Fox's Deadpool has broken more boundaries than just the fourth wall, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time

According to Box Office Mojo (as reported by The Guardian), Deadpool has now taken $745m in box office earnings worldwide, surpassing previous long-time record holder, The Matrix Reloaded's $742m.

The film had already broken the record for the biggest R-rated opening weekend, and is now the eighth biggest comic book adaptation in US box office takings.

Who didn't see this coming?

Fox.  They fought this for years and it was only after Reynolds leaked test footage that led to fan response did they finally give in to the idea.
