Deadpool is now the top at the domestic box office when it comes to X-Men related films. It passed X-Men: The Last Stand this weekend. That film earned $234.3 million.

deadpool posterDeadpool destroyed the competition, as well as a hell of a lot of bad guys, as it debuted to an estimated $135.1 million three day domestic weekend and around $150 to $156 million four day weekend. The film is now the most an R-rated film has debuted as well as a February film. This is also the highest opening for a 20th Century Fox film, the previous being Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The film has the record of largest single day in February, in fact all of its days beat the previous record.

The film also earned $125 million in international markets. The film scored the largest industry opening in Russia with $12.4 million as well as the largest Fox opening in 13 other markets including Australia ($10 million); Taiwan ($8.25 million); Brazil ($5.9 million); Hong Kong ($3.8 million); and Malaysia ($2.9 million).

The international amount and domestic puts the film at about $260 million for its first weekend, pretty impressive with a budget of about $58 million. We’ll see what lessons Hollywood learns from this. Maybe we’ll see more R-rated superhero films, but most likely the wrong lessons will be taken away.

In other debuts, How to Be Single came in third with $18.75 million; Zoolander 2 earned $15.65 million for fourth; Where to Invade Next was 18th with $1.03 million; and a few others were in the tens of thousands.

In other movie news Kung Fu Panda 3 dropped to second and earned $19.65 million to bring its domestic total to $93.9 million. The Revenant came in fifth and earned $6.9 million to have a domestic total of $159.2 million. Hail, Caeser! was in sixth and added $6.59 million to its total. Finally, Star Wars: The Force Awakens dropped out of the top five to come in seventh after nine weeks. The film earned $6.19 million to bring its domestic total to $914.8 million and worldwide gross to $2.03 billion. It sits in third for worldwide frosses of all time.

Kung Fu Panda 3 Stays on Top of the Box Office

Kung Fu Panda 3Kung Fu Panda 3 was the top of the box office for the second weekend in a row beating three new films that opened up. The film earned an estimated $21 million to bring its domestic total to $69.1 million. The film has earned $198.1 million worldwide so far after about two weeks.

Three new films didn’t light up the box office. Hail, Caeser! came in second with an estimated $11.4 million. The film has earned mixed reviews, but there’s a fan base for Coen brothers films so it should get above its budget of $22 million. The Choice debuted in fifth earning an estimated $6.1 million, and just behind that in sixth was Pride and Prejudice and Zombies which earned an estimated $5.2 million.

The Revenant dropped to third place from last weekend’s second. It earned $7.1 million to bring its domestic total to $149.7 million. In fourth was Star Wars: The Force Awakens which earned $6.89 million.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens currently has earned $905.96 million domestically and $1.1 billion in foreign markets. Its total stands at $2.008 billion. The film still sits in third in worldwide grosses and is about $178 million short of passing Titanic to move in to second. It has a long way to go to top Avatar to move in first. It’d need $780 million to get to that spot.

Kung Fu Panda 3 Debuts on Top, Crushing the Competition

Kung Fu Panda 3Kung Fu Panda 3 debuted in first place this weekend earning an estimated $41 million. That’s the largest January opening of all-time. Other debuts this weekend didn’t fair nearly as well. The Finest Hours came in fourth place earning an estimated $10.3 million, Fifty Shades of Black opened in ninth and earned $6.2 million, Jane Got a Gun opened in 17th with $803,000, 2016 Oscar Nominated Short Films earned $505,000 for 21st, and Rabin, the Last Day was 40 with $7,854.

Overall, the box office was up compared to last year with holdover films not dropping much from the previous week. In second place was The Revenant which earned an estimated $12.4 million and in third was Star Wars: The Force Awakens which added $10.78 million to its total. Rounding out the top five was Ride Along 2 which earned an estimated $8.3 million.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens continues to rake in the cash with it crossing the $900 million mark domestically in the next week as well as crossing the $2 billion mark globally in that same time frame. The film is sitting in third in worldwide earnings (not adjusted) and is about $200 million from moving in to second and $800 million from toppling Avatar from the top spot. There’s a good chance it’ll move in to second, but first is quite a march with some tougher competition coming down the road.
