July 28 (Reuters) - Marvel's raunchy and violent
"Deadpool & Wolverine" lit up box offices over the weekend with
$205 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales, the biggest
domestic opening of the year, distributor Walt Disney  DIS.N 
said on Sunday. 
    The returns set a record for an R-rated film and topped the
$154.2 million collected by another Disney film, the animated
Pixar movie "Inside Out 2," when it debuted in June.
