It’s finally here. After being delayed by the SAG-AFTRA strike and leaving the box office to suffer through a miserable May, Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine” is here to deliver the biggest opening weekend the film industry has ever seen from an R-rated movie.
How big it will be is still difficult to determine. Projections for the film have stayed firm at a spectacular $170 million for the past couple of weeks. Not only would that break the R-rated opening weekend record held by the first “Deadpool” with $132 million, it also would be the highest opening weekend seen by any film since fellow MCU film “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” opened to $181.3
