The summer season is officially over at the North American box office and Deadpool & Wolverine has dominated a sleepy Labor Day weekend with $15.2 million over three days and an estimated $19.5 million through Monday. 

The Marvel Studios threequel has been #1 for five out of the past six weekends and is the second highest-grossing movie of the year behind Inside Out 2 (it won't top the Pixar sequel but this is still a phenomenal result for Marvel Studios after a tricky 2023).

As we write this, Deadpool & Wolverine sit at $603.8 million in North America and $1.25 billion globally. It's an incredible result and one which should open the door to more R-Rated MCU movies and plenty more Deadpool and Wolverine in the years ahead. 

If nothing else, we'd expect those two to take centre stage in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars; however, Disney is surely mulling over another movie starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman while looking at this impressive box office haul. 

Alien: Romulus remained in second place with $9.3 million over the weekend and an estimated $11.5 million over four days. That's now grossed $91 million domestically and $283.5 million worldwide. 

It Ends With Us was third, Reagan was fourth, and Twisters rounded out the top five. Other new releases like Afraid, 1992, and City of Dreams didn't make the biggest of impacts. 

As for The Crow, after debuting at #8 last week, it's not even mentioned in this report.

Back to the MCU movie and Reynolds' latest Deadpool & Wolverine social media post revolves around Welshpool and the fact that Deadpool Corps member's suit is now on display at Wrexham A.F.C. in Wales.

Take a closer look at that below.

Back in July, we concluded our Deadpool & Wolverine review - which you can read by clicking here - by saying, "A contender for the best superhero movie ever, Deadpool & Wolverine is two hours of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman proving they were born to play these roles and, crucially, be part of the MCU. It’s a f***ing masterpiece."

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool & Wolverine, which stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, Matthew Macfadyen, and Dafne Keen. The movie is written by Ryan Reynolds & Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick & Zeb Wells & Shawn Levy.

Kevin Feige, Reynolds, Levy and Lauren Shuler Donner produce with Louis D’Esposito, Wendy Jacobson, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, George Dewey, Simon Kinberg and Jonathon Komack Martin serving as executive producers.

Deadpool & Wolverine is now playing in theaters.

Totally deserves it. Glad to see Alien doing well also. Alien and Predator franchises both seem to be on the comeback. Wish Terminator could follow suite. Hopefully the new anime is the start.

I'm lukewarm on the movie but I'm glad people are still showing up for the MCU. This is a good sign for the Avengers movies

@ShellHead - as far as multiverse variant heavy movies go, I prefer no way home. However this was true entertainment and I'm glad it's having people be optimistic about the mcu again

@Vigor - No Way Home and Loki season 1 got the multiverse variant right.

Not surprising since it had no real competition at all this week (which has essentially been the case for its run thus far aswell aside from Alien Romulus).

I’m surprised Reagan got in the top five since there has barely been any promotion for it but I guess you just can’t stop middle aged/senior citizen republicans lol.

Alien was great and it's a "no duh" with DP&W.

What pi$$es me off is Hollywood/theaters not even showing "Reagan."
I am in no way political. Politics is garbage that keeps our country divided and the 'unknown' guys really in charge love it.

But I HATE the Hollywood left extremest. They don't know how the real world works for normal people, they go all in on super-left and the dominated leftist media, and their the reason Reagen has been censored in the country by thousands of theaters.

It's B.S. and needs to be brought down. The society we live in right now has been predicted by V for Vendetta. A virus unleashed, school children being killed, and a dictator, which in our case is the media/Hollywood left, that wants to control the nations narrative.

I'm not right or left, but the only thing the movie V for Vendetta got wrong was making the president and his side extreme right. Wrong.

@lazlodaytona - How is it being "censored?" It's playing in 2700 theaters. That's actually a decent amount for a lower budget ($25 million) film from a lower tier production company.

The fact of the matter is it's just a jerk off love letter to The Gipper. As someone who enjoys history and politics, I'd be more interested in watching a film that humanizes Reagan and show his flaws. Instead, it seems the film tries to make him seem like the "perfect" president...which he wasn't.

@DanielPlainviewsGhost - you've seen it?
Just asking because of your "it seems..." statement.

Oh, and perfect president? Neither was JFK who was a man-wh0re in the White House worse than Clinton yet is glorified because he was assassinated.

He had zero good policies. I may HATE politics, but I do my research.

Btw. I live in a conservative state and the film is nowhere to be seen
DanielPlainviewsGhost
DanielPlainviewsGhost - 9/1/2024, 4:25 PM
@lazlodaytona - Based on te reviews and cheap looking trailer it seems that way.

And I never said JFK was perfect. You claim to hat3 politics but you're quick to jump to "BUT WHAT ABOUT JFK?!" who yes was an absolute horn dog. I know this because I HAVE done my research.

And you can say it isn't playing anywhere near you but it's still in 2700 theaters and that's a fact.

@lazlodaytona - Also I live in a very blue state and it's playing right now. Literally, there's a showing right now.

lazlodaytona - 9/1/2024, 6:08 PM
@DanielPlainviewsGhost - ok. you win. you do realize that 2700 theaters in the U.S. is like 1/50th of the country, if not more, correct?

Oh, and i could "quick to jump on" any American president and their terrible reign. give me a break. you are someone who is trying to paint me as a right when i absolutely absolve myself from politics. the only fashion of politics is i hate the extreme leftist Hollywood. Other than that, i Have zero bull in the ring.

get over yourself. no matter how you vote, our country is continually spirally down to dog sh1t. and it'll never improve.

@DanielPlainviewsGhost - cool. you seeing it? or have seen it yet?
DanielPlainviewsGhost
DanielPlainviewsGhost - 9/1/2024, 6:53 PM
@lazlodaytona - It's very convenient those who "hate both sides" tend to only bash the one side. JFK was an adulterer and had his fair share of mess ups. Reagan also screwed the pooch a few and in hindsight some of his policies ended up not working out as well. Both things are true.

I don't want a sanitized "political party approved" Reagan biopic just like I wouldn't want a JFK one. I want the warts and all. This movie is just hero worship, which again, I wouldn't want to watch one like that involving JFK either.

As far as theater counts go, Deadpool and Wolverine is playing in 3600 theaters. Alien Romulus 3100. Afraid (which also came out this weekend) 3000. Reagan actually had a higher theater average and opening weekend. It actually exceeded expectations. So people are finding it even though it's supposedly being censored by "thousands" of theaters.
