Deadpool & Wolverine Rake in $824 Million, Giving Disney a $3 Billion Reason to Gloat

Oh, Hollywood, you never fail to amuse me with your box office shenanigans! Let’s dive right into the latest gossip, shall we?

Deadpool and Wolverine: A Match Made in Box Office Heaven 🎬💰

So, the dynamic duo Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have done it again! Their latest comic book escapade, Deadpool & Wolverine, has raked in a whopping $824 million globally in just two weekends. Move over, Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018); your big brother is here to stay. And guess what? It’s already the second-highest grossing movie of 2024, only trailing behind Inside Out 2 with its mind-blowing $1.555 billion. Oh, and it’s also making history as the third-biggest R-rated movie ever, after Joker and Oppenheimer. A billion-dollar club member in just a few days? I see you, Deadpool. 💪

Disney’s Magical Money-Making Machine 🏰💸

Ah, Disney, the fairy tale that keeps on giving… to its shareholders. The Magic Kingdom has surpassed $3 billion in worldwide ticket sales this year, and it only took four big releases to do it: Deadpool & Wolverine, Inside Out 2, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and The First Omen. And they’re not done yet! Keep an eye out for Alien: Romulus in August, Moana 2 in November, and Mufasa: The Lion King in December. Keep that money rolling in, Disney! 🤑

Deadpool & Wolverine: International Love 🌍❤️

This superhero bromance isn’t just a hit in the U.S. and Canada. Nope, it’s making waves globally! Over the weekend, it added $110.5 million from 52 territories. China leads the pack with $45.2 million, followed by the UK, Mexico, and Australia. And those Imax screenings? They’ve contributed a cool $17.5 million globally, bringing the Imax total to $64.5 million. Talk about a global takeover! 🌐

New Releases? More like New Flops 🚫🍿

While Deadpool and Wolverine were busy breaking records, M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap and Sony’s Harold and the Purple Crayon were busy breaking hearts (and not in a good way). Trap managed a measly $4.4 million from 38 territories, despite its twisted plot featuring Josh Hartnett as a serial killer caught in a police trap at a pop concert. Horror fans, where you at? 🧟‍♂️

And then there’s Harold and the Purple Crayon, which limped in with $3 million from 32 overseas markets. Despite the mega-success of kid-friendly Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4, poor Harold couldn’t catch a break. With a domestic start of just $6 million and a hefty $40 million production cost, Sony is probably hoping for a summer miracle. ✏️💔

Moral of the Story: Superheroes Save the Day (and the Box Office) 🦸‍♂️💥

So, what have we learned today, folks? If you’re not a superhero movie, you’re probably not making bank. Disney’s sitting pretty on its throne of gold coins, and Deadpool & Wolverine are proving that antiheroes can be box office heroes. Meanwhile, horror and kids’ movies are struggling like a bad hair day.

Until next time, keep your popcorn warm and your expectations low!
