According to Variety, Deadpool & Wolverine has already outpaced the $202 million opening weekend of Black Panther (2018), although it falls short of Jurassic World‘s $208 million debut from 2015.
The source further emphasizes that the increasing popularity of the characters, along with the strong on-screen chemistry between Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), who co-wrote the film, along with Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), likely boosted its record-setting performance.
