The highly anticipated comic book adventure “Deadpool & Wolverine” has stormed the box office, raking in a staggering $205 million during its opening weekend. This puts the superhero sequel in eighth place as one of the best debuts in Hollywood history, ahead of “Black Panther” and just behind “Jurassic World” and “The Avengers.” With this achievement, “Deadpool & Wolverine” now joins an elite group of only nine films to have crossed the $200 million milestone in their opening weekends.
Unsurprisingly, the record-breaking ticket sales easily surpassed its predecessor, 2016’s “Deadpool,” which held the previous record for the biggest R-rated opening weekend at $132 million. Furthermore, the 2018 sequel, “Deadpool 2,” now stands as the third-biggest R-rated debut with $125 million. Not only did “Deadpool & Wolverine” set the biggest start of the year, overtaking “Inside Out 2,” but it also proved to be the biggest R-rated opening weekend ever.
In “Deadpool & Wolverine,” fans can expect a thrilling cross-multiverse journey, watching Deadpool and Wolverine face off against adversaries such as a bureaucratic wonk from the Time Variance Authority and Charles Xavier’s evil twin, Cassandra Nova. The movie is also set to feature many cameos from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and beyond, promising a post-credit scene that will leave theater-goers beaming with excitement.
