Deadpool is a certified global phenomenon.

The violent comic-book movie isnt getting lost in translation, topping the foreign box office for the second weekend in a row to the tune of $85 million. Given that its worldwide total stands at $491.7 million, Deadpool should cross the $500 million mark at some point on Monday.

The film about a wise-cracking mercenary opened in first place in 17 new markets, including South Korea with $12 million, Spain with $4.1 million and Italy with a $3.3 million haul. Moviegoers seem to be embracing the foul-mouthed title character played by Ryan Reynolds, but the four-letter words and blood-letting did come at a price. Deadpool has been banned in China, the worlds second-largest film market. Fox produced Deadpool for $58 million.

Saw it. It was good, but too many references to using the hand for pleasure and ponies.

Is there a pony thing I don't know about?

It was OK. I felt that if I was a teen age boy, I'd have enjoyed it more.

I couldn't let my teenager, boy or girl, see this. Too many dirty sex jokes.

You are right however, they failed at successfully incorporating adult humor into the movie.
