Box Office Results: Deadpool & Wolverine Holds Strong, Trap Surprises By ($395 million) just became the highest-grossing R-rated film domestically, passing Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ ($370.7M), Deadpool ($363M), and Deadpool 2 ($324.6M) after a strong 97M (-54%) sophomore frame.
Worldwide, Shawn Levy’s comic book team-up has amassed a whopping $824.1M and shows no signs of slowing down. At this rate, D&W should easily top $1 billion at the box office and wind up in the MCU’s top 10 highest-grossing pics.
Elsewhere, M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap earned $15.6M on its opening weekend, which is a decent debut for an August thriller but on the lower end of the director’s efforts.
As it stands, only Wide Awake ($95K) and Knock at the Cabin ($14M) opened with less. Remember when Signs debuted with $60M? Yeah, those days seem long ago. Trap likely finishes with Knock at the Cabin-like numbers as a result of a meh C+ CinemaScore.
Sony’s family comedy Harold and the Purple Crayon opened to $6M from 3,325 theaters. The moral of the story? We don’t need big-screen adaptations of every children’s book on the market. D&W should clean up again this weekend, as Eli Roth’s Borderlands is the only wide release on the schedule.
The action comedy is projected to reach between $10M and $20M. Things get juicier a week later when Fede Alvarez unleashes Alien: Romulus, which could earn as much as $43M in its opening frame. Box Office Results: Domestic Top 10 1.
