NEW YORK—After 10 days in theaters, Deadpool & Wolverine is already the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever, not accounting for inflation.
Worldwide, the Shawn Levy-directed Deadpool & Wolverine has quickly amassed $824.1 million in ticket sales, a total that already surpasses the global hauls of the first two Deadpool films. The 2016 original grossed $782.6 million worldwide; the 2018 sequel collected $734.5 million.M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller Trap managed a modest opening of $15.6 million at 3,181 theaters for Warner Bros.
“This is a soft opening for an M. Night Shyamalan suspense crime thriller,” wrote David A. Gross, a film consultant who publishes a newsletter for Franchise Entertainment. “The writer/director’s movies out-earn other original thrillers by a wide margin, and that’s true here, but this start is not on the level of recent Shyamalan films.”
Twisters, the Universal Pictures disaster film, continues to kick up a storm at the box office. It held in second place with $22.7 million in its third weekend. Lee Isaac Chung’s sequel to the 1996 original, starring Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos, has racked up $195.6 million domestically. While it has made less of an impression overseas, Twisters is holding particularly well in North American theaters, down just 35 percent from the week prior.
