Jul 29, 2024 10:08 AM

Hugh Jackman has recreated the iconic Wolverine meme from X-Men: The Animated Series to celebrate the record-breaking opening weekend of "Deadpool & Wolverine." Jackman posted a photo of himself as Wolverine holding a picture frame, but instead of looking at Jean Grey and Cyclops, he is looking at news that "Deadpool & Wolverine" is the number one movie worldwide. This meme has gone viral, especially with Ryan Reynolds' playful follow-up post. The movie has shattered box office records, including the largest R-rated global opening at $438.3 million. The film is now the highest July opener ever and has helped Marvel Studios surpass $30 billion in global box office revenue.

What is the record-breaking achievement of "Deadpool & Wolverine"?

"Deadpool & Wolverine" achieved the largest R-rated global box office opening ever with a remarkable $438.3 million and also set the eighth-biggest domestic weekend box office debut of all time with $205 million in ticket sales.

"Deadpool & Wolverine" has not only enthralled fans with its humor and action but also with its meta-marketing strategies led by stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Directed by Shawn Levy, this film continues the legacy of both characters, tying together the irreverent tone of Deadpool and the gritty, heartfelt portrayal of Wolverine. This film is a milestone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, pushing the boundaries of what R-rated superhero movies can achieve at the box office.
