Deadpool beating all expectations

Deadpool. the R-rated superhero film grossed a record-breaking $135 million over the three-day Valentine’s Day/Presidents Day weekend, making it one of the most successful superhero opening weekends in history. The film was 10 years in the making as it wasn’t easy for Ryan Reynolds to convince Fox to make the X-Men spinoff. However, he got to do it his way and with all of the marketing and promoting, it certainly paid off as fans have flocked to the theatre to see it.
