“Deadpool & Wolverine” is the newest member of the billion-dollar club.

Disney’s Marvel sequel, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as their comic book alter egos, has grossed $494.3 million in North America and $535.1 million internationally for a total of $1.029 billion at the global box office. It is the second-highest-grossing release of 2024, following Disney’s Pixar smash “Inside Out 2” with $1.558 billion to cross the billion-dollar mark.

Notably, the film will soon overtake 2019's "Joker" ($1.07 billion, the only other R-rated film to reach the coveted milestone) as the highest-grossing R-rated film in history.
