Blake Lively’s ‘It Ends With Us’ Just Beats Ryan Reynolds’ ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ at Friday Box Office

Sony’s Colleen Hoover adaptation gives Marvel a run for its money with a $45-49 million opening weekend.

Blake Lively and honoree Ryan Reynolds attend the 36th Annual American Cinematheque Awards at The Beverly Hilton.

This is probably a fun weekend for Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. The married actors have two films in a tighter-than-expected race for No. 1 at the box office, as Sony/Wayfarer’s complex romance “It Ends With Us” is giving Marvel Studios’ “Deadpool & Wolverine” a run for its money.

Reynolds’ historically successful “Deadpool & Wolverine” currently has the edge in its third weekend with an industry estimated $54.5 million, as it will likely be announced on Sunday that the R-rated Marvel Cinematic Universe entry has joined “Joker” as the second film with that rating to reach $1 billion worldwide, with $494 million coming from North America.
