Box-office winner: Josh Brolin

Deadpool and his foul-mouthed crew of misfits and malcontents have taken down the Avengers. Fox’s “Deadpool 2” brought in $125 million this weekend, ending the three-week reign of Disney’s “Avengers: Infinity War” at the top of the North American box office.

“Deadpool 2,” with Ryan Reynolds returning as the title character and co-writing this time, fell somewhat short of the $130 million the studio predicted and the $132.4 million that its predecessor earned two years ago.

The film also stars Josh Brolin as Cable. He played “Thanos” in “Infinity War,” which means this is his fourth week in a row to have a film atop the US weekend box office. Here are the top 10 films this week.
