Marvel Studios and Disney’s Deadpool & Wolverine — in addition to crossing the $1 billion mark at the global box office on Saturday — stayed atop the North American chart with $54.2 million in its third weekend. The blockbuster, which has obliterated one record after another, finished Sunday with an estimated domestic tally of $494.3 million and $535.2 million overseas for a worldwide haul of $1.029 billion.
On the other end of the spectrum Lionsgate’s big-budget Borderlands bit the dust in opening to $8.8 million, despite a star-studded cast including Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Black, Ariana Greenblatt and Florian Munbteanu. The video game adaptation — which cost north of $110 million to produce — was roundly panned by critics; audiences felt the same in slapping with a D+ cinemascore.
