There's no stopping Deadpool & Wolverine at the box office because the latest numbers are in and the Marvel Studios threequel has just broken yet another record.
With an estimated $25.3 million yesterday (a +4% increase from Monday), the movie scored the highest Tuesday ever for an R-Rated movie, demolishing the previous record set by DC's Joker in 2019 ($13.9 million).
With the eighth biggest Tuesday in North American box office history, it's topped Avengers: Infinity War and now sits $261.1 million domestic. It will top the entire U.S. runs of Deadpool 2 ($324.6 million) and Joker ($335.5 million) on Friday and, once it passes Deadpool ($363.7 million) on Saturday, Deadpool & Wolverine will become the highest-grossing R-Rated comic book movie ever in just over a week.
Then, by Sunday, it will become the highest-grossing R-Rated movie ever with $400+ million on Sunday.
"Disney probably doesn’t want me to frame it this way, but I’ve always thought of Deadpool & Wolverine as the first four-quadrant, R-rated film," Ryan Reynolds recently said of the movie's unprecedented box office success. "Yes, it’s rated R, but we set out to make a movie with enough laughs, action and heart to appeal to everyone, whether you’re a comic book movie fan or not."
Two new posters for Deadpool & Wolverine have also been released which you can take a closer look at below.
In our review Deadpool & Wolverine last week - which you can read by clicking here - we concluded by saying, "A contender for the best superhero movie ever, Deadpool & Wolverine is two hours of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman proving they were born to play these roles and, crucially, be part of the MCU. It’s a f***ing masterpiece."
