LOS ANGELES: Marvel’s antihero blockbuster “Deadpool” continued to dominate North American movie theaters over the weekend, earning an estimated $31.5 million in its third week, according to comScore estimates Sunday. The total domestic haul for 20th Century Fox’s comic book adaptation starring Ryan Reynolds as Marvel’s foul-mouthed mercenary now stands at $285.6 million, making it the third highest-grossing R-rated film.

Among the newcomers that failed to topple “Deadpool” this weekend included the feel-good Olympic tale “Eddie the Eagle” in fifth place with $6.3 million and the heist romp “Triple 9” in sixth place with $6.1 million.

“The Revenant” was the only Academy Award contender to crack the weekend’s Top 10 with $3.8 million in its 10th week of release. The survival epic leads Oscar nominees with 12 nods at Sunday’s 88th annual ceremony, including best picture, best actor for Leonardo DiCaprio, best supporting actor for Tom Hardy and best director for Alejandro G. Inarritu.
