$56M weekend puts 'X-Men' first in class. 20th gets good grades for reboot of franchise
Twentieth Century Fox hit its mark -- if not slightly above -- this weekend with ''X-Men: First Class'' bowing to an estimated $56 million from 3,641 domestic playdates.
The Marvel pic handily won the Stateside box office, beating soph sesh players ''The Hangover Part II'' and ''Kung Fu Panda 2,'' though ''First Class'' still came in a little under what most industryites had projected though the weekend at $60 million.
Still, the film did better than the franchise's first ''X-Men'' installment, which bowed in 2000 at $54.5 million.
Coming in at No. 2 for the weekend, Warner Bros.' ''Hangover II'' dropped a considerable 62% for an estimated $32.4 million; that's comparing the film to its three-day bow last weekend at $85.9 million. Pic so far has grossed a whopping $186.9 million domestically.
Meanwhile, ''Panda 2,'' from Paramount and DreamWorks Animation, not surprisingly held better in its first post-Memorial Day frame, down 49%, with an estimated $24.3 million. The toon, however, dropped considerably more than ''How to Train Your Dragon'' and ''Shrek Forever After,'' both of which fell between 37%-39% in their comparable weekends. ''Panda 2'' crossed the $100 million mark in Stateside grosses through Sunday.
At the specialty B.O., Focus Features' ''Beginners'' tallied a strong per-screen average of $27,038 from five locations in New York and L.A., which puts the film on track to hit (or even exceed) the eventual mark Focus has set for the film. Overall, ''Beginners'' collected an estimated $135,193 this weekend.
Also bowing this weekend, the Weinstein Co.'s Brit coming-of-age drama ''Submarine'' averaged $10,189 from four locations for an estimated weekend total of $40,754.

Fox may even be inflating those estimates a bit. Have legs, plz.
