Los Angeles, CA – The highly anticipated cinematic clash of Deadpool and Wolverine has proven to be a box office juggernaut, shattering records and injecting new life into the summer blockbuster season.
According to studio estimates, “Deadpool & Wolverine” has amassed a staggering $205 million domestically and $438.3 million globally in its opening weekend, dethroning the previous R-rated champion, the original “Deadpool,” which held the record since 2016.
The film’s monumental success has propelled it into the elite ranks of top-grossing opening weekends of all time, securing the eighth spot behind Marvel’s own “The Avengers.” With this achievement, Marvel Studios has solidified its position as the highest-grossing film franchise in history, surpassing a combined $30 billion at the box office.
The film’s arrival comes as a much-needed boost for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has faced criticism for its recent releases. “Deadpool & Wolverine” has not only captivated fans but also rekindled enthusiasm for the franchise as a whole.
Industry experts are optimistic that the film’s success will contribute to a strong summer box office, following a series of hit movies including “Inside Out 2” and “Despicable Me 4.”
As the film continues its theatrical run, it will be interesting to see if it can maintain its momentum and potentially climb even higher on the all-time box office charts.
