11 Huge Movies That Logan Destroyed At The Box Office
Wolverine slays Tony Stark, Christian Grey and...WALL-E?
Over the last month, amid a considerable sea of competition, Logan has pulled in a mammoth $585+ million at the worldwide box office, again re-affirming that audiences will put their money where their mouth is and shell out for mature, big-budget, R-rated comic book movies.
Logan's box office dominance has allowed it soar past a high number of acclaimed and enormously successful films in their own rights, from other comic book hits, to entire franchises you probably assumed would easily outgross it, a ton of beloved animated movies, and even some bafflingly popular "romantic" slop audiences nevertheless ate up.
Logan beat them all, which will hopefully contribute to the superhero sphere getting more quality R-rated movies greenlit in the future, though it's probably more likely that movie studios will miss the point and just send us Suicide Squad 2 with swearing, gore and boobs...
11. All These Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies
Box Office: The Incredible Hulk ($263.4 million), Captain America: The First Avenger ($370.6 million), Thor ($449.3 million), Ant-Man ($519.3 million), and Iron Man ($585.1 million).
The MCU may be an absolute commercial juggernaut, but Logan has managed to claw its way above five of the franchise's movies to date, albeit largely its earlier and more niche entries.
Most impressively, however, Logan managed to somehow scrape past 2008's Iron Man, the ridiculously successful movie that started all this cinematic universe business in the first place.
To do that, with an R-rating no less, is no mean feat, and Fox are probably not-so-secretly mad that Hugh Jackman's finally done with the X-Men series.
