Deadpool breaks US box office records


The R-rated Deadpool has taken the box office by storm, annihilating records with an eye-popping $US135 million ($A190.76 million) from its first three days in theatres according to comScore estimates.
The Fox film, which stars Ryan Reynolds as the foul-mouthed superhero, easily trounced last year's record-setting $US85.2 million February debut of the erotic drama Fifty Shades of Grey.

It also became the biggest R-rated opening ever, surpassing The Matrix Reloaded, which opened to $US91.8 million in May of 2003.

Coming in a distant second was last weekend's leader, Kung Fu Panda 3 with $US19.6 million.
In third place, the Dakota Johnson and Rebel Wilson rom-com How to Be Single opened to $US18.8 million, while the dismally reviewed Ben Stiller vehicle Zoolander 2 debuted in fourth to only $US15.7 million.

                                 Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce has slammed Arsene Wenger, saying Arsenal have blown their best chance of ending their Premier League title drought. The Gunners chances of winning a first league title since 2004 were dealt a severe blow with their 3-3 draw against West Ham on Saturday. Wenger’s men are therefore now 10 points adrift of surprise leaders Leicester City, who can extend their lead when they play relegation-threatened Sunderland on Sunday. And Allardyce reminded Wenger of just how big a chance Arsenal have let slip this season. “They won’t get a better time to win the league than this season,” he told reporters. “A normal season would have seen Leicester, having the season they’ve had, maybe finishing in the top four, which would have been miraculous. “But they’ve had an opportunity that, without any doubt, Arsenal have missed.
