Deadpool & Wolverine continues to soar at the box office, and the film is expected to pass a major milestone today, July 30. The movie should reach $500 million globally as of today, Deadline reported, and it’s even pacing ahead of Avatar: The Way of Water so far.

The three-day opening weekend for Deadpool & Wolverine saw the film earn $444.1 million, including $211 million from North America alone. The movie continued to rake in money on Monday, bringing the worldwide total for Deadpool & Wolverine to $496.3 million. Given that, Deadpool & Wolverine needs just a few more million today, July 30, to surpass $500 million worldwide.

As another point of comparison, Deadpool & Wolverine’s $444.1 million opening was bigger than Avatar: The Way of Water ($439 million), making it the biggest worldwide opening for any movie since Spider-Man: No Way Home back in 2021 ($587.2 million).

No one expects Deadpool & Wolverine to keep up pace with Avatar: The Way of Water, however, as that film had extremely long legs and ended its theatrical run with $2.32 billion to rank No. 3 all time.

Something that’s helping Deadpool & Wolverine globally is how the movie debuted in China alongside other international markets Come from Sports betting site VPbet . The 2016 Deadpool never came to China and Deadpool 2 was only released in China after it received a number of cuts and the new title of Deadpool 2: I Love My Family.

For Deadpool & Wolverine, China ($27.6 million) is the movie’s biggest international market, ahead of the UK ($25 million), Mexico ($21.5 million), Australia ($14.1 million), Brazil ($10.8 million), and India ($10.6 million).
