Deadpool & Wolverine Emerged As Highest Grossing R Rated Film

The R-rated movie landscape has witnessed a significant shift with the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, which has dethroned Joker as the highest-grossing R-rated movie at the global box office in just 23 days. This Marvel Cinematic Universe film has made history by crossing the billion-dollar mark and surpassing Joker's global gross of $1.079 billion, establishing itself as the new highest-grossing R-rated movie with a total of $1.086 billion.

Joker, starring Joaquin Phoenix, held the top position since 2019, earning critical acclaim and an Oscar for Best Actor. However, Deadpool & Wolverine's massive success has pushed Joker down to second place, marking a significant milestone in the R-rated movie landscape.

The success of Deadpool & Wolverine can be attributed to its scale, anticipation, concept, and star-studded cast, which aligned to make it a blockbuster hit. However, its position is still at risk with the upcoming release of Joker 2, also known as Joker: Folie à Deux, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, which has the potential to earn even more than the first installment.

The competition between these two R-rated movies will be interesting to watch, especially with Joker 2's release in October. Will Deadpool & Wolverine maintain its top position, or will Joker 2 reclaim the throne? Only time will tell, but for now, Deadpool & Wolverine basks in the glory of its historic achievement.
