‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Overtakes ‘Joker’ as Highest-Grossing R-Rated Film in History With $1.08 Billion Globally
"Deadpool & Wolverine" is the highest-grossing R-rated film in history.
Marvel’s save-the-universe adventure landed in theaters on July 26, collecting a mighty $211 million in its domestic debut to rank as the sixth-biggest opening weekend of all time. “Deadpool & Wolverine,” starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as their antihero alter egos, is notable because the film ushers the comic book characters that were previously licensed to 20th Century Fox into Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ticket sales have been stratospheric because Reynolds and director Shawn Levy brought Jackman’s gruff mutant Logan out of retirement and assembled a who’s who of Fox-era heroes, including Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Chris Evans as Human Torch from “Fantastic Four,” Wesley Snipes as Blade, to accompany Deadpool and Wolverine on a timeline-salvaging mission.
