Mutants Cut Through Spidey’s Web

May 31, 2006 By S. K. Sloan 4 Comments

“X-Men: The Last Stand” has unseated “Spiderman 2” from its box US office pinnacle. The third mutant installment garnered over $120 million this weekend, easily besting Spiderman’s previous weekend premiere record of around $104 million.

Despite this fantastic showing, don’t expect an X-Men 4 flick any time soon. Ratner is opting for specialty flicks for the future of the franchise, highlighting on one or two of the characters per pic to better develop the character and plotlines. The next on tap is “Wolverine” followed by “Magneto.” Talks are currently ongoing about showing off “Angel” in his own venue.

In other news, “The Da Vinci Code” held firm to its box-office place in the Top 10 by adding another $43 million to its international totals.

    The only Angel movie I ever want to see would star David Boreanaz, that would rock.

    ^ Ditto. There’s not enough of X3’s Angel to make into a film anyway.
