Deadpool & Wolverine is the only MCU film to be released in theaters this year. Expected this summer in cinemas around the world, this third part of the adventures of the big-mouthed Mercenary played by Ryan Reynolds could well achieve this incredible feat at the US box office according to a specialist site.
Deadpool & Wolverine ready to explode the US box office
In six weeks now, the public will be able to find Ryan Reynolds back in the Deadpool costume alongside Hugh Jackman who will bring out Wolverine’s claws for the occasion. Directed by Shawn Levy, Deadpool’s third installment will be part of the MCU. It will also be the one and only Marvel Studios film to be released in theaters this year.
If we believe the site The Quorumspecialized in analyzing box office trends, Deadpool & Wolverine could make a huge debut at the US box office. This leader in the field has just shared its estimates more than a month before the release of Ryan Reynolds’ film. These estimates will then be refined two weeks after its opening, which will provide a more accurate picture of the opening weekend box office. So, according to The Quorum, Deadpool & Wolverine could well generate $200 million to $239 million at the domestic opening box office (box office only on US soil without considering international figures).
For comparison, it is almost the same score as for Spider-Man: No Way Home released in 2021. As a reminder, Avengers: Endgame had opened to $357 million and Infinity War at $257 million. If the estimates will be confirmed, Deadpool 3 would do better than barbie ($162 million), Super Mario Bros. (146 million) or even Top Gun: Maverick (126 million), Black Panther: Wakanda (181 million) and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (187 million).
Deadpool & Wolverine: a record for a Rated-R film
note that even if the film doesn’t reach that score and “only” makes $150 million, it would set a box office record for a Rated-R filmthe first in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Deadpool & Wolverine would also do much better than the first episode which generated $132.4 million in 2016.
It is a safe bet that Deadpool & Wolverine manages to achieve this feat because the film brings together popular characters, it also promises exceptional cameos and the production marks the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine to the cinema. Brief, Marvel Studios hopes to make up for it with Deadpool 3. To find out if it will be a success, go to the cinema on July 24.
