‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Is Heading Towards a MASSIVE Opening Weekend
After years of releasing new content at a breakneck speed, Marvel Studios is set to only release one film this year- Deadpool & Wolverine.
The third installment in the Deadpool franchise will not only see Hugh Jackman reprise his iconic role as Wolverine, but it will also be the first entry produced by Marvel Studios.

With Marvel putting all of its eggs in one basket, Kevin Feige and his team are counting on Deadpool & Wolverine becoming a hit. Luckily, it looks like they don’t have anything to worry about.
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Could Deliver the Biggest R-rated Opening Ever
According to a new report from Deadline, The Quorum, which tracks films’ box office prospects six weeks in advance, is reporting that Deadpool & Wolverine could open to a $200-$239 million opening weekend. The service believes those estimates are conservative.

Should the Shawn Levy-directed film debut to that kind of number, Deadpool & Wolverine would have the highest opening for an R-rated movie ever. Currently, that title is held by the original Deadpool, which grossed $132.4 million in 2016.

Such an opening would also be the biggest of both Reynolds and Jackman’s careers. Renyolds’ highest bow is currently the original Deadpool, while Jackman’s best debut was X-Men: The Last Stand, which delivered a $103 million opening.
Where Such an Opening Would Rank For Marvel
A $200+ million opening for Deadpool & Wolverine would understandably thrill both Disney and Marvel. That number would also easily be Marvel’s best opening since Spider-Man: No Way Home.

While a lot could happen in the six weeks leading up to the film’s release, all signs point toward Deadpool & Wolverine being the biggest release of 2024 and perhaps the biggest for an R-rated film ever.
That would certainly do much to put Marvel back on solid footing and dispel notions of superhero fatigue.
