Deadpool And Wolverine, directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the titular roles, is all set to hit theatres on 26th July, 2024. The advance bookings for the movie have been exceptionally strong, indicating a promising start at the box office.
Deadpool And Wolverine Sells 200,000 Tickets in Top Chains for the Opening Day in India, 3 Hours Before Release Day
Deadpool And Wolverine, one of the most anticipated movies globally, has already sold over 200,000 tickets in top national chains in India for the opening day alone. With still 3 hours to go before the release day, the final advance count is expected to reach around 220,000 tickets. This robust presale performance suggests that the movie is set for a spectacular opening.
Deadpool And Wolverine Set for a Rs 20 Crore Nett Start at the Indian Box Office
Given the strong advance bookings, Deadpool And Wolverine is projected to have an opening day gross of approximately Rs 20 crore. If the movie receives positive word of mouth, the opening weekend is expected to comfortably exceed Rs 60 crore. For comparison, Thor: Love And Thunder had a similar kind of opening and ended up grossing Rs 100 crore. Deadpool And Wolverine aims to outgross Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness, although this will be a challenging target to achieve.

About Deadpool And Wolverine
Deadpool And Wolverine follows the story of Wade Wilson (played by Ryan Reynolds), who has retired from being Deadpool after being rejected to join the Avengers on Earth-616 in 2018. After breaking up with his girlfriend, Vanessa, and dealing with a mid-life crisis, Wade is captured by the Time Variance Authority (TZA) during his birthday gathering. He is delivered to Mr. Paradox (played by Matthew Macfadyen), who offers him a chance to join Earth-616, informing him that his timeline will deteriorate due to the death of Logan (played by Hugh Jackman), who is the timeline’s anchor being. Wade then steals Paradox’s TemPad to travel the multiverse and find a version of Logan who can help him save his timeline.
