Walt Disney Co.’s Deadpool & Wolverine took in $211.4 million in US and Canadian ticket sales this weekend, Comscore Inc. said Monday, marking the biggest domestic debut of this year.

The movie also scored the best-ever opening for an R-rated picture, with more than twice the ticket sales of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.’s Joker during its first weekend. Joker went on to become the highest grossing R-rated film in history with more than $1 billion at the box office after its 2019 release.
