Marvel's DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE is Tracking For a $200 Million-Plus Opening Weekend
While comic book movies have been in a slump in recent years, we all know that when the next Marvel movie Deadpool & Wolverine is released, it’s going to be a massive record-breaking hit.
The movie won’t solve all of Marvl’s problems, but fans are super excited to see Deadpool and Wolverine team up for a bonkers MCU adventure.
We’ve learned that the film is currently tracking for a $200 million-plus opening weekend, which is huge! Specifically, the Marvel movie is projected to earn between $200 million and $239 million just with its weekend debut.
This news comes from Deadline, which notes that The Quorum lists this box office projection as “conservative,” meaning that the tracking system believes the movie could even be higher than $239 million.
The current record holder for an R-rated opening at the domestic box office is the first Deadpool movie, which grossed $132.4 million. So, Deadpool & Wolveirne is going to blow that out of the water.
Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date – “Deadpool & Wolverine. A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life.
“His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier… reluctanter? Reluctantest?
“He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to – Fu-k. Synopses are so f–king stupid.”
The existential threat in the movie is Cassandra Nova, who is the evil twin sister of the X-Men's Professor Charles Xavier who poses a threat to the multiverse.
This whole story will lead to Deadpool changing the history of the MCU as he and Wolverine jump across the multiverse in a crazy adventure.
Shawn Levy is directing the movie and the confirmed cast for the movie also includes Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova, Morena Baccarin and Stefan Kapicic as Vanessa and Colossus, Matthew Macfadyen as a TVA Agent, and Leslie Uggams as Blind Al.
They are joined by Brianna Hildebrand and Shioli Kutsuna, who will also return to the franchise as Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s girlfriend Yukio. It was previously confirmed that Jennifer Garner will return as Elektra in the movie.
Deadpool & Wolverine will hit theaters on July 26th!
