Deadpool & Wolverine Shatters Box Office Records

Marvel's 'Deadpool & Wolverine,' directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, has shattered box office records since its opening weekend, grossing nearly $550 million globally. It now holds the record for the highest R-rated opening of all time and is projected to surpass $1 billion by its third weekend. The film's success is reflected across various markets, including India and the UK, where it has become the biggest release for cinema chains like Odeon and Cinemark. Despite facing some competition from films like M. Night Shyamalan’s 'Trap,' 'Deadpool & Wolverine' remains the dominant force at the box office. The film's inclusion of numerous cameos from past Marvel characters and its connection to the larger MCU through the multiverse have contributed to its widespread appeal and critical acclaim.
