It will be interesting to see if "The Wolverine," can capitalize off the good press of First Class for a high box office. Normally this sequel would be assured to make less at the box office because of the critical / fan reception of the original, but I'm really not sure how much the average movie audiences compartmentalizes Wolverine and the X-Men franchise. The next X-Men movie is in for a sizable boon at the box office thanks to first class... I'm just not sure whether Johny Averageman will consider The Wolverine an X-Men movie.
