POTD: ‘Deadpool’ Congratulates ‘Wonder Woman’ After Being Beaten At The Box Office
There’s no denying thatWonder Womanis a box office giant. Not only has it exceeded the expectations of even the most optimistic box office forecasters, but it has much longer legs than anyone anticipated. Weekend after weekend, the box office hasn’t been dropping anywhere near as steeply asWonder Woman’s box office competition, and another superhero with a surprise hit film wanted to show some love.
Deadpoolwas the surprise hit of 2016,landing over $363 millionat the domestic box office, thanks to its fresh approach to the superhero origin story and the addition of naughty, adult humor and fourth wall breaking. Now the Merc with a Mouth has been overtaken byWonder Woman’s march up the box office charts, but he’s not mad at all, as evidenced by a recent post to social media.

As you may see, the above post was made toDeadpool’s official Twitter account by taking one of the promotional images used during the film’s creative marketing campaign and added a chain with some Wonder Woman bling on it to show respect to the Princess of Themyscira’s dominance at the box office.Wonder Womanstill has a little more work to do to surpassDeadpoolworldwide though with roughly $28 million more to go.
As of July 9th,Wonder Womanhas over $368.4 millionat the domestic box office, but her page hasn’t been updated with the daily numbers for this week yet. That means she’s likely going to pass 2004’sSpider-Man 2soon but still has a little bit more to go before she passesGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Even so,Wonder Womanis already the highest grossing DC Extended Universe film in the United States
Worldwide,Wonder Womanhas $745.5 million, and it will surpassSuicide Squadat the global box office this week (if it hasn’t already). However, it has over $120 million to go before it surpassesBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceinternationally. It’s not out of the realm of possibility, but it’s likely not going to climb that high.
This only bodes well for the future ofWonder Woman, and we can’t wait to see what Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Entertainment do with her after she’s done playing withJustice Leaguethis fall.
