X-Men launched last night with 8.1M from shows starting on or after 10PM. That’s huge. That’s essentially a bigger number than Godzilla’s 9.3M, because Godzilla started at 7PM, allowing for more showtimes, and expanding its reach to people who go to bed early. In perspective, X-Men trounced fellow 10PM launcher Fast and Furious 6, which opened to 6.5M last year (also starting at 10PM).
X-Men is most certainly on a path to break 100M before Memorial Day arrives.
