Record-Breaking Opening for A-Rated Hollywood Film

This surpasses last year’s “Oppenheimer,” which earned Rs 13.50 crore, marking a significant milestone.
Southern India Dominance: Despite fierce competition from the Tamil film “Raayan,” “Deadpool And Wolverine” performed exceptionally well in southern India.
The loyal moviegoers in the southern circuit contributed significantly to the film’s success. “Deadpool And Wolverine” aims for a massive global start, eyeing a USD 400 million-plus worldwide box office collection.
Opening Day Records:
The film raked in Rs. 25 crore (approximately 3 million dollars) on its first day, securing the sixth-best opening for a Hollywood film in India.
It outperformed “Oppenheimer” (Rs. 17.60 crore) and even edged past “Thor: Love and Thunder.” Beyond mere numbers, audience reception matters. Early ratings on BookMyShow were impressive (9 out of 10), compared to 7.9 for “Thor 4” and 8.1 for “Doctor Strange 2.”
Balanced North vs. South India Performance: Unlike recent Hollywood releases skewed toward South India, “Deadpool And Wolverine” had a balanced debut. North India’s opening was 30% higher than “Thor 4,” while the South saw a slight dip due to competition from “Rayaan.”
