"Deadpool 2" pulled in $18.6 million on Thursday night at 3,785 North American locations: That's a new record for an R-rated film, topping the $13.5 million debut of horror film "It" last September.

Hopefully, no hard feelings between star Ryan Reynolds, who reprises his role as the foul-mouthed superhero, and Pennnywise player Bill Skarsgard, who costars as acid-spewing Zeitgeist in "Deadpool 2." Or Josh Brolin, who's in both "Deadpool 2" and "Avengers: Infinity War."

In 2016, the first "Deadpool" movie racked up $132.4 million in its debut weekend, which remains the record for an R-rated title. (For now.) It went on to earn $363 million in North America and $783 worldwide, making it the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, according to Variety.
