news ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Surpasses ‘Barbie’ in U.S. Box Office, Still Trails Globally

[Movie Info]

Deadpool & Wolverine just climbed another rung in the U.S. box office, surpassing Barbie to claim the No. 12 spot among the highest-grossing domestic films ever (unadjusted for inflation). Marvel’s R-rated hit earned $679,000 this weekend, bringing its U.S. total to $636.3 million. Barbie now sits just behind it with $636.2 million.

Globally, though, Barbie still leads. The Greta Gerwig-directed film holds a worldwide gross of $1.446 billion, making it the 15th top-grossing movie of all time. Meanwhile, Deadpool & Wolverine has made $1.336 billion worldwide, taking the crown as the highest-grossing R-rated film ever.

The Deadpool threequel has broken several records since its release, including the biggest R-rated opening weekend with $211 million. It’s now the seventh-highest-grossing film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe globally, and fifth domestically among 31 MCU releases. It’s also the second-biggest film of 2024, trailing only Inside Out 2, which has grossed $652.9 million domestically and $1.694 billion globally.

The extended theater run helped push Deadpool & Wolverine past Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Last Jedi, landing it a spot in the all-time top 20 domestically. With just weeks left in theaters, it remains a box office juggernaut.

I’m not surprised that Deadpool & Wolverine is really selling good. Even in the United States, it earned more than Barbie. But Barbie is still leading across the globe. This illustrate that people like different films in different locations. Perhaps some countries preferred the story of Barbie better.

Deadpool & Wolverine became a success because it was directed by Greta Gerwig who made a movie everybody can enjoy. I remembered he said : It’s cool to see different movies doing well, showing what people like. That's probably his secret. Making films that people like sound like a good idea.
