The X-Men turned into $-men this weekend when Hugh Jackman's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" defied critics' pans and clawed its way to the top of the box office.

The prequel to the mutant superhero trilogy earned an estimated $87 million its opening weekend, studio estimates show. That puts it in the pack with the three previous "X-Men" movies in which Jackman stars as the wolverine.

"It's all systems go," said Chris Aronson, distribution executive for 20th Century Fox.

"Audiences have a huge appetite for Hugh and this character."

Overall revenues were virtually even with the same weekend a year ago, when "Iron Man" surprised Hollywood with a bigger-than-expected $98.6 million debut.

"It's a testament to the kind of year we're having and this recessionary moviegoing fueling big box office," said Hollywood.com box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian
