Deadpool & Wolverine Surpass Box Office Expectations

Here they go again, Deadpool & Wolverine. They’ve outsmarted another Marvel heavyweight at the box office, Iron Man 3 if you’re asking. Not just that, they’ve snatched the seventh spot in MCU’s top-grossing movies of all time.

Breaking Records, Not Sweating it

Come Tuesday, Deadpool & Wolverine collected an impressive $1,215,929,937 worldwide. Think about it, Iron Man 3 could only muster $1,215,577,205 at the box office. And yes, they’ve zipped past Captain Marvel, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Captain America: Civil War in the grand MCU league.

Always aiming, often hitting

So, who’s the next target? Black Panther, sporting a cool $1.3 billion gross. Yet, hold your horses. Deadpool & Wolverine smashed their record in just the initial 33 release days. Iron Man 3? More than double. We’re talking seventy days people.

Ahead of the curve

Moreover, in the first 33 days, Deadpool & Wolverine raked in $581M at the domestic box office. For perspective, Iron Man 3 concluded its domestic sprint with $409M. Likewise, Avengers: Age of Ultron ended its race at $459M.

The Weekend Charm

Fancy this, Deadpool & Wolverine are likely going to be the box office champs this weekend again. Fifth time’s a charm, isn’t it?
