LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK, July 29: “The Wolverine,” starring Hugh Jackman as Marvel Comics’ sharp- clawed superhero, slashed its way to 55 million dollar in US and Canadian ticket sales to claim the box office crown in a summer that hasn’t been kind to some other big-budget action films. “The Conjuring,” the low-budget horror film that led last weekend’s box office, slipped to second place with 22.1 million dollar in domestic sales from Friday through Sunday, according to studio estimates. The film has generated nearly 84 million dollar in overall ticket sales, a surprisingly strong showing for a film that cost just under 20 million dollar to make. (agencies)
