Deadpool & Wolverine opens in theaters this weekend, and it's expected to be a smashing success commercially. According to tracking estimates, Deadpool & Wolverine is tracking to earn between $160 million-$170 million at the domestic box office for its opening weekend and between $180 million-$190 million from international markets for a global start of as much as $360 million.

Deadpool & Wolverine would become the biggest opening weekend for an R-rated movie, surpassing the current record-holder, which is the original Deadpool ($132.4 million).

For comparison, Inside Out 2--which is 2024's highest-grossing movie so far by leaps and bounds--made $154.2 million over its opening weekend in the US. Barbie, meanwhile, made $162 million for its opening weekend stateside in July 2023.
