Deadpool & Wolverine’s Box Office Just Bulldozed One Of Captain America’s Biggest Milestones

Deadpool & Wolverine reaches another MCU milestone, leaving popular movies like Captain America: Civil War in the dust. Deadpool & Wolverine has become the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, beating Joker and the two previous Deadpool movies. Deadpool & Wolverine‘s multiple cameos and connections to the MCU multiverse makes it a crossover of sorts, but most of the attention lies on the two titular characters. Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine cemented themselves as A-list characters in Fox’s X-Men franchise, and their MCU introduction proves their superhero journey may only be starting.

On August 23, 2024 — almost one month after its worldwide release — Deadpool & Wolverine surpasses Captain America: Civil War‘s total gross. According to Box Office MojoDeadpool has earned $1.154 billion so far, against Captain America: Civil War‘s $1.153 billion. While a 2020 re-release added around $1.750 million to Captain America: Civil WarDeadpool is set to surpass this number almost immediately. This landmark is impressive for Deadpool & Wolverine, as its R rating wasn’t an obstacle to matching and outperforming one of the Infinity Saga’s biggest crossovers, which starred most of the Avengers and Spider-Man in his MCU debut.

Deadpool & Wolverinemay not get close to Avengers: Endgame‘s historical $2.799-billion record, but it has definitely exceeded expectations. Besides Captain America: Civil WarDeadpool & Wolverine has already surpassed MCU hits such as Spider-Man: Far From HomeCaptain MarvelDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessSpider-Man: Homecoming, and the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. Deadpool & Wolverineis the eleventh MCU movie to hit the $1 billion mark, and it might be on track to hit the $1.5 billion mark soon.

Deadpool & Wolverine ranks even higher in the MCU’s box office rankings domestically. As of August 23, Deadpool & Wolverine stands at the sixth spot in the MCU’s top 10 domestic hits, with $556.3 million, almost $100 million above Avengers: Age of Ultron and $67 million below The AvengersDeadpool & Wolverine also claims the fourth spot in terms of best opening weekend, with $211.4 million and standing below Avengers: EndgameSpider-Man: No Way Home, and Avengers: Infinity War (via Box Office Mojo)

Deadpool & Wolverine still has plenty of time to climb a few spots in the MCU’s box office rankings, but with a budget of around $200 million, it’s already an undeniable success. Deadpool & Wolverine‘s ending confirms that the titular characters and their allies are available for future MCU stories, meaning that they can bring their popularity along with them for upcoming MCU crossovers such as Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, which will likely rival Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame at the box office.
