Superhero films might have some financial fuel left in the tank as the third Deadpool movie has broken box office records since its release on Friday.
Deadpool & Wolverine, the Walt Disney Company’s first R-rated film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, opened to $205 million in North America, making it both the first R-rated film to open to over $200 million and just the ninth movie to do so. Globally, the film opened to $438.3 million, $36.5 of which was made from IMAX ticket sales, an IMAX record for an R-rated film.
