Deadpool & Wolverine targeting a huge opening

The tracking for the Deadpool & Wolverine opening is targeting the biggest opening weekend ever for an R-rated movie.

Advance tracking is showing that the third Deadpool movie – the first for Marvel Studios – could open with $165M. This would be the biggest opening for the series as well as any R-rated movie. The current record holder is the first Deadpool with $132.4M, followed in second place by the second film with $125M.

There is another tracking service, Quorum, that has been reporting an opening of $200M, but the consensus is landing more in the $160M to $165M range.

Only time will tell where it actually lands, but it definitely sounds as though it’s going to be a huge opening for Disney and Marvel Studios.

Deadpool & Wolverine will hit theaters on July 26.
