‘Deadpool’ (2016)
Domestic Gross: $363 million
When “Deadpool” debuted in theaters in 2016 and smashed box office records, it was obvious that audiences were primed for an R-rated superhero. This Ryan Reynolds-starring film currently holds many records, including the highest-grossing R-rated superhero film of all time and the biggest R-rated opening weekend ever. It’s still the highest-grossing X-Men film ever, topping a long list of box office hits, the majority of which were PG-13. “Deadpool” comes within $7 million of shattering the all-time box office mark for R-rated films in the United States.
