Deadpool & Wolverine crosses $1.3 billion at the box office

It's still the seventh biggest Marvel Cinematic Universe film of all-time.

It really did seem like the Marvel Cinematic Universe hype train was over. Following the end of the Infinity Saga, Marvel films were struggling to crack the $1 billion margin that used to be a given, with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Thor: Love and Thunder, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, and The Marvels, among some of those that missed the marker either by a fraction or an absolute mile. Then came Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in Deadpool & Wolverine, a duo that made it clear that the Marvel machine was simply dormant and waiting for a spark.

Because following around two months in cinemas, Deadpool & Wolverine has now surpassed the $1.3 billion marker at the box office, making it the seventh biggest Marvel film to date (behind four Avengers outings, Black Panther, and Spider-Man: No Way Home), the second biggest film of 2024 behind the titan that is Inside Out 2, and the 23rd biggest film of all-time, with potential to further sneak up the rankings with Frozen and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom only $2 million and $6 million ahead of it, respectively.

Since Deadpool & Wolverine has been out for a while now, it is unlikely that it will rake in much more box office revenue, as Disney probably sees the coming Disney+ release as the next big target for the film. As per when this will be, Disney has yet to announce anything, although with June's Inside Out 2 coming to the streamer by the end of the month, we can probably expect July's Marvel epic to aim for an October or a November debut.
