The success of 20th Century Fox?s R-rated Marvel adaptation Deadpool 2 could help convince Disney to release more adult fare that otherwise doesn?t align with the family-friendly Walt Disney Pictures brand.
The Deadpool sequel opened to $125 million domestically with a $301 million global total over the weekend, making it a big hit for Fox, whose film and television assets were purchased by Disney in a $52.4 billion dollar deal in December that has yet to go through.
