'Deadpool & Wolverine' Is Now The Highest-Grossing R-Rated Film Of All Time

Deadpool & Wolverine is officially the biggest R-rated film of all time.

It officially surpassed the previous record held by Joker at the global box office this past week, with $1.086 billion in box office sales compared to the latter’s $1.078 billion.

It took just 23 days for Deadpool & Wolverine to break this record. Ever since the movie came out in July, it’s been a smash success. In its opening weekend alone, it earned $205 million — making it, at the time, the eighth-best debut of all time.

Since the release of the movie, Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool, has been shouting his praises for his co-stars on Instagram.

For Channing Tatum, who plays the part of Gambit in a fun cameo moment, Reynolds gave a glowing endorsement — practically begging for movie studios to give the hero his own movie.

"Gambit is a guy Chan was born to play," wrote Reynolds. "His story is similar to my road on Deadpool — in that Chan spent a decade trying to put the most comic-accurate version of Gambit on the big screen."

"Remy LeBeau is grafted to his soul and needs to come out and deal," he continued. "Some characters can only exist with a one-in-a-billion pairing, and this is it. Gambit found his author in Chan."

Similarly for Chris Evans, who reprises his role as Human Torch in the movie, Reynolds dedicated a post to how awesome he is, too.

“Chris is one of those movie stars who’s actually better than you hope he is,” wrote Reynolds. “And people hold him to a crazy high standard. He’s just the absolute best.”

As Deadpool & Wolverine continues to become even bigger, it’s even brought back one of NSYNC’s biggest hits to the Billboard Hot 100.
