In this year’s box office statistics, “Inside Out 2” is unrivaled. The animated film has earned almost $1.5 billion worldwide. In second place is “Dune 2” with half the result. The podium is closed by the next installment of the Minions’ adventures, “Gru and Minions: Undercover”. The animated film has already earned over $580 million and is still being shown in theaters.
We have a new blockbuster. “Deadpool & Wolverine” will earn a fortune
Everything indicates that the podium of the international box office results of 2024 will soon be shaken up. On July 22, the world premiere of one of the most anticipated films of recent months – “Deadpool & Wolverine” took place. Although the latest Marvel production received the “R” age category, it is predicted to be a huge financial success.
The film, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, is intended for people over 17 years of age. Younger viewers can watch the production only under the supervision of an adult. Usually, films with such a category do not record opening weekend results. Experts estimate, however, that “Deadpool & Wolverine” may be an exception.
Experts: “Deadpool & Wolverine” will break sales records in its category
Deadline reports that experts monitoring interest in cinema premieres predict that the premiere weekend will bring the production a worldwide result of 340-360 million dollars. That is half of the final earnings of “Dune 2”. In turn, in the United States alone, the film is expected to earn around 160-170 million dollars, a record in the aforementioned age category.
Until recently, the biggest opening weekend financial success for an R-rated film was Deadpool’s solo film debut. The 2016 film earned over $132 million.
In the final analysis, the biggest grosser of all time among R-rated films was Todd Phillips’ Joker, which grossed over a billion dollars. The film will see a sequel this year. Second place went to Oppenheimer, which grossed slightly more than $976 million. Interestingly, the third and fourth places on the list belong to two Deadpool films. Deadpool 2 closed the podium with almost $786 million, followed by Deadpool, which grossed $3 million less.
