‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Is Tracking Towards a $160-$165 Million Debut
With Deadpool & Wolverine now just over three weeks away from hitting theaters, we are starting to get a better picture of how the film’s opening weekend will unfold.
At the six-week mark, Quorum projected that the third installment in the Deadpool franchise was looking at a $200 million opening weekend and the domestic box office.

That number would not only have set the record for the biggest opening of 2024 but also the best debut for an R-rated film ever.
New Projections Are In
Now, just 23 days before the film hits theaters, NGR, Screen Engine, and other box office tracking services are projecting an opening weekend of $160-165 million for Deadpool & Wolverine.

While that number may not be quite as impressive as the previously prognosticated $200 million opening weekend, Disney and Marvel would likely be thrilled to land at $160 million.

Such an opening would still be the best of 2024 and the highest ever for an R-rated film. Currently, the first Deadpool film holds that distinction with its $132.4 million debut in 2016.
The Film Looks Like a Hit
Interestingly, Quorum is still standing by its projection of $200 million, which the service initially called conservative.

No matter what way you slice it, Deadpool & Wolverine is trending towards becoming the biggest blockbuster of the year. The only question now is how high the film will soar.
Deadpool & Wolverine will hit theaters on July 26.
