Deadpool and Wolverine has smashed several records after an even better-than-predicted opening weekend, clawing its way to $438.3 million worldwide for the best R-rated box office debut of all time.

Domestically, the outrageous superhero team-up took in $205 million, becoming only the ninth film in Hollywood history to have crossed the $200 million milestone in its opening weekend.

Now, stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have taken to social media to respond to the news, hilariously recreating the X-Men: The Animated Series "Sad Wolverine" meme which shows a lovesick Logan lying down on his bed while looking at a picture of Jean Grey.

In Jackman's version, the picture says "#1 Movie in the World," while Reynolds' post sees Wade Wilson looking longingly at the Logan image.

Have you been to see Deadpool and Wolverine yet? If so, what did you think? Check out our review here, and drop us a comment down below.

The MPAA recently gave the movie an official R-rating for: "Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references."

“Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date - Deadpool & Wolverine," reads the new synopsis. "A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to - F*ck. Synopses are so f*cking stupid.”

In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the title roles, Deadpool and Wolverine will see Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), who will play a TV agent and Charles Xavier's evil counterpart, Cassandra Nova.

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool and Wolverine from a script by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.

The movie is set to open in U.S. & Canadian theaters on July 26, and will be available in IMAX, RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, Cinemark XD and premium screens everywhere. Will you be checking out Deadpool and Wolverine opening weekend? Let us know in the comments section.

Thankfully it was better than Deadpool 2.

@TheNewYorker - glad it was, Deadpool 2 was such a downgrade compared to DP1.
LOVED D&W

@TheNewYorker - it actually wasn't. Deadpool 2 had more going on in terms of characterization and story. This film is...."but I wanna be an avenger but she said I don't matter, where's Logan?" And "I'm an alcoholic and somehow humans miraculously showed up to the X-mansion and wiped out the X-Men because that makes sense".

DP2 is a better DP film.

This is a fun MCU film featuring Deadpool with a rated R coating. It's a fun movie but it dropped the ball in the third act. Shoulda had the cameos go on to fight the DP corps with DP and Logan (fitting thematically with Wade's desire to join a team and instead finding and creating his own) and have the team help fight The DP corps instead of the mindless mutant variants... Have Cassandra mind controlling Logan in that final fight and him having PTSD from it internally whilst he kills Elektra, Gambit and ALMOST EVEN MURDERS HIS OWN DAUGHTER X23(have Logan be the one who killed his universes xmen instead of going the safe route of having his alcoholism be to blame) and in the end only Deadpool can talk Logan out of the mind control by monologuing on how both of them really do matter and that it isnt his fault he can be a great man blah blah blah. They botched what was right in front of them. Coulda been a 9/10 and instead it's a hard 7.5 IMO.

@OptimusCrime - Deadpool 2 was better than 1, its problem was its budget didnt match its ambition.

@Spidey91 - never doubted it. Jackman and Reynolds have great chemistry on- and off-screen, and they know what plays well with the audience.

Fun, funny and stupid ride. Enjoyed every minute of it. 4/5 for me. Maybe 3.5
McMurdo
McMurdo - 7/28/2024, 5:30 PM
@Izaizaiza - so 3.5 lol. When everyone has to say it's fun and stupid in every praising review you know they dropped the ball on the character work and narrative front. It's a mindless movie. Fun epitomizes it. I don't think it's as good as DP2 and certainly not in the same conversation as DP1
Izaizaiza
Izaizaiza - 7/28/2024, 5:52 PM
@McMurdo - I agree 100%. Has more in common with an episode of The family Guy, then with a actual film with characters and story and stuff
McMurdo
McMurdo - 7/28/2024, 5:55 PM
@Izaizaiza - That's genuinely a really great way to put it lol. You aren't wrong.

