Another day, another box office record for Marvel Studios/Disney’s Deadpool & Wolverine. On Wednesday, the Shawn Levy-directed movie set the record for an R-rated movie, making $19.3M. That’s miles ahead of the previous champ Joker, which made $9.6M on October 9, 2019.

The domestic total stands at $280.4M. As we told you, Deadpool & Wolverine is bound to pass The Passion of Christ ($370.7M) by EOD Sunday as the highest grossing R-rated movie ever with a running cume of $380M.

The Merc with the Mouth and Wolvie raked in $25.4M at the foreign box office and global of $44.7M Wednesday, taking their international cume to $310.1M and worldwide to $590.5M. That amount of global cash puts Deadpool & Wolverine as the fourth-biggest movie of 2024 after eight days of release, outstripping the likes of DreamWorks Animation/Universal’s Kung Fu Panda 4 ($546M) and Legendary/Warner Bros’ Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire ($568M).

Current top territories for Deadpool & Wolverine by running cume are China ($33.2M), UK ($30.2M), Mexico ($25M), Australia ($16.3M), Brazil ($12.8M), France ($12.4M), Germany ($12.4M), India ($12.2M), Spain ($10.7M), Italy ($10.3M), Korea ($10M) and Argentina ($7.1M).

At the U.S./Canada box office this weekend, the expectation is that Deadpool & Wolverine will ease by 60% for a $84M+ second weekend, but given the pic’s momentum, it wouldn’t be out of the question if it makes $100M+.

Currently at the domestic B.O. for the January 1-July 31 period, Disney/20th Century Studios leads all motion picture studios with $1.07 billion, ahead of Universal’s $997.4M, per ComScore
