Here's How Much Money Deadpool & Wolverine Could Make Over Its First Weekend

As a hardcore gamer and avid moviegoer with over a decade of experience under my belt, I’ve seen it all – from blockbuster hits to critically panned flops. So when I heard that Deadpool & Wolverine was opening in theaters this weekend, my excitement was palpable.


As a longtime comic book fan and moviegoer, I’m thrilled to share my excitement about Deadpool & Wolverine hitting theaters this weekend! Based on the hype and anticipation surrounding this highly-anticipated collaboration between two iconic characters, I have high expectations for its commercial success.

An R-rated movie featuring Deadpool and Wolverine in the leading roles is predicted to set a new record for the biggest opening weekend box office, exceeding the previous high, which was earned by the initial Deadpool film with a revenue of $132.4 million.

To provide some context, Inside Out 2, released in 2024, generated an impressive $154.2 million in box office sales during its debut weekend in the US. On the other hand, Barbie, which came out in July 2023, boasted an even more substantial opening weekend revenue of $162 million within the US market.

According to Deadline’s report, the following are the top five movies with the highest opening weekend box office revenues in North America:

  1. Spider-Man: No Way Home — $260.1 million
  2. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness — $187.4 million
  3. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever — $181.3 million
  4. Barbie — $162 million
  5. Inside Out 2 — $154.2 million

Opening in China simultaneously with other international markets is an additional advantage for Deadpool and Wolverine’s movie at the box office. The initial Deadpool film was not screened in China, but its sequel, Once Upon a Deadpool, was released there in a toned-down PG-13 version.

According to GameSpot, Deadpool & Wolverine received a score of 4 out of 10 in their review. Other critiques labeled the film as “awful,” while some considered it a riotously funny comeback for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
