Da Vinci still rules globally, as X Men top US Box Office

Fox's X Men 3 grossed $120m in the US over the 4-day weekend to become the highest grossing Memorial Day weekend film ever, and pushing Da Vinci Code into second place with an estimated $45m over the weekend period. X Men 3: Last Stand, has the fourth highest grossing film opening of all time in the US (for a three day period).

Meanwhile in the rest of the world, where the idea of Christ's descendant being French may be more palatable, Da Vinci Code stayed on top, grossing $92.8m in its second week against X Men's $76.1m according to Screen International.
