The R-rated fictional antihero Deadpool has taken the North American box office by storm with a jaw-dropping revenue of $135 million over the holiday weekend, leaving behind its rivals in the dust, according to comScore estimates last Sunday.
The foul-mouthed superhero portrayed by Ryan Reynolds overwhelmed last year’s February record holder, erotic romance film Fifty Shades of Grey, which earned $85.2 million. It was also named the largest R-rated opening, outperforming The Matrix Reloaded, which generated $91.8 million during its opening in May 2003.
