‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Closing In On $900M Global Box Office; Will Have $1B Licked At Weekend
deadline.comDeadpool & Wolverine is nearing the $900 million global box office mark as it enters its third week of worldwide play. With Tuesday’s grosses included, the current total on the Shawn Levy-directed smash is $879.2M, of which $421M comes from domestic and $458.2M from the international box office.
When today’s figures are tallied, the global total is expected to cross that nine-century milestone. As for the next notch in the Merc with the Mouth’s belt, $1B is expected to hit this weekend.
When that benchmark is crossed, Deadpool & Wolverine will become only the second U.S. R-rated movie ever to get there — after 2019’s Joker — and will overtake Oppenheimer as the second-biggest R-rated title of all time, adding to its list of records.
D&W will reach $1B faster than Joker, though that film did not have a China release. It will also be Disney’s second billion-dollar grosser this year after Inside Out 2, as well as only the second movie of 2024 to the post.
