I think the legs will be good because, as an R rated film, it doesn't really have a lot of competition till Alien Romulus. The closest is maybe Twisters, which releases before it, and Borderlands which is...looking like they're banking on name recognition to pull up a movie they have zero confidence in.
Okay there are actual contrarians saying "oh man Origins looked better" and...god no. At no point in this trailer do Logan's claws look like they're something out of Roger Rabbit.

The movies that directly involved the multiverse as part of the main plot*:
Endgame
No Way Home
Multiverse of Madness
Quantumania
Shows:
Loki
What If
* I didn't count Far From Home since it isnt actually the Multiverse, The Marvels since it's only at the very very end. Also excluded stuff that has it in miniscule/irrelevant ways (like how Ta Lo in Shang-Chi is technically another dimension, X-Men 97 which is in another universe etc)
Box office wise it didn't hurt Strange at all.
Like guys I think were just well past the idea of the multiverse hurting the movie two extremely well received trailers in
I mean the "is Wolverine a variant" thing is kind of moot because even in the actual X-Men films alone there are three what'd now be considered variants of Wolverine. All three of the actual Wolverine movies technically aren't in continuity with each other.
