News culture This billionaire film has 20 million views in less than a week on Disney+, but not in France

He was one of the biggest hits in the film industry. Deadpool & Wolverine, released on July 24, grossed no less than $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office. A mind-blowing figure that far exceeds the other two opuses in the license. Deadpool et Deadpool 2 both generated almost $800 million in revenue. This can be explained in particular by higher expectations from fans. Between the first two parts, they had to wait 2 years while the waiting time for 3 installments exceeded 5 years. It is also the second highest-grossing feature film of 2024 behind the Pixar Vice-Versa 2which grossed $652.9 million and $1.69 billion worldwide.

Record on Disney+

After the resounding success on the big screens, the feature film was now released on November 12 worldwide on the SVOD platform, Disney+. And even if you will have to wait at least until the end of December 2025 to be able to discover it in France, the film with Ryan Reynold is a hit. From November 12 to 18, the third part of the saga recorded 19.4 million views and became the most watched “R-Rated” film on Disney+ and HULU since Black Panther: Wakanda Forever in 2023. An observation which can be explained in particular by the presence of a rather exceptional casting.

We left Wolverine earlier in bad shape after the release of the film Logan. We didn’t think we would see Hugh Jackman again, but that was without counting on Ryan Reynolds, aka Deadpool, who co-wrote and produced the film. It was his idea to bring back the Australian actor. Fans quickly agreed with this decision, especially since the film’s communication was essentially based on Wolverine’s return to the cinema. Almost two years before the official release, Ryan Reynolds posted photos from the shoot to keep his subscribers waiting. We can say that the marketing technique worked very well with more than a billion dollars at the worldwide box office.

Disney+ plus available via Canal?

To watch Disney+ content, many people used Mycanal because the SVOD platform was included in certain subscriptions. But from January 1, 2025, this will no longer be the case. “From January 1, 2025, Canal Plus customers will no longer be able to watch our new films, nor access Disney+, nor our television channels via their subscription.”, she announced in a press release on November 4. You will therefore need to take out a subscription directly on the platform application to access it. But be careful, you will have to wait until December 2025 or use a VPN to have access to Deadpool & Wolverine.
