SUNDAY UPDATE, Refresh for latest…: Deadpool & Wolverine continues to govern the global box office, now with an estimated $824.1M through Sunday. The breakdown here is $395.6M domestic and $428.5M at the international box office. On a worldwide basis, D&W has already topped the cumes of Deadpool ($783M) and Deadpool 2 ($786M).
It is the No. 3 R-rated movie of all time, and the 2nd highest global studio release of 2024 to date. Falling in behind Inside Out 2, this has helped push The Walt Disney Studios to become the first studio to cross $3B globally this year.

PREVIOUS: The boys are at it again, with yet another milestone crossed. Including Thursday’s numbers, Deadpool & Wolverine has licked the six-century global box office milestone, now counting $630.4M worldwide. Is it bittersweet that this means D&W has overtaken the lifetime of Hugh Jackman-starrer Logan’s $619M global (likewise an R-rated movie and one which is heavily referenced in D&W)? Probably worth keeping an eye on social for commentary from the stars about that.
With this weekend’s upcoming business, Ryan Reynolds and Jackman are expected to be fronting the second biggest movie of the year worldwide, only behind Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2.
The current breakdown for this Marvel and Disney phenom is $298.4M domestic and $332M from the international box office.
Continuing its record-breaking run, the Shawn Levy-directed mutant mash-up is poised to top The Passion of the Christ by EOD on Sunday to become the biggest R-rated movie ever in North America.
Internationally, D&W has already well surpassed that 2004 Mel Gibson blockbuster. The overall overseas record is still a ways away, though the film could enter the Top 5 this weekend.
For the record, Thursday’s overseas D&W gross was $21.9M (11% of the opening weekend). The Top 10 markets through Thursday are: China ($35.6M), UK ($32.6M), Mexico ($26.4M), Australia ($17.3M), Germany ($13.5M), Brazil ($13.5M), France ($13.4M), India ($12.9M), Spain ($11.7M) and Italy ($10.9M).
We’ll have more updates throughout the weekend.
