"Wolverine" won big money this past weekend even with the leak of the film about a month ago. People still wanted to see this movie. Other films are just petering out for the summer blockbusters to cash in for the rest of this month.

Next weekend should probably look the same though "Star Trek" will most likely take the lead and "Next Day Air" will replace some other movie on the board.

Will "Star Trek" make more money than "Wolverine?" Come back next week and we will find out!
