Deadpool & Wolverine is projected to be a box office behemoth and its odds of hitting $1 billion are even better after a recent update. Marvel is currently going through a rough patch compared to its Infinity Saga days, and some claim that its issues stem from superhero fatigue. However, that’s harder to defend after seeing the hype that Deadpool & Wolverine is generating. The first trailer broke the record for the most views for a movie trailer within 24 hours with 365 total million views, beating the record previously held by Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The upcoming MCU film also broke the record for best first-day ticket sales this year, showing plenty of excitement ahead of this film’s release. Thanks to early ticket sales, Deadpool & Wolverine is tracking to earn $200-$239 million domestically in its opening weekend, according to Deadline. If the movie hits that projection, it will likely crack the $1 billion worldwide milestone, becoming the first Deadpool film to achieve that goal. A recent announcement regarding its global release suggests Deadpool’s $1 billion odds look better than ever.

Deadpool & Wolverine Is The First Deadpool Film To Get A Release In China

China is the second-largest theatrical film market behind the U.S. Many films, especially blockbusters, rely on that market to get that extra boost from the international box office. Deadpool & Wolverine can now look forward to putting some extra money in its pocket, as it’s the first Deadpool film to get a release in China. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will be released simultaneously with the U.S. While there will be some minor cuts, none will affect the “the integrity of the storytelling” or the “Deadpool spirit.”
