Real Steel delivered an early knockout at the box office this weekend, easily besting all comers, including the powerful duo of George Clooney and Ryan Gosling.
The Hugh Jackman-anchored, robot-based action flick earned over $27 million on Friday and Saturday, backed by strong reviews, including our very own. It helped that Jackman made every talk show circuit and, well, it Hugh Jackman. Seriously, that guy rules.
