Deadpool & Wolverine shattered records at the box office this weekend.

The sequel raked in $205 million in its opening weekend - the biggest opening of 2024 and the biggest ever for an R-rated movie.

In fact, it was the 8th-largest opening weekend of all time, just behind 2015's Jurassic World and ahead of 2018's Black Panther.

Twisters finished second with $35.3 million, followed by Despicable Me 4 with $14.2 million.

Inside Out 2 ($8.3 million) and Longlegs ($6.7 million) rounded out the top five.
