We posted on Saturday about the X-Men’s strong start in the weekend box office, and it surpassed expectations by pulling in over $100 million over three days, and over $120 million over the four day Memorial Day long weekend. It managed to break the previous Memorial Day all time opening of The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and had the second biggest single day behind Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. Who would have thought?

Meanwhile, The Da Vinci Code dropped into second place, pulling in a paltry (!) $43 million…

The weekend estimates:

1) X-Men: The Last Stand – 20th Century Fox – $120,125,000
2) The Da Vinci Code – Sony Pictures – $43,000,000
3) Over the Hedge – Paramount Pictures, United International Pictures – $35,342,000
4) Mission: Impossible III – Paramount Pictures – $8,567,000
5) Poseidon – Warner Bros. Pictures Distribution – $7,000,000
