In an Instagram post, Hugh Jackman (55) lies on a bed in his Wolverine costume and gazes transfigured at a picture frame. Another photo reveals the picture with the caption: "#1 Movie In The World". "Thank you ALL!" he wrote to his followers.

It's kind of hard to process, jokes Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds (47) in an Instagram story about the box office success. He thanked everyone who had seen the movie at the weekend. He also posted a picture of himself, alluding to Jackman, also in costume in bed, looking at a framed photo. This in turn shows Jackman in his Instagram pose. "I miss Hugh already," wrote Reynolds. The two stars are known for being good friends who like to make fun of each other.

Over 438 million dollars

The third Marvel blockbuster about the anti-hero Deadpool grossed over 438 million dollars worldwide at the weekend, according to Disney Studio estimates. In North America alone, 205 million dollars came into the box office. According to the Disney press release, this is the best domestic box office opening of all time for an R-rated movie.

According to the strict R-rating in the USA, young people under the age of 17 may only see the film if accompanied by an adult. For comparison: the original film "Deadpool" opened in North America in 2016 with 132 million dollars, while "Deadpool 2" made 125 million dollars on its debut in 2018. "Deadpool & Wolverine" is peppered with the usual brute, often vulgar humor and entertaining action.
