It fell a scant 53 percent, a notable feat.
It achieved several key milestones. Marking another major feather-in-the-mask for star and franchise mastermind Ryan Reynolds, he Deadpool threequel supplanted Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ($371.1 million) as the top-grossing R-rated movie of all time domestically, not adjusted for inflation.
It also has passed up the entire lifetime runs of the first two Deadpool films, both domestically and globally, after just two weekends in theaters. Deadpool‘s domestic earnings were $363.1 million for a global total of $782.6 worldwide; the second film’s domestic haul was $318.5 million for a worldwide total of $734.5 million.
