The Wolverine Claws to Top of Weekend Box Office (ESTIMATES)

BOX OFFICE

(20th Century Fox)

The Wolverine has clawed to the top of the box office.

Hugh Jackman’s latest outing as the X-Men mutant should open with an estimated $55 million weekend, good enough for first place over last week’s champ The Conjuring ($24 million) and the blockbuster animated sequel Despicable Me 2 ($16 million).

Another family flick, Turbo, is projected to finish in fourth place with roughly $13 million, just ahead of Adam Sandler’s ensemble laugh-fest Grown Ups 2 ($11.5 million).

Action-comedy Red 2 is tracking toward $8.5 million and the #6 spot.

Pacific Rim ($7.5 million) should inch ahead of The Heat ($7 million) for seventh place, with R.I.P.D. ($6 million) and Fruitvale Station ($4 million) rounding out the Top Ten.
