'Deadpool' leads again as N.American box office closes summer strong

"Deadpool & Wolverine" led the North American box office again this weekend, taking in an estimated $15.2 million and helping boost domestic August totals well above pre-pandemic levels for a strong summer finish, analysts said Sunday.

The superhero comedy from Disney and Marvel has led domestic ticket sales nearly every weekend since its release six weeks ago, partly on the draw of popular stars (and pals) Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman.
