Deadpool & Wolverine Officially Surpasses Logan’s Lifetime Box Office Haul

As a lifelong Marvel fan who has followed the adventures of Wolverine and Deadpool since their comic book days, I must say that this latest cinematic collaboration between these two iconic characters is nothing short of exhilarating! The box office success of “Deadpool & Wolverine” has been simply phenomenal, surpassing even the mighty Logan in record time. It’s like watching a superhero power-up right before our very eyes!


Over the weekend, the Marvel Studios film starring Deadpool and Wolverine hit theaters, shattering records for R-rated movies. This week, it outpaced Joker to become the highest R-rated earner on a Tuesday or Wednesday. As of yesterday, its domestic box office total surpassed Logan’s, and it has now exceeded the latter’s entire worldwide gross from its entire run. In just one week in theaters, Deadpool and Wolverine have earned $630.4 million globally, outperforming Logan’s final earnings of $619 million.

It’s intriguing how rapidly the team-up of Deadpool and Wolverine outshone Logan in terms of popularity, given that Hugh Jackman’s return as Wolverine is a major pull for viewers. Some had assumed that Logan would be his final performance, but the creators of Deadpool & Wolverine managed to convincingly bring back the character. Critics and audiences alike seem to prefer Deadpool & Wolverine at the moment, with a 78% critics score and a whopping 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, compared to Logan’s impressive 93% critics score and 90% audience score.

The sequel of Deadpool and Wolverine is poised to claim the title for the highest-grossing R-rated movie domestically, surpassing Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ as the current domestic champion in this category. Internationally, the Deadpool sequel has already outperformed The Passion of the Christ from 2004. However, in terms of worldwide R-rated earnings, Deadpool and Wolverine are yet to surpass Joker, which dethroned the first Deadpool in 2019. Joker garnered over $1 billion at the global box office, so we’ll have to wait and see if Deadpool and Wolverine can outperform it.

Will Deadpool & Wolverine Become the Highest-Grossing Movie of 2024?

The film starring Deadpool and Wolverine is currently dominating the box office, but it still needs to earn more to surpass the top-grossing movie of this year.

The second installment of “Inside Out” has been a substantial success for Pixar Animation Studios, surpassing $1 billion at the box office in just its third weekend. It didn’t take long for this sequel to overtake “Frozen 2,” making it the highest-grossing animated film of all time. This week, it achieved its most significant milestone yet by breaking into the top ten highest-grossing films of all time.
