While the world watched to see how _Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice_ would fare in its [opening weekend](http://time.com/money/4272484/batman-v-superman-box-office-opening/), another movie quietly crept its way to box-office history. This past weekend, in its sixth week in theaters, _Deadpool_ became the highest-grossing R-rated movie worldwide. Ryan Reynolds’ antihero [passion project](http://time.com/4219431/review-ryan-reynolds-deadpool/) had a solid domestic opening of $132 million Valentine’s Day weekend, and by Easter it had raked in just south of $746 million, edging out _The Matrix Reloaded_, which had held the record since 2003 with $742 million.

The movie’s success has laid to rest the fears of those who believed its rating might negatively influence ticket sales. It had waffled between R and PG-13 ratings several times before landing on its final version. Now that the “[Merc with a Mouth](http://time.com/4215470/deadpool-writers-superhero-movie/)” has this record under his belt, he can set his sights on franchise domination: A [sequel](http://time.com/4215031/deadpool-sequel/) is already in the works, and if its predecessor is any indication, it might well boost the franchise past the billion-dollar mark.
