Deadpool 3 Is Making More Money Than Avatar: The Way Of Water So Far

As someone who’s been following the Marvel Cinematic Universe since its inception, I must say, the box office success of Deadpool & Wolverine is nothing short of exhilarating! This movie has already surpassed my expectations and it’s even outshining Avatar: The Way of Water, which is no small feat.


As a die-hard fan, I can’t contain my excitement! Deadpool & Wolverine is still breaking records at the box office, with today, July 30, being a significant day. The movie is projected to hit a monumental milestone today, surpassing $500 million globally according to Deadline. And get this – it’s even outpacing Avatar: The Way of Water so far!

Over the first three days, Deadpool & Wolverine’s debut brought in a massive $444.1 million, with a staggering $211 million coming from North America. On Monday, the film added to its earnings, pushing the global total for Deadpool & Wolverine to an impressive $496.3 million. With only a few million dollars left to go on July 30, this blockbuster duo will soon reach the $500 million mark worldwide.

For additional perspective, the debut of Deadpool and Wolverine surpassed that of Avatar: The Water Path ($439 million), marking the largest global opening for a film since Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021 ($587.2 million) was released.

While it’s unlikely that Deadpool and Wolverine can match the box office success of Avatar: The Way of Water, given its impressive theatrical earnings of $2.32 billion and a spot among the top three highest-grossing films ever, is undeniable.

Globally, both Deadpool and Wolverine have been receiving significant support due to the simultaneous release of their movies, including China, alongside other international markets. Interestingly, the first Deadpool film in 2016 didn’t make it to Chinese cinemas, while Deadpool 2 was only released there after undergoing several edits and a title change to Deadpool 2: I Love My Family.

In terms of global earnings for Deadpool and Wolverine, China emerges as the film’s most lucrative international market with a gross of approximately $27.6 million. This is followed closely by the UK with earnings of around $25 million, Mexico with about $21.5 million, Australia with around $14.1 million, Brazil with approximately $10.8 million, and India with roughly $10.6 million.

To delve deeper, take a look at GameSpot’s critique of Deadpool & Wolverine, rating it a 4/10. According to reviewer Phil Owen, the final act is perplexing and gives the impression that significant scenes were excised, resulting in no substantial ties to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This pattern has been consistent for the past five years within this franchise, making the fact that Deadpool & Wolverine is the only MCU film on the 2024 schedule a major letdown.
