According to the film’s synopsis, “Deadpool is offered a place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by the Time Variance Authority, but instead recruits a variant of Wolverine to save his universe from extinction.” The movie brought back some old characters and some unexpected cameos by surprising actors.

It collected $26.5 million in the international regions on Monday, surpassing Doctor Strange 2‘s $15.7 million. In over 52 markets, the Marvel biggie is being played, which has helped the movie reach a $260.5 million cume overseas.
In the North American box office, Deadpool & Wolverine is also enjoying the top spot on the box office chart. There is no competition and no threat to the MCU movie. It has grossed an impressive $235.7 million cume in the US; thus, the global reached $496.3 million. It is expected to cross the $600 million mark on Thursday, and on Sunday or Monday, it is predicted to rake in $900 million+, all of that in under 10-11 days. Now, that is one heck of an achievement.
