Disney/Marvel superhero comedy Deadpool &amp; Wolverine&nbsp;continued on a record-setting pace this weekend in North American theatres, clawing its way to an imposing $97 million in ticket sales, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations said Sunday.

That brings its domestic total to $395.6 million -- for the eighth-best second weekend ever, Variety reported -- while international ticket sales were even more impressive, at $428 million.&nbsp;

Buoyed by the popularity of Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), and his pal Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), the movie has already set a new record for the highest domestic gross for an R-rated feature, a distinction held since 2004 by Mel Gibson's epic drama The Passion of the Christ&nbsp;($370 million, not inflation-adjusted).

Universal's weather thriller Twisters&nbsp;held tight in second place, taking in $22.7 million for the Friday-through-Sunday period. Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones play storm chasers caught in the middle of fast-converging tornadoes.

In third was Warner Bros.' new film Trap,&nbsp;at $15.6 million. Analyst David A. Gross called that "a soft opening for an M. Night Shyamalan suspense crime thriller," adding that reviews and audience scores have been "lukewarm."

Josh Hartnett stars as a serial killer avoiding police while at a concert with his daughter. Trap&nbsp;was largely self-financed by Shyamalan, whose 1999 blockbuster The Sixth Sense&nbsp;grossed $673 million.

Slipping one spot to fourth place was Universal animation Despicable Me 4,&nbsp;at $11.3 million. It has now taken in a total $314 million domestically and $386 million internationally.

And in fifth, also down one spot, was Disney's coming-of-age animation Inside Out 2,&nbsp;at $6.7 million. With a domestic gross of $627 million and an overseas total of $928 million, it is now well past the $1.5 billion mark and stands as the top animated film of all time, according to Hollywood Reporter.&nbsp;

Rounding out the top 10 were:

Harold and the Purple Crayon&nbsp;($6 million)

Longlegs&nbsp;($4.1 million)

A Quiet Place: Day One&nbsp;($1.4 million)

The Firing Squad ($925,000)

Daaru Na Peenda Hove ($625,000)
