“We are thrilled to see Deadpool & Wolverine bringing people to theaters for the biggest opening weekend ever for an R-rated movie,” said Michael O’Leary, NATO’s President & CEO. “This is the kind of movie you want to experience on the big screen and the historic level of enthusiasm this weekend reminds us yet again that audiences know there is no experience like theatrical. We also know that when people go to the movies, they want to come back — so we are excited to capitalize on this weekend’s energy with a robust theatrical slate in months to come.”
