The sci-fi action flick featuring Jackman’s return as the clawed Marvel superhero sold some 633,000 tickets at local theaters nationwide from Friday to Sunday, according to box office statistics gathered by the Korean Film Council.

The latest “X-Men” film opened here on March 1 and had sold a total of more than 1 million tickets as of Sunday.

Coming in second over the weekend at the box office was Korean thriller “Bluebeard,” starring Cho Jin-woong, with 433,191 tickets sold.
