071 locations for a total of $20,953 average. It was the fifth largest opening weekend of all-time for an R-rated film and the fourth best ever for any film launching in March.

Critics and audiences both loved the violent film as reviews over the past two weeks were great helping to boost buzz, and ticket buyers polled by CinemaScore gave a nice A-. Overseas openings were great as 81 markets delivered a weekend take of $152.6M led by China’s $46.3M. America’s R-rated films often are not allowed into that market but Logan made the cut and is reaping the rewards. The debut there was 33% bigger than X-Men: Days of Future Past. Japan is the only major market not to open this weekend and the global final could find its way North of $600M.
