X-Men: First Class mutants top box office

A prequel and sequels dominated the top four spots at the weekend box office. X-Men: First Class raked in $56 million (all figures U.S.), and though less than estimated, it was reportedly high enough to make studio bosses pleased with the results. Tribute viewers rated it highly, with 4.4 out of 5 stars. Last weekend’s top movie, The Hangover Part II, (3.3 stars) dropped a spot to second place with an additional $32.4 million. The animated sequel Kung Fu Panda 2 came in third with $24.3 million, rating 4 stars at Tribute.ca. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides earned an additional $18 million and a 4 star rating from Tribute viewers. Bridesmaids rounding out the top five with $12.1 million and 3.7 stars.
