Hugh Jackman was victorious this weekend as “Real Steel” debuted on top of the box office.

Walt Disney flick “Real Steel,” scored the number 1 position for the weekend. Estimates indicated the Jackman film earned $27.3 million in revenue. $3.2 million from its total is from IMAX receipts.

The PG-13 film about a boxing trainer operating a robot to fight was heavily marketed to males in the weeks leading up to its release.

The ad push was successful because, 60 percent of moviegoers going to see “Real Steel” were males, and over 70 percent were under the age of 35.

The high earnings of the film will be essential for Disney since ‘Real Steel” has a budget of just under $110 million.

Coming in distant second for the weekend was the Academy Award favorite “Ides of March.” The film took in an estimated $10.4 million.
