‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Breaks Into the Top 10 Highest-Grossing MCU Movies of All Time

As a cinephile with decades of movie-watching under my belt, I must admit that the recent surge of “Deadpool & Wolverine” has left me quite impressed. The way it’s been climbing the charts and pushing out some real heavyweights like “Captain Marvel” and even approaching the likes of “Captain America: Civil War” is nothing short of astounding.


Many viewers have been eagerly awaiting the movie starring Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, with high expectations labeling it as the must-see film of the year. Now in its fourth week of screenings, this film has smashed numerous box office records and is among the most successful releases of 2021. Having surpassed the $1 billion mark last weekend, it currently ranks as the second highest-grossing movie of the year.

However, although the movie has achieved impressive success on a global annual basis, it also shattered multiple records within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The data clearly supports this, and undeniably, this is fantastic news not just for the Deadpool film franchise but also for enthusiasts of this particular series.

By August 20, 2024, the latest box office figures show that the film “Deadpool & Wolverine” has broken into the top 10 highest-grossing Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films ever made. It’s managed to outshine some longstanding classics on this list and is now just shy of another fan favorite MCU movie.

At the moment this text was written, the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine” has amassed a remarkable total of $1,142,616,895 at the global box office. Out of that grand sum, an impressive $545,816,895 was earned within the U.S., while the remaining $596,800,000 was generated internationally. The film stands as the second highest-grossing movie of 2024, but it won’t surpass “Inside Out 2” in this regard. This is an astounding achievement! However, how does it compare to other Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films? Let us take a look at the Top 10!
