There are just a few days left before the highly anticipated Deadpool & Wolverine hits theaters. The box office predictions for the film are looking good, especially for its opening weekend, as fans will want to avoid spoilers. However, even though the film is now part of the MCU, it still has an R-rating, which could affect its numbers. So, let’s take a look at Deadpool & Wolverine’s box office predictions and see how much the film will gross.
Marvel fires woke activists after HUGE box office success of Deadpool & Wolverine!
Many sources estimate that Deadpool and Wolverine would gross around $160 million when it premiered.
About a month ago, Deadline predicted that the film would gross around $200 million in its opening weekend. However, other sources have predicted a lower figure of around $160 million. Even this number is quite high compared to the first Deadpool film which opened with $132.4 million – the current highest opening for an R-rated film. So if Deadpool & Wolverine makes the predicted numbers, it will overtake the original Deadpool film.
The first Deadpool film came out in 2016, and it's safe to assume that there are more Deadpool fans over the age of 18 these days. While it's technically the first MCU film to have an R rating, this threequel could beat the original film to the box office opening.
