As a lifelong comic book enthusiast who grew up with Deadpool and Wolverine gracing the pages of my favorite issues, I can hardly contain my excitement over the news that their latest cinematic adventure has crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box office!
The blockbuster film starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, titled Deadpool & Wolverine, surpassed a significant milestone at the worldwide box office on Sunday, having grossed over $1 billion. This movie, applauded for reviving Marvel’s top-tier entertainment, is breaking numerous box office records and is on its way to becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film. Its momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
Deadpool & Wolverine earnings cross $1 Billion
For the initial time together, the action-packed multiverse journey starring Deadpool and Wolverine featured the long-anticipated pairing of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman on screen. The movie, which boasted the biggest R-rated opening in history, raked in a staggering $444.1 million worldwide during its debut weekend. After three weekends, this box office juggernaut has grossed nearly $1.029 billion globally.
In just 19 days, Deadpool, starring Ryan Reynolds, joined an exclusive group of billion-dollar films and became the fourth fastest movie to reach this mark. Defying all predictions in 2024, it is only the second film this year to accomplish this feat after Disney’s Inside Out 2. This means that Deadpool has truly embodied its nickname “Marvel Jesus,” providing the studio with a long-awaited triumph following a series of tough times at the box office.
Furthermore, this movie has secured the second position in box office earnings for R-rated films, surpassing Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed film Oppenheimer (2023), which grossed approximately $975 million. With only three weekends under its belt, it’s poised to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever made.
Deadpool to beat Joker and become the highest-grossing R-rated movie
Deadpool and Wolverine have not only earned over a billion dollars at the box office, but they’re now almost catching up with The Joker from 2019, currently holding the global record for highest-grossing R-rated film.
As a devoted cinema enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that my favorite film has surpassed The Passion of Christ in domestic earnings, raking in an impressive $494 million so far. By the upcoming weekend, it’s poised to outshine Joker, which grossed an astounding $1.07 billion globally. I can hardly wait!
The movie featuring Deadpool and Wolverine has approximately two months (August and September) left to keep raking in profits at the box office. It’s yet to be determined where it will rank among the top-earning Marvel Cinematic Universe films in the end.
