‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Crossing $600 Million Domestically, Leads Box Office Over Dreary Labor Day Weekend


"Deadpool & Wolverine" crossed a major box office milestone as it topped a desolate Labor Day weekend.

“A rather slow Labor Day weekend marks a quiet end to what turned out to be the comeback kid of summer seasons,” says senior Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian. Although several movies opened nationwide — the Dennis Quaid-led biopic “Reagan,” Sony and Blumhouse’s AI horror fable “Afraid,” Lionsgate’s R-rated crime thriller “1992″ and Roadside’s human trafficking drama “City of Dreams” among them — only one of those newcomers managed to crack the top five. The film, written and directed by Mohit Ramchandani, tells the story of a young Mexican farmer who travels to L.A. with the promise of training at a soccer camp, only to realize he’s been sold to a sweatshop.
