Wolverine might have opened with $100 million or more

Fox is now saying that the pirated workprint of Wolverine has been downloaded over 4 million times. Hollywood Reporter does the math on that and arrives at an estimate of potentially 28.7 million dollars in lost revenue. Add that to the 85 million dollar actual opening and you're looking at what could have been a 113 million dollar tally.

So we're getting more of this:
"Well-acted, with spectacular action and witty one-liners. The special effects are top-notch."
- Claudia Puig USA TODAY review

But now some of this:
"A keen disappointment as action and effects take over from a poorly conceived story."
- Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter

No clear-cut general consensus seems to be developing at this stage. Let's see how it goes. There are a lot of major critics we still have to hear from. Wonder what Ebert will think of it.

"X-Men Prequel is Kickass Kickoff to Blockbuster Season"
- Lou Lumenick NY POST review

We've seen some great reviews of 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine', but the aggregate rating at Rotten Tomatoes has cooled somewhat for the time being. It's still above average, but down from it's initial '100% fresh' rating. What we're seeing right now is preliminary - most of the major critics have yet to weigh in.
