Deadpool & Wolverine Box Office Set To Break Huge R-Rated Record Previously Held By 2004 Mel Gibson Movie
Summary
Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, Deadpool & Wolverine is projected to claim the No. 1 spot on the domestic box office Top 5 yet again in its second weekend with a 3-day total of $94 million. Combined with its opening week, this will bring its cumulative domestic haul to a record-smashing total of $392.5 million that outgrosses the previous highest-grossing R-rated movie in North America, which was Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. The original Deadpool previously came closest to beating that movie's $370.7 million gross by earning $363 million in domestic theaters.

The Deadpool & Wolverine release breaking this record in week 2 is a substantial accomplishment, and it is only getting started. In fact, early projections show that it could earn as much as half a billion dollars at the domestic box office alone by the end of its run. However, even just ten days after its debut, it has taken a huge lead over many of the highest-grossing domestic R-rated movies. Below, see how it compares to the North American R-rated Top 10:
Rank
Title
Domestic Gross
#1
Deadpool & Wolverine (2024)
~$392.5 million
#2
The Passion of the Christ (2004)
$370.7 million
#3
Deadpool (2016)
$363 million
#4
American Sniper (2014)
$350.1 million
#5
Joker (2019)
$335.4 million
#6
Oppenheimer (2023)
$329.9 million
#7
It (2017)
$328.8 million
#8
Deadpool 2 (2018)
$324.6 million
#9
The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
$281.6 million
#10
The Hangover (2009)
$277.3 million
By the end of the weekend, the new movie will already be more than $100 million above the No. 10 title on the chart, the smash hit comedy The Hangover, which itself spawned a three-film franchise. If it made half a billion, it would not be entirely far off from outgrossing that movie and the No. 9 title, The Matrix Reloaded, put together. On top of that, the gap between it and The Passion of the Christ is already $20 million and could eventually extend by an additional $100 million and beyond.
There is a chance that Deadpool & Wolverine could be seeing some competition before too long, as Joker: Folie à Deux is due on October 4. As the sequel to another billion-dollar R-rated superhero movie, it could very well also be a record-breaker. However, it has less of a legacy behind it than the three Deadpool movies and the nine X-Men movies featuring Wolverine, so it may ultimately pale in comparison.
