by

As a longtime Marvel enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of their cinematic universe since its inception, I must say that the recent box office triumph of Deadpool & Wolverine has left me absolutely thrilled! The fact that this franchise has now surpassed $30 billion at the global box office is nothing short of astounding.

As a lifelong fan of comic book superheroes, I must say that seeing Deadpool & Wolverine on the big screen was nothing short of breathtaking! Having grown up reading their epic battles and adventures, it felt surreal to witness them come to life in this crossover film. The box office success of this movie has truly rekindled my love for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which had been waning a bit after some less-than-stellar recent releases. It’s safe to say that this film has firmly put the franchise back on track and pushed it to new heights, making me eagerly anticipate what’s next in store for these iconic characters and the rest of the Marvel Universe.

Marvel Cinematic Universe is the first to make $30 billion at global box office

Thanks to Deadpool and Wolverine, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has now achieved the remarkable milestone of earning over $30 billion globally in ticket sales, making it the first film franchise ever to do so. Out of the 34 MCU films released so far, an impressive 11 have surpassed the one-billion-dollar mark at the global box office. Two standouts among these, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, have even managed to break the two-billion-dollar barrier in terms of worldwide ticket sales.

Based on the enthusiastic reception of Deadpool and Wolverine, it seems this superhero movie is set to join the ranks of successful releases for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has seen less-than-stellar box office performance with films like Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels. The highly anticipated film hit U.S. theaters on July 26. In its first weekend, it raked in $211 million domestically and $233.1 million internationally, bringing its global total to $444.1 million by the end of Monday. Analysts expect it to surpass $500 million globally by Tuesday. (As reported by Deadline)

As a longtime movie enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of film franchises over the past few decades, I can confidently say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has undeniably solidified its place as the most successful film franchise in history with its latest box-office triumph. This achievement is particularly significant to me because I’ve grown up with these characters and have eagerly anticipated each new addition to the universe. The success of the Spider-Man franchise, which includes the SSU, MCU, and all other Spider-Man films, comes in a close second, amassing an impressive $10.6 billion globally as of late July 2024. Star Wars, while a beloved franchise for many, trails behind both the MCU and Spider-Man with $10.3 billion in total box office earnings. These figures underscore the enduring appeal of these franchises and their ability to captivate audiences worldwide.
