As many predicted, 'X-Men: First Class' easily took the top spot at the box office this weekend.
Still, the Marvel reboot, which traced the beginnings of the 'X-Men' characters, managed to fall well below expectations, taking in just $56.0 million. To put things in perspective: That's the lowest debut by an 'X-Men' movie since the franchise launched in 2000, with $54.5 million.
In an already jam-packed summer movie season, director Matthew Vaughn hopes to impress audiences with his latest movie, 'X-Men: First Class,' a reboot of the Marvel movie series that takes fans back to the beginning (or in this case, the Cold War-era '60s).
Already, the film has impressed critics; it currently has over a 95 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But will audiences flock to see it in theaters? We'll know in a few days.
In the meantime, check out a list of new movies opening Friday, plus what's still playing in theaters, to help you decide what to see this weekend.

And this will be 'Titanic' as you've never seen it before, digitally re-mastered at 4K and painstakingly converted to 3D. With the emotional power intact and the images more powerful than ever, this will be an epic experience for fans and newcomers alike."
