Based on Friday's performance, the film is on track for a whopping $90 million second weekend, defying typical box office drops.
Despite opening to a massive box office, Deadpool & Wolverine continues to attract audiences, indicating strong word-of-mouth.
M. Night Shyamalan's thriller, Trap, opened to $7.2 million on Friday, including previews.
With a strong Friday, the film is expected to debut with a $17 million opening weekend.
Trap's opening is considered solid considering the competitive market and mixed reviews.
The animated film, Harold & The Purple Crayon, struggled on Friday, earning only $2.4 million.
Based on Friday's numbers, the film is expected to have a disappointing opening weekend of around $6 million.
With a production budget of $40 million, Harold & The Purple Crayon is likely to be a box office failure.
Despite the underperformance of Harold & The Purple Crayon, the overall box office is strong, with Deadpool & Wolverine leading the charge.
