Box Office: the Merc with the Money
'Deadpool & Wolverine' Obliterates R-Rated Record With $205 Million Opening Weekend, Eighth-Biggest in Box Office History https://t.co/GbXDYGTuBJ

Welcome back to ONTD, the front page of the internet for lurkers. It's the return of Deadpool, now under the Disney/Marvel banner. How did it do?
Of course, Deadpool and Wolverine are number one with 205m$ , becoming the highest opening rated R movie. And with it, the MCU is the first franchise to cross 30$ Billion at the global box office.
Twisters is still here in second place with $35.3 after a much larger than expected opening last week. DM 4 has 14m$, Inside Out 2 is 4th with 8.3m, Longlegs made $6.7m, and is now NEON's highest grossing movie ever in the states.
ICYMI:
- Marvel had their SDCC Panel Saturday. Check out a recap...probably a few posts down (oh there isn't. Well. Stuff happened.)
- You can watch Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes on Hulu Aug. 2nd.
- The Venice Lineup has been released.
- GKIDS will release a limited engagement of Sirocco and The Kingdom of The Winds in the US on the 11th and ... another date. I think 12th - of August.
