Box Office: ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Marvels With $96 Million Opening Day — the Sixth-Highest of All Time (variety.com)

Disney and Marvel Studios‘ “Deadpool & Wolverine” clawed up a massive $96 million from 4,210 locations across Friday and preview screenings. That’s far and away the biggest domestic opening day of the year — ahead of the $62 million that “Inside Out 2” nabbed in June. Not only that, it’s also the largest ever for an R-rated feature and the sixth-highest of all time, not adjusted for inflation.

That’s an epic win for the merc with the mouth and a big bounce back for Marvel Studios, which is coming off of its worst domestic performance ever with “The Marvels” last fall. The records will continue to fall this weekend as the Ryan Reynolds–Hugh Jackman buddy comedy heads toward one of the biggest domestic debuts of all time.

a 'buddy cop' comedy headlining the 2 comedic relief kings of the franchise? hell yeah

BUT this movie isnt big because marvel, its big despite it... hell IN spite of it

its not taking itself seriously at all, and everyone needs a good laugh. i just hope marvel doesnt think this means 'superhero movies are back' blech.

Marvel superhero movies often don't take themselves seriously to a fault.

But it's a perfect fit for Deadpool.

Considering all the jabs in the movie at how poorly marvel has been doing recently got plenty of chuckles from the audience, Marvel definitely needs to realize they still have a lot of work to do if they want to win back favor
