Summary
- Deadpool & Wolverine is projected to continue its No. 1 streak in its third weekend at the domestic box office.
- However, it has seen fierce competition from the No. 2 title, It Ends with Us.
- Meanwhile, Eli Roth’s Borderlands has had a much quieter weekend, bottoming out the Top 5 chart.
Deadpool & Wolverine continues its box office reign despite fearsome competitor It Ends with Us entering the ring alongside the sputtering Borderlands. The Deadpool & Wolverine box office is already one of the year’s biggest stories as the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie opened with the biggest R-rated debut ever and quickly climbed past $900 million. In its second weekend, it easily batted down the thriller Trap, and its latest new release opponents are It Ends with Us, based on the controversial Colleen Hoover romance novel of the same name, and Borderlands, an Eli Roth-helmed adaptation of the popular video game.
Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning Deadpool & Wolverine is projected to maintain its position at No. 1 by the end of its third weekend at the domestic box office with a 3-day total of $55.8 million. However, It Ends with Us is putting up fierce competition for second place, with projections placing it somewhere between $45 and $49 million by the end of the weekend. Meanwhile, Borderlands trails far behind in the $8 to $10 million range. While sources say its roughly $120 million budget has largely been covered by international licensing, this is a slow start.
