As a die-hard fan of superhero films who has witnessed the cinematic journey of these beloved characters unfold over the years, I must say that the box office success story of Deadpool & Wolverine is nothing short of extraordinary! The movie’s domestically earned fifth position on the list of highest grossing superhero movies and comic book films of all time is a testament to the sheer brilliance of Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Shawn Levy, and their team.
2024 saw the massive success of Deadpool & Wolverine at the box office, and I’ve got to say, it was one for the records! When it hit theaters in July, it nailed down one of the biggest opening weekends for Marvel. Since then, it’s been scaling new financial heights and just added another impressive achievement to its belt – it hasn’t dethroned The Avengers yet as the highest grossing superhero movie, but it’s certainly giving them a run for their money! Ryan Reynolds, ever the charismatic Deadpool, took to social media with the perfect three-word response: “Still not Avengers…
In a recent update, it’s been reported that Deadpool & Wolverine have amassed approximately $623 million within the U.S., with additional earnings added later. This has propelled the movie up the ranks, surpassing The Avengers in terms of domestic box office revenue for superhero films. To be more precise, this R-rated blockbuster now stands as the fifth highest grossing Marvel Studios production in the U.S., and also the fifth highest earning comic book film domestically of all time.
Known for his frequent posts on social media, Ryan Reynolds came across the news at X and felt compelled to express his feelings. True to form, the witty actor didn’t go into detail but managed to find an apt method to celebrate his movie’s recent milestone.
Shawarma for everyone!
Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will recognize that Ryan Reynold’s comment is a reference to the Avengers’ first movie, where they enjoyed shawarma after their battle. In Joss Whedon’s 2012 film, the superheroes gathered in a restaurant after the Battle of New York and had dinner as a group. Since Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Shawn Levy, and their team have produced such remarkable work on D&W, I believe they’ve more than earned a celebratory meal like that too.
The box office receipts for the latest MCU film have been absolutely extraordinary. After dominating for several weeks, Deadpool & Wolverine hit $1 billion worldwide in early August. It’s also since become the highest R-rated movie of all time, beating 2019’s Joker to take that crown. Said milestone drew a response from the director of that DC film, Todd Phillips, who celebrated the success of Marvel’s multiversal road trip movie. Needless to say, this film has made quite the impression.
Although Wade Wilson and Logan’s movie adventure might not surpass those starring Spider-Man, Black Panther, and others in terms of popularity, it’s certain to earn a bit more money as its time in theaters comes to an end. I had faith that the film would do well, but I never imagined it would make such a big impact on the box office. Given all this success, I’m optimistic that Ryan Reynolds and his crew will celebrate with a party – one filled with lots of shawarma!
