LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) — A raunchy new kind of superhero was the Valentine Weekend pick at the movies. It was all roses for 20th Century Fox.
comScore's Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian commented, "Fox's 'Deadpool' cranked up the R-rated volume and in the process captured a massive global audience looking for an edgy twist on the superhero genre with a $260 million opening weekend and smashed expectations in the process. Meanwhile Chinese New Year had audiences in this powerhouse movie territory all abuzz with three homegrown titles taking the second, third and fourth place spots at the international box office."
