Wanted has boffo box office weekend


Wanted did huge business at the box office in America.

The movie made $51.1 million and

- Wanted was the biggest opening of a live action film in Jolie's career
- It turned out to be the best June opening ever for an R-rated movie, beating Knocked Up's $30.6M, and the 6th highest R-rated opening of all time
- The studio expected only a $35+M opening, so the film did much better than anticipated
- Angie proved she is a big draw: Cinemascore said the main reasons given for choosing to see Wanted were the action (67%) and Jolie (61%).

I haven't seen it yet as I was at a family reunion this weekend. Tomorrow I have a date with James!!
