Deadpool and Wolverine's Record-Breaking Box Office Debut
Domestic Success
The highly anticipated superhero movie Deadpool and Wolverine, directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, has made a record-breaking debut at the domestic box office. The film is expected to tally between $160 million and $180 million in its opening weekend, making it the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time.
International Triumph
The film's international performance has also been impressive, with projections of $180 million to $190 million in its first weekend of release. This would make Deadpool and Wolverine the biggest international debut for an R-rated movie.
Box Office Balm
Deadpool and Wolverine's success comes as a much-needed boost for Disney's film empire, which has struggled to replicate the box office dominance of its Marvel Cinematic Universe films. The film's impressive performance is seen as a sign that Disney is finally finding its footing in the R-rated market.
R-Rated Blockbuster
Deadpool and Wolverine is the first R-rated movie to gross over $500 million worldwide, proving that audiences are receptive to adult-oriented superhero films. The film's success is expected to pave the way for more R-rated superhero movies in the future.
Twister's Dismal Performance
In contrast to Deadpool and Wolverine's triumph, the disaster movie Twister has underperformed at the box office, grossing only $80.5 million domestically in its opening weekend. The film's disappointing performance is seen as a setback for Warner Bros., which had high hopes for the franchise reboot.
