Box Office: ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Enjoying Marvel-ous Second Weekend With Record-Making $94M-Plus

As a seasoned gamer who’s spent countless hours immersed in the Marvel universe, I can’t help but feel like I’ve just leveled up to another dimension! The box office success of “Deadpool & Wolverine” is nothing short of extraordinary. It’s breaking records left and right, making Ryan Reynolds’ masked crusader a force to be reckoned with.


Deadpool & Wolverine continues to break records and shows no signs of slowing, even setting some of the largest second weekend totals ever seen in cinema history.

As a dedicated Marvel fan, I’m thrilled to share that our beloved movie, released by Marvel Studios and Disney, raked in an additional $28.3 million on Friday. This puts us on track for a stellar sophomore weekend, with estimates suggesting we could earn between $94 million and $96 million! With these numbers, our 10-day domestic total is expected to surpass $390 million.

By the end of Sunday, the second installment of Deadpool is expected to surpass the combined lifetime grosses of the first two films, both domestically and internationally, in only its second week in cinemas. As of now, the original Deadpool film made $363.1 million domestically and a total of $782.6 million worldwide; the sequel has already earned $734.5 million globally.

As a lifelong fan of comic books and action movies, I must say that this weekend is shaping up to be an exciting one for cinema enthusiasts like myself! The upcoming release of “Deadpool” and “Wolverine” has created quite a buzz among moviegoers, with predictions suggesting that these films will surpass the lifetime runs of their predecessors both domestically and globally in just two weeks.

In a significant milestone for actor Ryan Reynolds, the third installment of Deadpool is expected to surpass Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ as the highest-grossing R-rated film in domestic box office history. This achievement should occur this weekend as the movie’s total earnings reach approximately $390 million, overtaking the $371 million earned by The Passion of the Christ (without inflation adjustments).

The action-packed movie collaboration between Marvel Studios and Disney titled “Deadpool & Wolverine, directed by Shawn Levy and starring Hugh Jackman,” is significantly outperforming other films in the market, although Amblin Entertainment’s “Twisters” is maintaining its ground.

The movie “Twister,” which Universal has been distributing domestically, is projected to earn approximately $22 million in its third weekend, marking a decrease of about 37%. This would bring its domestic total to over $194 million.

M. Night Shyamalan’s movie titled “Trap,” featuring Josh Hartnett, debuted in third position, earning approximately $15.5 million as anticipated. Warner Bros. is handling the distribution for this suspenseful film that’s facing mixed reviews and a C+ CinemaScore.

As a gamer, I’d rephrase that statement like this:

Sony’s latest film adaptation of “Harold and the Purple Crayon,” targeted towards kids, is projected to debut in sixth position due to a disappointing $6 million opening. Despite receiving an A- rating from audiences who attended, critics were not impressed with the movie.

Numbers will be updated Sunday morning.
