‘Deadpool’ soars past $600 million globally, R-rated record in sight

There’s no stopping the “Merc with a Mouth.”

“Deadpool” continued to dominate the foreign box office this weekend, picking up $40 million to push the comic-book movie’s global haul past $600 million globally and nab first place on the overseas charts. The red spandex-wearing superhero now has a very good chance of overtaking Neo and “The Matrix Reloaded’s” $742 million worldwide haul to become the highest-grossing R-rated film in history.
