Everything pointed to Deadpool and Wolverine being a success on the big screen, but perhaps Marvel did not expect the incredible figures revealed during its first weekend. According to the most recent box office reports, the superhero film has become the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history in its first days in theaters.
In terms of numbers, the production has obtained a total of $438.3 million worldwide, an impressive figure of which almost half has been in the United States ($205 million). In this sense, the film starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman has reached the eighth position as the best Hollywood premiere.
If all these figures are not impressive enough, only nine movies in Hollywood history have surpassed the $200 million mark during their early stages. And yes, Deadpool and Wolverine are among them.
As a final detail, the film has cost around 200 million dollars, while its marketing budget was around 100 million dollars. Considering the figures achieved, Disney must be very happy.
