17 august 2024 в 00:37
Marvel Studios and Disney’s film «Deadpool and Wolverine» has become the highest-grossing R-rated film in the history of the American box office.
The film earned $ 1.086 billion worldwide — $ 516.8 million in domestic box office and $ 568.8 million in international markets — in just 23 days. This success gave Disney two consecutive films with revenues exceeding $ 1 billion, following Pixar Animation Studios' «Inside Out», - which earned $ 1.46 billion worldwide. Disney is the only studio to ever achieve such a result within one year.
Directed by Sean Levy, the film stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. «Deadpool and Wolverine» became the first superhero film to surpass the $ 1 billion mark since «Spider-Man: No Way Home» from Sony and Marvel two and a half years ago, and the first Marvel/Disney MCU film to reach the $ 1 billion mark since «Avengers: Endgame» in 2019.
«Deadpool and Wolverine» has broken record after record since its release at the end of July, securing victories for all involved. According to box office data, it opened with a revenue of $ 444 million worldwide, setting a record for the highest-grossing global opening for an R-rated film, surpassing the original «Deadpool» in 2016.
Although «Logan» had a fantastic box office, «Deadpool and Wolverine» quickly surpassed it, as well as its two predecessors. It became the highest-grossing opening in the careers of Jackman, Reynolds, and Levy.
«Joker», - starring Joaquin Phoenix, earned $ 1.079 billion worldwide in 2019. By August, «Deadpool and Wolverine» had surpassed the 20-year record of Mel Gibson’s «The Passion of the Christ», - becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film in the history of the American box office with over $ 378 million in ticket sales.
In a post on the Marvel Studios X account, studio head Kevin Feige thanked fans with a heartfelt note, writing: «It's fantastic to see that audiences love this film as much as we loved making it. All those conversations were worth it!»
Attached to the thank you note is a letter from Feige to Reynolds and Levy, detailing which drug terms will not be allowed in the film — something that Deadpool, known as Wade Wilson, humorously references in the film.
«Cocaine — that’s the only thing Feige said is off-limits», - Wade jokes to his roommate Blind Al. «They know all the slang terms; they have a list»
