For the first time since its release on July 26, Deadpool & Wolverine did not finish at No. 1 at the box office last weekend. Instead, it fell to No. 2 with $29 million, which brings its domestic take to $545.8 million. When combined with its worldwide grosses, Deadpool & Wolverine has now claimed the record for an R-rated film with $1.08 billion.
