It’s not hard to see why the Reynolds is grateful, not only has the film met with positive reviews from critics (check out review here!) and fans but it smashed some world records on it’s opening weekend.
The movie is reported to have taken in $260 million worldwide making around $125 million internationally and a further $135 million in the US. These box office sales make it one of the highest taking R-rated movies in history, surpassing The Matrix Reloaded. Not only that but Deadpool now claims top spot for the 20th Century Fox’s biggest opening, pushing Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith out of the way.
