DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Broke All the Box Office Records

As a hardcore gamer and avid moviegoer with a soft spot for comic book adaptations, I can confidently say that Deadpool & Wolverine has left me utterly thrilled and impressed. The opening weekend numbers alone are enough to make any fanboy’s heart race!


At TopMob, we had a blast watching Deadpool and Wolverine! Not everyone might feel the same, but it’s clear that many people flocked to see the movie during its debut weekend. With an impressive $211 million earnings in its opening weekend, it secured the sixth spot among the highest domestic opening weekends of all time. Interestingly, Disney owns the top five spots, with Deadpool and Wolverine now trailing only Avengers: Endgame ($357.1M), Spider-Man: No Way Home ($260.1M), Avengers: Infinity War ($257.6M), Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($247.9M), and Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($220M) in terms of initial box office earnings.

As a die-hard fan, I’m ecstatic to share that this movie not only shattered numerous records but also established new benchmarks. It became the highest-grossing weekend opening for an R-rated film ever, earning a staggering $444.1 million globally and $211 million domestically. This phenomenal figure surpasses the previous record set by the first Deadpool in 2016, which grossed $264M worldwide, excluding China, and $132.4M domestically.

If you’re asking for an alternative way to express “You want more? We’ve got more! Deadpool & Wolverine outperformed The Lion King (the recent remake) as the top July box office launch. It also marked the 34th MCU film to debut at the leading position. To date, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has amassed over $30 billion in revenue.”,

Well, let me tell you, the pairing of Deadpool and Wolverine has been nothing short of a blockbuster hit! Could this be a sign that the Marvel Cinematic Universe is making a comeback? Or is it simply because fans adore these two characters and all things X-Men? The answer remains elusive. But, hold on tight to your seats, as we’re in for another thrilling ride with Captain America: Brave New World, coming in February!
