The boys are at it again, with yet another milestone crossed. Including Thursday’s numbers, Deadpool & Wolverine has licked the six-century global box office milestone, now counting $630.4M worldwide. Is it bittersweet that this means D&W has overtaken the lifetime of Hugh Jackman-starrer Logan’s $619M global (likewise an R-rated movie and one which is heavily referenced in D&W)? Probably worth keeping an eye on social for commentary from the stars about that.
With this weekend’s upcoming business, Ryan Reynolds and Jackman are expected to be fronting the second biggest movie of the year worldwide, only behind Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2.
The current breakdown for this Marvel and Disney phenom is $298.4M domestic and $332M from the international box office.

Internationally, D&W has already well surpassed that 2004 Mel Gibson blockbuster. The overall overseas record is still a ways away, though the film could enter the Top 5 this weekend.
