DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Will Pass $600 Million Today; Ryan Reynolds Responds To Jamie Lee Curtis' Apology

Deadpool & Wolverine earned $19.3 million in North America on Wednesday, smashing yet another record previously set by Joker in 2019 (during its first Wednesday in theaters, the DC Comics adaptation made a mere $9.6 million). 

That's taken the threequel's domestic total to a whopping $280.4 million and, as we first reported earlier this week, it will sail past The Passion of the Christ's lifetime haul of $370.7 million by the end of Sunday to become the highest-grossing R-Rated movie ever with over $380 million. 

Overseas, Deadpool & Wolverine clawed up an impressive $25.4 million to take its international cume to $310.1 million. Now, it sits at $590.5 million and will pass $600 million later today. 

As a result, it's become the fourth highest-grossing movie of 2024 worldwide after less than a week. So much for superhero fatigue, eh?

In related news, Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy has shared some new behind-the-scenes images from the movie highlighting that memorable opening sequence and the villainous Cassandra Nova.

Ryan Reynolds has also responded to Jamie Lee Curtis' recent apology after she said the MCU was in its "Bad" Phase. Why? Well, it's not like Deadpool & Wolverine held back when it came to poking fun at the Multiverse Saga...

Finally, Marvel Studios has released a new featurette focusing on the movie's score.

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."

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool & Wolverine, which stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, Matthew Macfadyen, and Dafne Keen. The movie is written by Ryan Reynolds & Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick & Zeb Wells & Shawn Levy.

Kevin Feige, Reynolds, Levy and Lauren Shuler Donner produce with Louis D’Esposito, Wendy Jacobson, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, George Dewey, Simon Kinberg and Jonathon Komack Martin serving as executive producers.

Deadpool & Wolverine is now playing in theaters.

@Vigor - no disrespect to Ryan, but there should only be one voice of the MCU:

@MyCoolYoung - they should just cast him as a Doom variant. But one that's just telling stories to a bunch of kids around a camppfire in the Latverian mountains

@Vigor - marvel doesn't need a single "voice". Its an ensemble for a reason.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - Besides DP and Wolverine I think No Way Home is one of my favorites of the new MCU movies. I don’t mind fan service when done right, and these two movies did that. Shang Chi was also pretty awesome.

She just apologized for the internet style trash talking, not her opinion. More power to her.

@Itwasme - Exactly. If anything it was potential damage control with Borderlands coming out as in this world it could affect the box office. It's an interesting world these days.

Cassandra was so cool in this. Hope she isnt dead

@TheRogue - to be honest, I don’t remeber what happens to her at the end of the movie. Did she just disintegrate?
TheRogue
TheRogue - 8/1/2024, 2:53 PM
@thewanderer - Its just a bright light. She has the same powers as logan and wafe, so maybe she could have made it.

@TheRogue - I mean, for one thing there is the Variant clause, but in the source her character was conceived sans a body and built her own using her bro's DNA in vitro. Was still born but her mind survived thus able to rebuild her body too so technicaly even if her entire body was destroyed there are ways that would be close to source how she could return (or the whole taking over the mind of someone who looks identical).

@TheRogue - Maybe she became the Molecule Woman.

She was psychically linked to the Time Ripper machine at the time, a machine that blows up universes like the Molecule Man does in Time Runs Out. She was connected to the multiverse as well I think, because she wanted to continue to destroy every universe from there.

Maybe she'll become The Beyonder.
TheRogue
TheRogue - 8/2/2024, 10:40 AM
@ObserverIO - Its not bad idea. Might be hard to explain to a lot of people though. I dont think we will see her again

Actually dug the score, perfect for most scenes, especially when the Resistance shows up, got me pumped!

Also, forget post-Endgame, even pre-Endgame was far from perfect.
Itwasme
Itwasme - 8/1/2024, 7:00 PM
@Doomsday8888 - agreed about pre-endgame. It took a while for the Infinity saga to really gain traction. It was teased in the first Avengers and then just referenced in some post credit scenes until near the end.

But to be fair, the expectations on what a shared universe are always going to be elevated exponentially and so for round 2 your execution has to be flawless out of the gate. This has been inconsistent.

Though, how many films really have hit the multiverse? Dr Strange, NWH, Ant-Man 3, Loki, WandaVision, and now Deadpool. Am I missing any? Overall these films have probably been better than the others.

@Itwasme - Endgame, they have multiple expositions about how it’s universe hopping and not time travel
Itwasme
Itwasme - 8/1/2024, 8:31 PM
@Havenless - 100%... I wasn't thinking of it because of it being the previous series. So that's another winner to add to the list imo.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 8/2/2024, 7:39 AM
@Itwasme - Not sure if I'd count Ant Man 3 any more than Ant Man 1 & 2. Quantum Realm is technically another dimension, but not necessarily multiverse, since it's just the smallest microscopic level of reality.

Also Ant Man 3 was not the best.

The others were all high points though.
Itwasme
Itwasme - 8/2/2024, 8:42 AM
@ObserverIO - yeah i was thinking that, but since Kang is the big bad I thought it probably should be there.

You're right it wasn't good, but my point still stands that overall the multi-verse projects have been some of the best recieved in these phases - Ant-Man being the exception.

So when you hear people complain about multi-verse storytelling I kind of scratch my head.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 8/2/2024, 8:57 AM
@Itwasme - I do too. They've been the most successful so far, both critically and commercially.

MCU Post Endgame has had some duds but let's not pretend like The Infinity Saga was all gems. Thor The Dark World, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Ant-Man & The Wasp, just to name a few. Each saga has had its weak entries but they pay off in the end. Trust the process.

@SonOfAGif - phase 4 and 5 are just as good as phases 1 and 2 were.
asherman93
asherman93 - 8/1/2024, 2:55 PM
@SonOfAGif - Frankly, the only films I'd call duds out of the franchise are Iron Man 2, Thor: Ragnarok, Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 1, and (if you squint) Black Widow and Eternals.

And those last two were still decent - most of the MCU has ranged from average at worst, to absolutely spectacular.

@SonOfAGif - To this date I still haven't watched Thor TDW. Thor on his own is not good. Iron Man franchise went downhill after one movie

MyCoolYoung - 8/1/2024, 4:32 PM
@SonOfAGif - chill on iron man 3 lol
Radders
Radders - 8/2/2024, 2:44 AM
@SonOfAGif - Nah, the proportion of bad to good is way worse in Ph 4 & 5 Even the ones people consider bad in Ph 1-3 I'd watch any day above the worst of 4 & 5. In fact the only PH 4 & 5 films I've watched again are Spiderman No Way Home and Doctor Strange MoM and the latter isn't that good either

Eh. I actually think Nicepool was onto something when he said its been "steadily great since Endgame".
