As expected, Logan continues to set the standard for movies in the superhero genre. It had one the biggest openings on Thursday night and now, it's been announced the Hugh Jackman's final movie as Wolverine is now the second biggest R-rated IMAX debut.

According to Exhibitor Relations, Logan was displayed on 1,068 IMAX screens throughout the weekend while on its way to raking in $20.6 million in earnings.

Cast and crew members across the industry have been giving director James Mangold shout outs for his loose interpretation of the Old Man Logan storyline. Guardians of the Galaxy writer/director James Gunn gave Mangold a shout out this weekend and Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds trolled Jackman is his typical Wade Wilson fashion.

In total, Logan has grossed over $237.8 million worldwide. Not taking inflation into account, the movie had the fifth biggest opening of ten movies set in Fox's X-men Universe. While the movie had a significantly smaller opening weekend than Deadpool, it's expected to eclipse the $290 million two-week mark, beating out the original X-Men (2000) movie in the process.
