WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Deadpool threepeats atop the chart with 31.5MM and is now the third biggest R-rated movie (behind Passion of the Christ and American Sniper.

It will probably not be Lionsgate's post-Hunger Games franchise, even though its exposure was a fraction of that budget (10MM plus marketing costs). Kung Fu Panda 3 shows with a leggy 9MM. Risen takes the fourth slot with 7MM and has ercouped its production budget. The faith-based historical drama has yet to test overseas markets.
