‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Hits $824 Million Globally, Pushing Disney Past $3 Billion in 2024

“Deadpool & Wolverine” remains a box office force with $824 million globally after two weekends of release.

The comic book sequel, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as their antihero alter egos, has already surpassed the entire theatrical runs of 2016’s “Deadpool” ($783 million) and 2018’s “Deadpool 2” ($786 million). “Deadpool & Wolverine” is now the second-highest grossing movie of 2024 behind “Inside Out 2” ($1.555 billion) and the third-biggest R-rated movie in history after “Joker” ($1.07 billion) and “Oppenheimer” ($975 million). It’s expected to cross the $1 billion mark in a matter of days.

After this weekend, Disney became the first studio of 2024 to surpass $3 billion in worldwide ticket sales. And the Magic Kingdom managed to hit that milestone with only four nationwide releases, including “Deadpool & Wolverine,” “Inside Out 2,” “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” ($397 million) and “The First Omen” ($53 million). Disney will attempt to keep the momentum with “Alien: Romulus” (Aug. 16), “Moana 2” (Nov. 27) and “Mufasa: The Lion King” (Dec. 20).
