‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ claws its way back to No. 1 beating out ‘Alien: Romulus’
The boys are back in town.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” clawed its way back to No. 1 on Friday, finishing its fourth week in theaters.
After being dethroned last week by the theatrical debut of “Alien: Romulus,” the Marvel superhero flick reigned supreme at the box office once again, raking in $4.8 million, according to The Numbers.
The film has already surpassed $1.154 billion in revenue worldwide, making it the eighth highest-grossing superhero movie ever, according to Collider.
“Alien: Romulus” landed in second, with a $4.5 million take.
Within one week of its release, the sci-fi horror flick, which cost $80 million to make, has already surpassed $50 million at the domestic box office, as per ScreenRant.
The romantic drama “It Ends With Us,” an adaption of Colleen Hoover’s 2016 novel, remained steady at No. 3, bringing in $3.825 million.
The highly buzzed-about film, which has made headlines for reported drama between its stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, may be getting a sequel, following in the footsteps of the book.
“I mean, we have the option on it,” Baldoni, who also served as the movie’s director, told Variety.
“I haven’t even begun to think that far ahead. I’m trying to stay in the present as much as I can.”
Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut “Blink Twice,” starring her fiancé Channing Tatum, landed in fourth, with sales of close to $2.9 million.
The Post called the psychological thriller, which was released Friday, “a captivating, freaky private island thriller.”
Biblical drama “The Forge” took fifth place with $2.425 million in sales. It is a sequel to 2015’s “War Room,” which earned $68 million domestically.
The film was directed by the Kendrick Brothers, and the Washington Times called it the trio’s “most complete and polished work.”
