(Twentieth Century Fox 2017)TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX is being handsomely rewarded for carving out a different superhero path for the 21st century. One year after the Fox underdog “Deadpool” struck box-office gold, “Logan” is repeating that feat — thanks to crucially similar elements in their approaches. Combined with an impressive $152.5 million overseas, “Logan” grossed a whopping $237.8 million worldwide. “Logan,” by contrast, cost $97 million to make, and “Deadpool” was made for a relatively paltry $58 million. Fox might be losing Jackman’s Wolverine, but the studio has gained a uniquely strategic seat at the superhero table.
