Deadpool overtakes X-Men: Days of Future Past to become highest-grossing X-Men movie of all time

April 3, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Last week Deadpool claimed the record as the biggest R-rated movie of all time, and now the Ryan Reynolds-headlined film has reached another milestone, overtaking X-Men: Days of Future past to become the highest-grossing instalment of 20th Century Fox’s X-Men franchise.

Deadpool has pushed its worldwide total to $749.9 million this weekend, surpassing the $747.9 million that Bryan Singer’s Days of Future Past earned back in 2014. That also makes it the eleventh-biggest superhero movie in history behind The Amazing Spider-Man, which sits on $757.9 million.

Deadpool sees Ryan Reynolds starring as the Merc with a Mouth alongside T.J. Miller (Transformers: Age of Extinction) as Weasel, Morena Baccarin (Gotham) as Copycat, Gina Carano (Fast & Furious 6) as Angel Dust, Ed Skrein (Game of Thrones) as Ajax, Stefan Kapicic (24) as Colossus, Leslie Uggams (Roots) as Blind Al and newcomer Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead.
