Deadpool hit theaters on February 12th. Since then, the blockbuster R-Rated film has grossed over
$287.6 million, and is set to rack up another
$20 million this weekend. Even so, box office analysts predict that
Deadpool will finally be dethroned at the box office, after holding the top spot for three consecutive weekends! Which film will match Deadpool's awesomeness? According to a report by
Variety, Disney’s
Zootopia looks to be the film to take the number 1 position!
Zootopia (which currently has a
100% on Rotten Tomatoes), is estimated to open up with a gross of
$60 million, which should definitely be enough to top the Merc with a Mouth’s film.
Anyhow, the studio executives at
Fox are expecting
Deadpool to beat the record for the highest domestic gross for an R-rated film. “
Passion of the Christ” currently holds the record with
$370.8 million. If Deadpool can continue putting up strong numbers, surpassing that number should come with ease. Do you think Deadpool will conquer the record? If you do, how much do you think Deadpool will make domestically before its run is over? Share your thoughts and ideas in the comment section below!
