Deadpool has taken the US box office by storm, annihilating records with an eye-popping $135 million from its first three days in cinemas according to comScore estimates today.
The Fox film, which stars Ryan Reynolds as the foul-mouthed superhero, easily trounced last year's record-setting $85.2m February debut of the erotic drama Fifty Shades Of Grey.
It also became the biggest R-rated (restricted) opening ever, surpassing The Matrix Reloaded, which opened to $91.8m in May of 2003.
Coming in a distant second was last weekend's number one film Kung Fu Panda with $19.7m.
In third place, the Dakota Johnson and Rebel Wilson rom-com How To Be Single opened to $18.8m, while the dismally reviewed Ben Stiller vehicle Zoolander 2 debuted in fourth to only $5.7 million.
