From ew, The fans have spoken and you really can’t silence the Merc with a Mouth. Following its record-shattering opening weekend, Deadpool is now officially the highest-grossing X-Men film in the U.S.

In a weekend that saw the premieres of the Biblical epic Risen, the Jesse Owens biopic Race, and horror film The Witch, Deadpool earned an estimated $55 million to claim the No. 1 spot for the second consecutive week. X-Men: The Last Stand ($234.36 million), X-Men: Days of Future Past ($233.9 million),X2 $214.95 million), X-Men: First Class ($146.4 million), and The Wolverine ($132.6 million) all fell beneath the film’s 10-day domestic gross of $235.39 million.

Deadpool’s international numbers are equally impressive – this weekend brought in $85 million, which brings its international sales to $256.3 million and worldwide total to $491.9 million.

Risen, though landing in third place behind Kung Fu Panda 3 ($12.5 million), marks another success for a faith-based film following War Room. Telling the story of a Roman soldier investigating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, it brought in $11.8 million from screenings in 2,915 theaters.
