Update: While weekend estimates put the opening total of “Deadpool & Wolverine” at $205 million, Monday morning Disney adjusted that number up to $211 million for the sixth-biggest opening weekend in box office history.

Disney/Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine’ is now the ninth film in box office history — and the first with an R rating — to join the $200 million-plus opening weekend club with a $211 million launch from 4,210 locations.

It’s the largest opening weekend the box office has seen since the last film to join that club, “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” opened to $260 million in December 2021.
