After a hiatus, Marvel Studios is poised for a grand comeback with the highly anticipated release of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” This film marks a significant release following “The Marvels,” which faced considerable negativity prior to its release.
Now, Marvel is returning to its roots with a high-stakes, front-loaded blockbuster. At the Indian box office, the film is expected to create a spectacular impact and start with a bang. Let’s delve into how the advance bookings are shaping up for the opening day.
Phase Five’s Fourth Film: A Hit Among Indian Audiences
“Deadpool & Wolverine” is the fourth installment in phase five of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Both characters, Deadpool and Wolverine, have a substantial following in India, particularly among the youth. Beyond Marvel’s extensive fan base, the film is also drawing interest from general audiences, thanks to its entertaining trailer, which has resonated well with viewers.
Variety of Formats Driving Advance Bookings
The upcoming superhero film is not just limited to the standard 2D format; it is also being released in premium formats such as 3D, IMAX 3D, 4DX, and ICE 3D. As anticipated, the 3D version is generating the majority of the business across India. Thus far, the English 3D version has garnered ticket sales worth 1.93 crores gross. Meanwhile, the Hindi 3D version has sold tickets amounting to over 58 lakh gross. The English IMAX 3D version has also performed well, with ticket sales reaching 56 lakh gross.

Potential for Record-Breaking Opening Day
With a solid response already in place and four days remaining until its release, “Deadpool & Wolverine” has the potential to reach the 10 crore mark in day one advance bookings before the first show on Friday.
