Fox’s R rated sequel Deadpool 2 got off to a fairly strong start in its opening weekend, though it did not match or exceed the opening weekend that its predecessor set two years prior. Meanwhile, Book Club exceeded expectations, Infinity War fell a bit more than expected, and Show Dogs barely registered a blip on the radar.

There were two records that Deadpool 2 broke this weekend; the first was being the widest R rated release to date, playing in a massive 4,349 theaters. Interestingly, only five R rated titles have ever made it into over 4,000 theaters, and all except this one were released in 2017 – those being Kingsman: The Golden Circle, It, Blade Runner 2049 and Logan. Additionally, it did set a new record for highest opening day for an R rated title, barely topping the aforementioned It with $53.3 million. Deadpool 2 played significantly more front loaded than its predecessor, though that’s not too surprising considering the summer release date, and the fact that that film benefited from Valentine’s Day and President’s Day in its first four days of release.

All things considered, this is still a big win for Fox, considering the $110 million tentpole has already pulled in $300 million worldwide. However, it still feels like it should have done a bit better, and will likely see a larger than anticipated drop-off from the originals $360M+ haul. Why this happened isn’t exactly clear, considering it had strong reviews, word of mouth, and excellent marketing. If Solo ends up being strong competition and cuts its legs short, Fox will undoubtedly be kicking themselves for giving up the prime June 1st release date, which now houses no major titles, before Ocean’s 8 and Hereditary hit theaters the following weekend. For a final run, look for Deadpool 2 to close under $300 million.

Avengers: Infinity War was down 54% in round four, an admirable enough hold considering the direct competition, despite fans hoping for it to hit $30 million. Now just $5 million short of the $600 million mark domestically.

In third place, Book Club posted solid results, with $12.5 million from around 2,700 locations. Strangely, the film actually dipped 1% on Saturday, which is unusual for a film targeted at older audiences. This solid opening combined with overall positive word of mouth could potentially mean a long run domestically, and with a production budget of only $10 million, this should continue Paramount’s winning streak after A Quiet Place set the box office ablaze.

Last weekends two Mother’s Day releases, Breaking In and Life of the Party both fell about as much as expected. Breaking In fell harder at 64%, but has already made 5X its budget worldwide in just two weeks. Life of the Party, on the other hand, has made just $36 million against a budget of $29 million, which is a bit disappointing considering its McCarthy’s first film appearance in nearly two years.

Landing with a thud was Global Road’s Show Dogs, which cracked $6 million from an ultrawide 3,212 locations. Global Road is another in the many companies who are giving nationwide releases to smaller titles that might be better served on VOD markets, such as Entertainment Studios, Electric Entertainment, or Aviron Pictures. Without any family competition until mid-June, this may hold decently enough, but this kind of opening doesn’t cut it for such a wide theater count.

Magnolia’s sleeper hit documentary RBG posted another top-10 weekend, with $1.2 million from 375 theaters. Opening in limited release, A24’s First Reformed posted a satisfyingly symmetrical $100K start from four locations. Also, the re-release of 2001: A Space Odyssey opened in 4 70mm locations and did $200K worth of business. Considering the limitations of the format, it won’t be playing in many more theaters, but that’s still a very strong start for this kind of release.
