Last weekend, “Deadpool & Wolverine” took in over $438 million at the global box office. As impressive as that may sound, it’s only the third biggest opening of the year. Nonetheless, it was a bigger take than the first two Deadpool installments, both released pre-COVID-19. For even the most glass-half-empty industry analysts that’s pretty good news.
The total domestic box office take for last weekend for all releases (26 total) exceeded $276 million, $65 million higher than the previous 2024 best (June 14–16), which included over double the number of titles (58). That’s even more good news … or is it?
