Disney’s Success
Disney, the powerhouse behind Deadpool & Wolverine, continues to dominate the box office with its second billion-dollar release this year after Inside Out 2. The studio’s ability to consistently deliver back-to-back $1 billion hits is unprecedented in the industry. With 31 titles surpassing the $1 billion mark, Disney’s dominance in the global box office remains unparalleled.
Despite facing tough competition, Deadpool & Wolverine maintained its position as the top non-local film in key markets such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, and Mexico. The film’s strong hold in these territories contributed to its impressive weekend gross of $57.8 million, with a modest drop of only 48%.
Some of the top-performing markets for Deadpool & Wolverine to date include China ($54.8 million), the UK ($54.4 million), Mexico ($38.2 million), Australia ($31.3 million), and Germany ($25.5 million). These numbers reflect the movie’s widespread appeal and continued success on the global stage.
Deadpool & Wolverine’s achievement of surpassing the $1 billion milestone speaks to the film’s undeniable popularity and cultural impact. As it continues to dominate the box office and break records, it cements its status as a modern-day blockbuster that resonates with audiences worldwide.
