Deadpool & Wolverine Shatter Box Office with $1 Billion Global Haul
In a seismic shake-up of the box office, Deadpool & Wolverine has continued its rampage through theaters, amassing a staggering $1 billion globally. The film, with its R-rated flair, has become a powerhouse, dominating the premium iMax format with a remarkable $78 million in global earnings. This achievement cements its place as a monumental success in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Dominating the Box Office with Style
As Deadpool & Wolverine strides into its third weekend, the film shows no signs of slowing down. With a sassy attitude and relentless momentum, it pulled in $7.1 million from iMax screens alone, pushing the iMax worldwide total to an impressive $78 million. To put that in perspective, this makes it the sixth best global result for an MCU title in iMax history. American fans contributed $3.8 million to the weekend’s total, bringing the domestic iMax earnings to $41.3 million.
Looking ahead, Deadpool & Wolverine has its sights set on a lofty goal: unseating Joker as the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. With audiences packing iMax theaters in droves, this goal seems tantalizingly within reach.
Other Films in the iMax Spotlight
While Deadpool & Wolverine reigns supreme, other films have also made their mark in enhanced viewing formats. In China, White Snake: Afloat opened with $1.7 million in iMax box office revenue, including earnings from early previews. Meanwhile, Lionsgate’s Borderlands earned $1 million from iMax screenings during its opening weekend—a notable achievement despite a less than stellar overall performance.
As the cinematic landscape continues to evolve, the iMax network is gearing up for the worldwide launch of Alien: Romulus, the latest installment in the iconic Alien series. This highly anticipated film will premiere on 1,542 iMax screens across 80 countries, including major markets like China and North America. Japan’s 52 iMax screens will debut The Fall Guy, while South Korea’s 24 screens will introduce audiences to Twisters.
The iMax Circuit: A Thrill Ride Ahead
As Deadpool & Wolverine continues to dominate the box office, the iMax circuit remains the go-to destination for moviegoers seeking an unparalleled viewing experience. With more blockbusters set to hit the big (and we mean really big) screen, the thrills are just beginning. So, pack some popcorn, settle into your seat, and brace yourself for more updates as Deadpool & Wolverine continues its theatrical run. Comic relief and superhero landings are much appreciated.
