Not really a surprise. And yet, it's only the second MCU film to achieve this since Avengers: Endgame.
Just a few weeks after the box of Inside Out 2it's a new 9-zero hit for Disney. Deadpool & Wolverine ended the week by crossing the very symbolic (but not only) milestone of one billion dollars in revenue at the global box office.
Concretely, the action comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman has grossed $494.3 million in North America and $535.1 million internationally, for a total of $1.029 billion at the global box office, after just over two weeks of operation.
Deadpool & Wolverine is the 54th film in history to reach the billion mark and it joins the ranking Joker ($1.07 billion in 2019), the only other R-rated film in the United States (not general audience) to cross this shattering threshold.
If we delve into the studio's archives, Deadpool & Wolverine is the 31st Disney film and the 11th in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to reach the billion dollar mark. A hit that is good for the MCU, after the failures of Eternalsof Ant-Man: Quantumania Or The Marvels. From Avengers: Endgame (2019), only the derivative Spider-Man: No Way Home (at Sony) had passed the cut, with $1.9 billion in 2021.
Deadpool & Wolverine still has a little way to go to become the number 1 film of 2024: Inside Out 2 is at 1.6 billion!
In France, the film has passed 2 million admissions.
