The film is already a huge success, with what is now an estimated $85.3 million domestic opening weekend plus whatever it made overseas (to be updated later). James Mangold's Logan, which cost around $100 million (the cheapest X-Men since Bryan Singer's $75m original 17 years ago), just bagged one of the biggest R-rated opening weekends of all time. The film's estimated $85.3 million debut weekend, a strong 2.58x weekend multiplier and a solid 11% Thursday-to-weekend ratio, is actually a record-breaker. But Logan's $85.3 million debut is the fifth-biggest R-rated opening ever and by far (ahead of 300's $70m bow in 2007) the biggest such opening in a conventional Fri-Sun weekend. And, inflation notwithstanding, this is a bigger debut than The Wolverine ($85 million back in 2009) and The Wolverine ($53m in 2013).
