Chadwick Boseman’s ‘Black Panther’ currently holds the 3rd spot with a domestic total of $700 million. ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ ranks second with $814 million, while ‘Avengers: Endgame’ leads the pack at $858 million.
Globally, without the latest international figures, ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ stands at $1.31 billion, just $39 million shy of surpassing ‘Black Panther’s’ $1.33 billion. Several factors have fueled the film’s remarkable success, including its status as Marvel Studios’ only 2024 theatrical release amidst a lineup of web series like ‘Echo,’ ‘X-Men ’97,’ and ‘Agatha All Along.’
The long-awaited team-up of Deadpool and Wolverine also played a key role in drawing fans. While it’s unlikely to rise further on the domestic box office charts, the film is projected to conclude its run with a US total between $630-640 million.
