‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Blasting Past $500M Global Box Office Today

Must read

After its massive and record-breaking opening weekend, Marvel/Disney’s Deadpool & Wolverine is quickly on its way across the $500M global box office mark. With Monday’s numbers included, the duo have slashed their way to $496.3M worldwide. When today’s figures are factored in, the Shawn Levy-directed hit will have handily crossed the five-century milestone.

Monday tallied another $26.5M from all overseas markets which was 13% of the debut weekend. This lifts the international box office cume to $260.5M through yesterday. Domestic is at $235.8M.

Yesterday, Disney upped its total from the opening weekend to $444.1M versus the $438.3M estimate that was reported on Sunday. Largely, the difference came from an even bigger domestic performance: The studio’s Sunday estimate was $205M for North America, which increased to $211M when the actuals were calculated on Monday. The offshore launch number dipped by a smidge to $233.1M versus $233.3M.

With Monday’s actuals, the worldwide opening weekend of $444.1M means that D&W bowed higher than Avatar: The Way of Water ($439M in like-for-like markets at current rates), thus owning the highest global opening weekend since Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021.

Either way, D&W scored the biggest R-rated opening of all time domestically, internationally and globally.

The Top 10 offshore markets through Monday are: China ($27.6M), UK ($25M), Mexico ($21.5M), Australia ($14.1M), Brazil ($10.8M), India ($10.6M), Germany ($10.5M), France ($10.3M), Korea ($8.9M) and Italy ($8.5M).
