Abstract

Walt Disney Co.'s film "Deadpool & Wolverine" had the biggest domestic opening of the year, earning $211.4 million in ticket sales in the US and Canada. It also set a record for the best-ever opening for an R-rated movie, surpassing Warner Bros.' "Joker." The film is the third installment in the Deadpool series and features Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman reprising their roles. The success of "Deadpool & Wolverine" is seen as a boost for Disney's film division, which has not turned a profit since April 2022. [Extracted from the article]