Watching the naysayers trying to cherry pick and nitpick anything they can use (in what seems to be a limitless void of articles tailored around the film that just reminds me of Event Horizon) to say that DP & W is bad is tremendously funny.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 7/28/2024, 5:38 PM
@MahN166A - I've not seen anyone say it's bad. Even people trying to say its bad still day it's good and a fun 2 hours. I think people who wanted it to be better than Guardians 3 or the best film since IW feel slighted by such commentary which is their prerogative.
MahN166A
MahN166A - 7/28/2024, 5:46 PM
@McMurdo -

I definitely have where some say that it doesn’t “hold up to the original” or that it’s “overshadowed by all the cameos” and that the ljokes aren’t clever or even funny whatsoever”. Reviews whether they be official, or from fans.

But it’s like you say, their prerogative.

In my words, I’d say it’s THEIR FAULT for trying to make such a comparison
McMurdo
McMurdo - 7/28/2024, 5:49 PM
@MahN166A - yeah I mean no chance it was topping the first. I do feel the cameos were low-key the most exciting parts of the film but do with that as you will. It's objectively a good movie IMO. It's just not the tide turner people were projecting it to be.

The best line in the movie is "Whose your dialect coach? A minion?" 😂

Marvel's best stuff since Endgame is stuff featuring characters from other studios. The worst elements of the movie involved the shit TVA crap from Loki.

It was nice that WB's DCU studio was called "Shit [frick]s" in the movie. Very nice!
McMurdo
McMurdo - 7/28/2024, 5:39 PM
@PartyKiller - nonsense. Guardians 3 buries this film in every single department. Endgame wasn't even as good as IW.

CharlesLeeRay - 7/28/2024, 7:02 PM
@McMurdo - Seriously, dude? Are you gonna respond to every user that enjoyed the movie? Like chill! We get it, you are in the minority that didn't like it. But that doesn't make you interesting or wise. If anything, you're looking a desperated edgy.

Lol, that’s great.

It’s so nice to see it’s success especially after a rough period for cbms at the box office recently and it was a solid movie to boot that had humor , action & heart that connected with me and other people for the most part.

It wasn’t perfect and had issues but man , the experience itself just elevated it for me aswell

It’s exactly what it claims to be! Just a fun ride! It’s not meant to be better than infinity war or even push marvel down the field at all, it’s meant to be a hilarious ride and just a great time which I think it is exactly that. Very self aware and a great introduction to these characters for the marvel universe as well as a respectful actually goodbye to Fox. I think Tim Miller’s influence in the first Deadpool is hugely underrated though, and bringing him back for a marvel Deadpool installment would be a great way to try to top this!
McMurdo
McMurdo - 7/28/2024, 5:40 PM
@Ghoul - it's an R rated Marvel film featuring Deadpool. Expecting more was low key on your own expectations. This was never going to change anything. We got Agatha and Iron Heart literally on the horizon.



Shit we just got RDJ back as Doctor Doom.

Deadpool 4 needs to be Deadpool Team Red with Daredevil & Spider-Man and have the villain be Omega Red or Carnage.

Loved the movie, my excitement for the MCU was back to Phase 1/2 levels of excitement, then came the Dr Doom announcement and it’s back to being post Endgame.

The film felt a bit disconnected from everything while being aware of it. Which was good

MisterDoctor217 - 7/28/2024, 6:37 PM
I loved it, even when it obviously had its flaws.

But damn the characterization of Wolverine and Deadpool was spot on !!
The pathos and everything was there and Hugh was on top of his game as Wolverine.
Excellent performances.

SonOfAGif - 7/28/2024, 6:51 PM
@MisterDoctor217 - This is the product of allowing people who love the source material the ability to express it and bring it to live action with little studio interference. That's why it's hard for me to believe people like Edgar Wright and Joss Whedon when always complain about studio interference. Ryan Reynolds stated that Marvel Studios gave them the requirements and that he and his crew had almost all free reign. Ryan Coogler said the same thing and so did Destin Cretton.
