DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE Hits Another Major Box Office Milestone As BEETLEJUICE Sees Off SPEAK NO EVIL

As it approaches its eighth week on release, Deadpool and Wolverine is still packing out theaters, and has now hit another major milestone at the box office...

Deadpool and Wolverine has now entered its eighth week in theaters, and is still performing very well despite losing the No. 1 spot to Beetlejuice Beetlejuice last Friday.

Marvel Studios' first R-rated movie took in an estimated $5.5 million this weekend, bringing its running domestic total past the $620 million mark. If it manages to hit $623 million, it will pass the first Avengers movie to become the fifth highest-grossing superhero film of all time in the U.S.

Globally, DP&W has reached a whopping $1.3 billion. Can it claw its way past Black Panther’s $1.33 billion haul? We wouldn't bet against it!

As for Tim Burton's long-awaited comedy horror sequel, it retained the top spot despite a strong showing from Speak No Evil. The Ghost with the Most's second big-screen outing debuted to a very impressive $111 million to give it the second-best September opening of all time, and its running domestic total has now passed the $185 million mark.

The American remake of disturbing Danish film, Speak No Evil, grossed an estimated $11.5 million this weekend, with a strong marketing campaign and stellar reviews (85% on Rotten Tomatoes) taking it to #2 at the domestic box office.

Alien: Romulus has also continued a very successful run, and has now grossed an estimated $330.7 million worldwide after five weekends on general release.

You can check out our review of Deadpool and Wolverine here.

The MPAA gave the movie an official R-rating for: "Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references."

“Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date - Deadpool & Wolverine," reads the new synopsis. "A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to - F*ck. Synopses are so f*cking stupid.”

In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the title roles, Deadpool and Wolverine will see Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), who will play a TV agent and Charles Xavier's evil counterpart, Cassandra Nova.

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool and Wolverine from a script by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.

Somewhere, somehow, worcestershire is trying to convince himself that the movie is a failure for not reaching 3 billion.

I miss this type of trolling.

@DrReedRichards - he's one of many trolls I forgot existed. It's been peaceful around here. Blocking origame did wonders for me!

@Vigor -

Nah, I don't block people; or even trolls. It feels much better to see who blocks me instead, in my experience usually after they grow tired of having their trolling fail time and time again after I call them out.

Not saying you're wrong for blocking, btw. Just offering my 2 cents.
Vigor
Vigor - 9/15/2024, 4:14 PM
@DrReedRichards - I used to be like that. Never blocking anyone. But then I noticed I was logging in just to see what bullshit of his I needed to retort. And that didn't seem healthy lol. So I blocked him to save myself

@Vigor -

Nah, I don't report users either, lol. Mostly because I've pissed off enough of the editors and mods here to know that my reports end up in deleting whole threads rather than banning those (ir)responsible trolls, but the point is I no longer do. I've seen enough to know that those running the site have their favourites, and I'm by no means one of them.

Now, do I bait those whom I notice are already trolling into a false sense of security that makes them continue to troll in order to out themselves as even more trollish than they already are? I can neither confirm nor deny, officer.

@DrReedRichards - haha no I didn't say report. I said RETORT!

I do report outright racists. The nazi toting, "n" word slinging kind. Those users simply need to be deleted. I don't reply to them. I don't engage. I just report.

@DrReedRichards - I got ya bro: "Something something movie will flop something something the MCU is over something something reboot! something something never going to cross $800 million". There, that should pretty much cover it. Feel better now? Oh! And "You're s stupid poopy head for... some reason". There, now we've covered all the bases. 😉

Still can't believe DP&W outkicked Joker and was a huge success - the review bombing anti wokers must have saved all their Marvels money and bought extra tickets.

Next Up: Joker 2 shits the bed while Agatha dies in silence.

@Batmangina - For what it is worth, I just did the calculation, and Joker still made more at this point if you adjust for inflation. But it is only about 100K ahead, so DP&W will probably still dethrone it when all is said and done.

@grif - It was cool to see him in comic book costume but yeah some of the shots of his mask were a bit dodgy.

@SATW42 - no i like the deadpool movies. but this one looks too out there for me.

@grif - A lot of people are addicted to the idea that the look that a character has in print HAS to be the way it is done in live action. The problem with that is that; 1) most of the audience for these movies have never read a comic book and could care less about how it was done in them. 2) costumes appeal to the 10-12 year old in us and most people older than that think they want to leave that childishness behind. 3) some of the physical looks like the squatty body comic book version of Wolverine are a major turn-off when done in live action.

D&W will beat Avengers on thursday or friday, Barbie will be it's endboss.

Globally Frozen will fall at the same time.

Black Panther stands at $1.35 billion and is out of range.

Beetlejuice 2 is the new Twisters: doing great in North America, but not so great in the rest of the world.

SATW42 - 9/16/2024, 9:25 AM
@Moriakum - just listened to podcast where a woman saw it while she was over in London and said the theatre was silent. BeetleJuice is definitely much more of a US phenomenon/icon than a worldwide one. Id be surprised if WB went into this movie thinking they had a global franchise on their hands.

Shivermetimbers - 9/16/2024, 6:33 PM
@SATW42 - It was silent when I saw it in the states too. The comedy really missed in this one. I wanted to like it, but it was just unfunny for the most part. There were a few bits I liked but was a little disappointed.
JDL
JDL - 9/17/2024, 5:10 AM
@Moriakum - Given that; 1) the original did very little overseas. 2) the movie made more sense if you had seen the first one, and 3) humor often does not travel well. it's not all that surprising.

@Shivermetimbers - my theatre was laughing the whole time and it was a Sunday afternoon 🤷‍♂️

@SATW42 - that’s encouraging. My wife and daughter loved it.
