NEW YORK (AP) — “Deadpool & Wolverine” has been in theaters for ten days, and after adjusting for inflation, it has already become the highest-grossing R-rated film ever.
The Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman-starring Marvel Studios film continued to roar through theaters in its second weekend, grossing $97 million, according to studio projections on Sunday. It surpassed the long-reigning highest R-rated film, “The Passion of the Christ,” which held the title for 20 years with $370 million domestically, with a two-week total of $395.6 million.
The $824.1 million in ticket sales for the Shawn Levy-directed “Deadpool & Wolverine” have now surpassed the totals for the first two “Deadpool” movies worldwide. T
