Ryan's film, Deadpool & Wolverine, has topped the charts after raking in a whopping $494.3million (£385.9million) domestically since the 26th of July.

Blake's film It Ends With Us, based on the Colleen Hoover novel of the same name, is in second place after the opening weekend.

According to People, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis were the last married couple to manage the same feat, 34 years ago!

Back in 1990, Die Hard 2 was released followed by Ghost two weeks later.

They were the top two films at the US box office.

Ghost earned a huge $217.6million (£169.9million), with Die Hard 2 managing $117.5million (£91.7million).

Blake also had a recent cameo in the latest Deadpool movie, and Ryan has also written scenes for It Ends With Us.

"He works on everything I do. I work on everything he does", said Lively.

She told E! News: “The iconic rooftop scene, my husband actually wrote it. Nobody knows that, but you now.”
