Deadpool 2 reportedly took in $18.6M last night, easily making it the best preview night ever for an R-rated film.
Today, 20th Century Fox's X-Men spinoff expands to 4,349 theaters and projections indicate that it will have a very lucrative opening weekend indeed. Exact estimates vary, but it's definitely expected to top the $138 million record set by its predecessor, and knock Avengers: Infinity War off the top spot in the process.
