The box office impact is a huge unknown. While it may end up being marginal, to estimate it with any certainty beforehand, and to do something this calculated for one of the summer's opening blockbusters would seem to be well beyond any of the studios.

I mean the story line isn't a new one to followers of the Comic, and as a fan of CGI it was actually really interesting to see the pre-production aspects (which only occur in a few scenes, like flight scenes and the final epic battle scene... the rest is DVD quality).. However watching this leaked version made me want to see it in theaters EVEN MORE... I CAN'T WAIT to see the Final Print... and with a Brand like Marvel, and one of it's most popular X-Men Wolverine as the main star, THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BE HUGE IN THE BOX OFFICE!!!... I even saw Hugh Jackman on the news mentioning that he was disappointed about the leak because he felt that there were so many people who put hard work into the film, but I think it was all a big PR stunt.
