As per the latest figures from the international trade publication, The Hollywood Reporter, the superhero crossover film, Deadpool & Wolverine, has surged past significant milestones in its box office journey. After just the second weekend since its release, the film has amassed an impressive $428.5 million domestically within the United States and a staggering $824.1 million globally. These numbers have already eclipsed the combined earnings of both previous Deadpool films, and there is a strong indication that this cinematic spectacle could become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time.

The first two Deadpool installments grossed $363.1 million and $782.6 million worldwide, respectively, with the sequel earning slightly less at $318.5 million domestically and $734.5 million globally. By comparison, Deadpool & Wolverine has already surpassed these totals, cementing its place as a box office powerhouse.

In the ranking of global box office earnings for R-rated movies, Deadpool & Wolverine has rapidly ascended to the third spot. It trails only Todd Phillips' Joker, which leads with a remarkable $1.064 billion, and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, which currently stands at $975.2 million. Industry analysts predict that it may take just one more week for Deadpool & Wolverine to overtake Joker's record. Forecasts suggest that the film's final tally could reach upwards of $1.2 billion, further solidifying its position as a standout success in the R-rated category.
