Deadpool and Wolverine are sashaying past Barbie on domestic box office charts.
Marvel’s “Deadpool & Wolverine” added $679,000 as Disney brought the film back to 1,500 theaters over the weekend, boosting its North American total to $636.3 million. Those ticket sales were enough to ever-so-slightly surpass “Barbie” ($636.238 million) as the 12th highest-grossing release ever at the domestic box office. Greta Gerwig’s plastic, fantastic fantasy-comedy “Barbie” remains significantly bigger at the global box office with $1.445 billion.
“Deadpool & Wolverine,” starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as their comic book alter egos, premiered in July and notched several box office milestones in the following days, weeks and months. After scoring the biggest debut for an R-rated film with $211 million, it now stands as the top-earning R-rated film in history. The movie is currently the second highest-grossing release of the year with $1.335 billion globally, behind Disney’s Pixar sequel “Inside Out 2” ($1.69 billion). “Deadpool & Wolverine” ranks as the 20th-biggest film in history on global charts.
