As Marvel's all-out blockbuster in 2024, "Deadpool and Wolverine" can definitely be regarded as a high-budget movie. This makes us wonder, how much box office does the film need to reach to break even?
Marvel has struggled for a while after entering the multiverse phase. "Deadpool and Wolverine" is exactly the movie that Marvel needs, in addition to using the influence of the two stars, this movie also has many nostalgic elements of fans, which is expected to bring the ideal return to the box office of the movie.
It is worth mentioning that this is clearly a positive side for the box office.
According to Variety, this can be compared to many of Marvel's big sequels, including "Spider-Man: No Way Home" and "Doctor Strange 2". It can be seen that Marvel and Disney have confidence in this movie.
In addition to the basic production budget of the movie,. The film has been heavily hyped, and given the box office fiasco of several previous Marvel films (such as "Captain Marvel 2"), it's safe to say that Marvel hopes to re-enter the $1 billion box office club with "Deadpool and Wolverine."
A common rule of thumb is that the total cost of a film (the production budget plus marketing and other costs) needs to be earned back at least two to three times as much at the box office revenue to break even. Of course, this is only a rough estimate and not every film is applicable.
(This is a box office projection revenue). This means that the final box office of the film should exceed $1 billion, even though it is an R-rated movie. As for "Deadpool and Wolverine" being able to beat "Joker" at the box office, time will tell.
