The weekend sees the opening of Triple 9, Gods of Egypt and Eddie the Eagle, but if Thursdays number are an indication those films don’t pose much of a threat to Deadpool‘s dominance.
Thursday’s take puts Deadpool‘s domestic box office total at $251.1 million.
Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
Deadpool is directed by Tim Miller, with a screenplay by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, and stars Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T. J. Miller, Gina Carano, Brianna Hildebrand, Stefan Kapiฤiฤ, and Leslie Uggams.
Deadpool is playing in theaters now.
