Marvel/Ben Rothstein – 2017
(LOS ANGELES) — Logan‘s R-rating didn’t stop it from showing its claws at the weekend box office, and while it didn’t come close to Deadpool‘s record for an R-rated movie, $132.75 million in its opening weekend, the third and final Wolverine movie starring Hugh Jackman, did manage to earn a whopping $85 million, according to Box Office Mojo.
Logan pulled in an additional $152 million overseas, making it Fox’s third biggest international opening ever, trailing only X-Men: Days of Future Past and Avatar.
