As a movie buff with over two decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen my fair share of box office records being broken and new milestones being set in the world of cinema. But Disney’s Marvel epic “Deadpool & Wolverine” has truly left me in awe with its impressive performance at the global box office.
Within three short days of hitting theaters, Disney’s Marvel blockbuster “Deadpool & Wolverine” has become one of the top-earning films of the year.
In the summer of 2024, the blockbuster film “Deadpool & Wolverine,” featuring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman reprising their iconic comic book roles, raked in a impressive $233 million at international box offices and an astonishing $438 million globally. This superhero sequel ranks just below “Inside Out 2,” “Dune: Part Two,” “Despicable Me 4,” “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” and “Kung Fu Panda 4” in worldwide box office sales for the year, with earnings of $1.5 billion, $711 million, $596 million, $567.6 million, and $545 million respectively.
The movie is expected to climb high on international charts in the upcoming weeks, yet experts are debating if “Deadpool 3” can surpass the $1 billion threshold at the box office. Based on its early earnings, it appears likely that it will reach this milestone. Nevertheless, only one R-rated film has achieved this feat so far – “Joker” (2019), which grossed $1.07 billion worldwide. When they initially came out, “Deadpool” (2016) with $782 million and “Deadpool 2” (2018) with $785 million held the record for highest-grossing R-rated films.
As a movie critic, I’m thrilled to share that “Deadpool & Wolverine” made an impressive global debut in 2024, breaking the records with a revenue of over $439 million in comparable markets, surpassing the opening weekend of “Avatar: The Way of Water.” Outside the US and Canada, key contributors to this box office success were China with an impressive $24 million, the United Kingdom bringing in $22.1 million, Mexico contributing $18.7 million, Australia adding $13 million, Germany delivering $10 million, Brazil earning $10 million, and India rounding up the list with a solid $10 million. Overall, this international launch marked a new milestone for R-rated Hollywood films, outshining “Joker’s” opening revenue of approximately $147 million based on current exchange rates.
People chose to see “Deadpool & Wolverine” on large and vibrant screens, bringing in $36.5 million for Imax. This is the eighth largest Imax opening, following “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in 2021 with a revenue of $37.1 million.
Over the past weekend, Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe reached an unprecedented milestone by surpassing $30 billion in worldwide box office revenue. This impressive film franchise, which includes 34 titles released over a 15-year span, is unmatched in Hollywood for its productivity. Although not every movie was a box office success (such as “Eternals,” “The Marvels,” and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania”), the MCU continues to enjoy immense popularity.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” is the first R-rated film in the MCU, as well as the first to be headlined by comic book characters that were previously licensed to 20th Century Fox. Directed by Shawn Levy, the superhero tentpole follows Wade Wilson a.k.a. Deadpool a.k.a. the Merc With a Mouth as he leaves behind the mercenary life to become a used car salesman. But all that changes when he’s recruited by the organization known as the Time Variance Authority — which exists outside of time and space to monitor the multiverse — to help with a new mission. He teams with a reluctant Wolverine to save the Merc’s home universe and change the history of the MCU.
