Deadpool & Wolverine opened to a record-shattering $205 million at the domestic box office, landing the eighth biggest opening of all time among any film and by far the biggest launch for an R-rated film, not adjusted for inflation. The first Deadpool was the previous record-holder at $133.7 million.
The movie also shattered records for an R-rated pic on a global scale, opening to $233.3 million internationally from 55 materials markets for a worldwide start of $438.3 million. Premium format screens contributed 18 percent of the gross, led by $36.5 million in Imax ticket sales, a July and R-rated record for the large-format exhibitor.
