BOX OFFICE: DEADPOOL Continues To Break Records As It Sails Past $300 Million Worldwide

As expected, Deadpool shattered records in North America this weekend with an incredible haul of over $150 million for the four day weekend. That means the Merc with the Mouth has topped the previous record (held by Fifty Shades of Grey with $93 million last year) and now has one of the highest all-time debuts for a superhero movie.

Among its other accolades are being the biggest R-Rated opener of all-time (easily beating $91.7 million taken by The Matrix Reloaded some time ago) and the highest debut ever for the month of February. With a budget of only $58 million, Deadpool is officially a hit.

It's overseas where things are getting interesting though. Deadpool is set to pass the $300 million mark today and it's thought that it will go as high as $475 million by the end of next weekend. That means this movie is on track to easily surpass Ant-Man, and we could be looking at it having a final cume as large as any of the much bigger Marvel Studios releases.

A sequel has already been semi-confirmed, but you can bet your life Fox are already talking about that long delayed X-Force movie now...

Deserves every cent

Can you imagine the haul if they'd made an accurate and good quality X-Film? I can't even think on how successful that would be (of course, they'd have to take a few years hiatus to erase from our minds the crap they've given us so far).
I haven't seen this movie, but by all accounts it sounds awesome. We'll go check it out this week for sure.

@Pathogen - If I were the President of Fox, I would going and punching Bryan Singer in the mouth, firing him and hiring Deadpool's team to take over the X-Universe.
