The highly anticipated film 'Deadpool & Wolverine' has made a remarkable entrance into the box office, shattering the Thursday preview record for an R-rated movie. The comic-book adaptation raked in an impressive $38.5 million from preview screenings on Thursday, as reported by Disney on Friday.
Prior to this, the record for the highest Thursday preview earnings for an R-rated movie was held by 'Deadpool 2,' released in May 2018, which garnered $18.6 million. The success of 'Deadpool & Wolverine' in its previews is more akin to major blockbusters like 'Star Wars: The Rise of the Skywalker' and 'Avengers: Infinity War.'
