Those numbers place Deadpool in the list of ten highest comic book movie openings of all-time, and is the biggest debut ever for an R-Rated release. To put these numbers into context for you, Deadpool has actually beaten the likes of Guardians of the Galaxy ($94.3 million) and Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($95 million), an incredible feat.

The movie’s success is particularly good news for Ryan Reynolds; he’s had some pretty bad luck in recent years thanks to the critical and commercial failure of Green Lantern and R.I.P.D., and after fighting to get the movie made, this is a massive win for the actor.
