The audience skewed a bit older for this than with the first; possibly due to unaware parents now realizing this isn&#8217;t a Marvel Studios family friendly release? In terms of gender lines, it played 61% male and 39% female.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Merc<\/em> will face competition next weekend with &#8220;Solo: A Star Wars Story,&#8221; which opens in over 4,2000 theaters. There&#8217;s also the continuing competition from Disney&#8217;s &#8220;Avengers: Infinity War.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Internationally, DP2 brought in an estimated $176.3 million from 81 foreign markets, which is a record for the studio in Mexico ($10m), India ($6.29m), Indonesia ($4.7m), Thailand ($3.4m), Vietnam ($2m) and Chile ($1.9m). The film has not been given a release date (yet) in China, the world&#8217;s second largest market.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/movies\/?id=foxmarvel18.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Box Office<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Director David Leitch&#8217;s DEADPOOL 2 arrived in theaters with a smashing $301.3 million estimated worldwide&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48188,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Box Office: #Deadpool2 marks 20th Century Fox's second largest opening of all time!","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[10,69],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-box-office","category-deadpool-2"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/x-menfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DP2-Yukio.jpg?fit=960%2C540&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48187\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/48188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
