Marvel and Disney’s much-anticipated film Deadpool & Wolverine is finally making its debut in cinemas, bringing together beloved actors Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. The film reunites the on-screen and off-screen best friends, with Ryan Reynolds, the creative force behind the irreverent Deadpool series, and Shawn Levy, another close friend, directing.
The film is set to launch worldwide, not only in North America. Early indications suggest that Deadpool 3 could achieve impressive box office numbers following a lively press tour featuring its leading stars.
According to current estimates, Deadpool 3 could break previous records for an R-rated movie by opening with between $160 and $175 million in North America. The movie is predicted to bring in between $180 and $190 million from its international sales, making a total of about $350 million worldwide. A few bullish critics even predict that the movie might gross more than $200 million domestically. However, given the film’s R-rating, the majority of experts think that this could be difficult.
With so many opportunities for cross-promotion, Disney’s initial entry into the R-rated market with this movie is a big step forward. Both moviegoers and industry watchers are curious to see how this will affect the movie’s box office performance.
