Deadpool & Wolverine has been a massive success at the box office, nearing the $900 million global mark in just its third week of release. The film, directed by Shawn Levy, has grossed $879.2 million worldwide, with $421 million coming from domestic and $458.2 million from international markets.
It is projected that the film will surpass the $1 billion mark this weekend, making it only the second R-rated movie in history to achieve this feat, following 2019’s Joker. Deadpool & Wolverine is set to overtake Oppenheimer as the second-highest-grossing R-rated title of all time, adding to its growing list of records.
Surpassing films like Deadpool and Deadpool 2, Deadpool & Wolverine is on track to reach $1 billion faster than Joker, despite not having a release in China. This will also mark Disney’s second billion-dollar grosser of the year, following Inside Out 2, and the second movie of 2024 to achieve this milestone.
In its recent weekend, Deadpool & Wolverine surpassed the global earnings of both Deadpool and Deadpool 2. The film continues to climb the domestic ranks, moving past hits like Iron Man 3 and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and now sits in the Top 10 MCU films of all time at No. 9, poised to surpass Captain Marvel soon.
Internationally, the film has performed exceptionally well in key markets, with China leading the way at $48.3 million, followed by the UK, Mexico, Australia, Germany, France, Brazil, India, Spain, and Italy. These strong showings in diverse markets have contributed to the film’s overall global success.
Deadpool & Wolverine’s box office performance showcases its widespread popularity and appeal to audiences around the world. With its eye on the $1 billion milestone and a growing list of records, the film continues to solidify its place as a standout success in the world of cinema.
