Deadpool & Wolverine snarks its way back to the top of the box office as summer 2024 winds down

For the first time since the last weekend in May 2024, no movies in the cinemas, whether they were continuing showings or new releases, managed to earn more than $40 million. However, the upcoming films “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” and a new “Joker” production are expected to revitalize the box office. For now, though, the last two weeks of August 2024 will be relatively calm affairs. This past weekend was so quiet that an almost month-old superhero movie reclaimed the top spot at the box office. In its fifth weekend of release, “Deadpool & Wolverine” clawed its way back to the number one position, earning a strong $18.3 million, which represents a 39% decrease from the previous weekend. At this point, it’s clear that “Deadpool & Wolverine” is destined for box office success, and there’s not much more to say about it. Currently, “Deadpool & Wolverine” has earned $577.2 million domestically, and it’s expected to surpass $600 million by the first weekend of September. Once it does, it will join an exclusive club of only 16 movies in history to have exceeded $600 million domestically.
