Marvel Studios and Disney’s Deadpool & Wolverine keeps playing and playing, and grossed an estimated $19.4 million, putting its domestic tally at an estimated $603.8 million through Sunday, the sixth-best showing ever for a superhero movie. The movie stayed No. 1 at the box office in its sixth outing and crossed $600 million domestically, becoming only the 16th film in history to do so, not adjusted for inflation.
Reagan, the only new release of the weekend, starring Dennis Quaid and based on Paul Kengor’s book The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism performed well. After a better-than-expected Sunday, the film beat Twisters and It End With Us for third place. Despite being panned by liberal critics, audiences gave the film an A CinemaScore.
