Everyone is eagerly anticipating the earnings of Deadpool and Wolverine, as it appears they are on track to reach the highly sought-after milestone of $1 billion.
The success of the Marvel movie featuring Deadpool and Wolverine was highly anticipated even before its release earlier this month. This was not only due to the fact that it was the Merc With a Mouth’s official entry into the MCU, but also because it finally brought together the two antiheroes in a highly anticipated team-up.
The superhero movie was already doing well, and now it’s even surpassing previous projections at the box office as it hits theaters.
As of July 30, the global box office revenue for Deadpool & Wolverine has reached $496.3 million. By the end of today (July 31), it is expected to surpass the $500 million milestone. Despite being released only seven days ago, the film has already made significant progress towards reaching the $1 billion goal, with half of its earnings coming from the first week alone.
By doing this, Deadpool and Wolverine have shattered several records, including claiming the title of the highest-grossing opening weekend for an R-rated movie.
At this pace, it is poised to surpass the earnings of both Deadpool and Deadpool 2, which made $782 million and $785 million, respectively.
In addition, its opening weekend earnings of $221 million secured its position at number six on the list of movies that have grossed over $200 million in their debut.
Currently, in order for Deadpool & Wolverine to surpass Inside Out 2 as the highest-grossing movie of 2024, it would need to surpass its record-breaking success of $1.508 billion as the highest-grossing animated movie of all time.
Despite surpassing the $1 billion mark, the Marvel movie would still rank as the second highest-grossing film of the year, surpassing other highly anticipated releases such as Dune 2 and Despicable Me 4.
