Deadpool 3 has created a new record by being the first R-rated movie to have such an outstanding opening weekend in the US. It shows that with the right people and the right script, people will return to the theatres, and there is no such thing as superhero/comic book movie fatigue. It is the ninth film in history to open over $200 million. There are still many more records to break and make for this Marvel flick.
According to Luiz Fernando’s report, Deadpool & Wolverine grossed an outstanding $205 million on its debut weekend in the North American box office. It will soon surpass Deadpool 1’s $363.7 million and Deadpool 2’s $324.6 million domestic runs. It will be the highest-grossing R-rated comic book movie ever. For the uninitiated, 2004’s The Passion of the Christ is the highest-grossing R-rated movie with $370.8 million, and it looks like Deadpool 3 will also achieve that title very soon.
According to the report, Deadpool & Wolverine is the eighth movie to have the highest debut weekend of all time in North America. However, in the MCU, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds’ film is the fifth with the biggest opening weekend. It has beaten Avengers: Age of Ultron and Black Panther 1 and 2 to achieve that feat.
