The fan frenzy and anticipation is something every movie rides on and there is no way one can survive without it is a fact. But what also is a fact is that not always the buzz translates into box office numbers and that does turn out to be a shocking twist in the tale. One movie that has managed to be an achiever, or an overachiever if we look at it closely, is Deadpool & Wolverine. All of us knew that it was going to be a cinema event when the movie hit the big screen because it was the mutants entering the MCU, Ryan Reynolds making his MCU debut with Hugh Jackman, and the latter reprising Logan after wrapping up his run in 2017. So we were all indeed expecting a very crazy run at the Box office. But none of us expected the rage the film has become.

Deadpool & Wolverine which was released on the big screen on July 26, 2024 worldwide has turned out to be a box office monster (of the good kind) as it is achieving massive milestones throughout its way. The movie that is fueled by exciting cameos has turned out to be a massive success as it managed to break even and turn into a profit venture in the first weekend itself. The movie is the first Marvel Cinematic Universe to have achieved this kind of success after Spider-Man: No Way Home and is even about to surpass its collection. 

In its two weekends at the global box office, Deadpool & Wolverine has managed to break record after record. This week it is said to touch $820 Million as per estimation and there is going to be a task to keep track of all of it. This is where we come in because why not compile them together? Below is a list of all the major records the film has broken so far. The last one is expected to be broken and if it happens, it will be a massive milestone for the movie.

Major Box Office Records Broken By Deadpool & Wolverine

Sixth Biggest Domestic Opening

Deadpool & Wolverine was consistent at breaking records with its very opening itself. The Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman starrer that opened with a collection of $211.4 Million managed to grab the sixth position in the list of all-time openers domestically. The movie sits right above Jurassic World and below Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The top spots on this list are dominated by Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Biggest R-Rated Opening Globally

The fact that Deadpool & Wolverine introduced R-rating to the MCU movies is epic because the success means the studio will now invest more in this. The movie is now the biggest opener in the R-rated category where the first three positions are acquired by it and its two predecessors. Deadpool is in the second position and Deadpool 2 on third. Joker holds the fifth position and Logan is on eighth.

Defeats Logan

Well, we love this defeat actually because is it even a defeat. But the wordplay. Logan had earned $619 Million at the global box office in its lifetime. And as you might have already observed, Deadpool & Wolverine has already surpassed its lifetime in the span of days. It is crazy because Logan almost marked the end of the Fox franchise and Deadpool & Wolverine marks the opening of a new avenue.

Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman & Shawn Levy Win

While the movie has done wonders for the makers and the franchise in total, it has also turned out to be a massive success for Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy. As per data Deadpool & Wolverine has become the top opening film of the career for all three.

Gearing To Leave Joker Behind

Now this is a tall order and still a bit far, but the fact that we are at over $800 million already makes this look possible. As per reports in Forbes, Deadpool & Wolverine is estimated to earn $1.08 Billion in the lifetime collection. This means it will manage to beat Joaquin Phoenix’s 2019 DC Elseworlds release Joker which right now stands on a collection of $1.0789 billion. This will be a big milestone for the movie and MCU as a whole.
