Superhero duo Deadpool and Wolverine refuse to give up their spot at the top of the box office chart. The film continued to rake in big bucks two and a half months after hitting theatres. The superhero sequel is expected to earn north of $5 million in weekend 8, pushing it past a massive global milestone. Shawn Levy’s directed film is just $5 million away from reaching the $1.3 billion mark worldwide.
The Merc With The Mouth team-up with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine has become a massive hit for Marvel, performing beyond expectations. The film is the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time and the seventh biggest MCU title. It is also the highest-grossing film of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s careers. Heading into its eighth weekend of release, Deadpool and Wolverine passed the $1.29 billion mark worldwide. It will soon cross the $1.3 billion mark.
According to Forbes, the Marvel superheroes entered the weekend with $1.295 billion worldwide revenue. Deadpool and Wolverine are only $5 million away from the massive $1.3 billion milestone.
The film is projected to earn $5 million at the domestic box office and another $2 million overseas on weekend 8. With $7 million, Deadpool and Wolverine is expected to close business on Sunday, September 15, 2024, with a total of $1.302 billion.
Per the outlet, Deadpool and Wolverine are now on course to end their theatrical run with a $1.32 billion worldwide haul. It is unlikely that the film will beat Black Panther’s $1.374 billion lifetime haul to become the sixth highest-grossing MCU title.
However, Deadpool and Wolverine exceeded expectations and became the second highest-grossing film of 2024, behind Inside Out 2, which earned $1.6 billion worldwide.
