Blake Lively Beats Ryan Reynolds to Finally Dethrone ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ from the Box Office Throne this Weekend?

As a long-time fan who has followed the cinematic journeys of both Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds, I must admit, this box office face-off between Deadpool & Wolverine and It Ends with Us is nothing short of exhilarating!


As a die-hard fan, I’ve been eagerly waiting for the release of the year’s most thrilling cinematic spectacle: the epic team-up of Deadpool and Wolverine! Starring the legendary Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and the charismatic Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, this film has taken the world by storm. Just two weeks into its run, it’s shattering box office records with a staggering global total of $903.3 million, surpassing the $900 million mark. By the end of this weekend, we can expect it to cross the billion-dollar milestone, thanks to domestic earnings of $431 million and overseas earnings of $472.3 million. This is one blockbuster you don’t want to miss!

The movie has moved up to be the ninth highest-earning MCU film in the U.S., surpassing Captain Marvel, and it’s now ranked third among R-rated releases worldwide, outdoing Deadpool 2. Moreover, its earnings exceed the combined total of Deadpool and Deadpool 2 in all markets. However, a formidable competitor appears to be emerging for this movie!

Specifically, “It Ends with Us,” starring Blake Lively, the spouse of Ryan Reynolds, made its debut in cinemas this week. Many experts predict that this film, adapted from a popular book by Colleen Hoover, could unseat “Deadpool & Wolverine” after over two weeks as the box office leader.

To clarify, multiple reports indicate that Sony’s latest drama movie garnered an impressive $24 million, with a whopping $11 million earned during previews on Friday alone. This is substantially higher than the $15.7 million that Deadpool & Wolverine made on their third Friday. Now, let’s see how it fares over the weekend.

It’s expected that Deadpool & Wolverine will continue to dominate the box office this weekend, earning somewhere between $50 million and $56 million. This could help the movie surpass the $1 billion mark during this timeframe. Meanwhile, predictions for It Ends with Us are not too different from these figures.

The analysts’ predictions for the movie’s earnings vary between $47 million and $50 million, while Sony insiders propose figures closer to $45 million to $49 million. These estimates are quite close to those of Deadpool, but the question remains: will it be enough? This upcoming film is likely to have a tight race at the box office, and we can only hope that the cinema industry comes out on top, regardless of the precise earnings!
