Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman-starrer ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ is set to make a grand start at the box office in India and across the world. Releasing this Friday, the movie is expected to revive the low phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
According to reports, the movie is expected to mint $ 360 million on its opening day, and around $160-170 million is expected to be collected in the US market alone. It is slated to be the biggest movie with an A-rated movie in India. The movie has received an R-rating in the US.
The movie already looks promising, judging by the advance bookings. As per the industry tracker Sacnilk, the movie has sold over 1.25 lakh tickets and minted over Rs 5 crore on its opening day. The advance booking suggests that it could have the biggest opening for a Hollywood movie in India.
Experts believe that “Deadpool and Wolverine” might do a fantastic opening, after witnessing the pre-sales performance. The movie might earn Rs 30 crore on its first day, and if everything goes as expected it can become the biggest Hollywood opener of all time in India. It might surpass the opening-day collection, which has garnered Rs 32.67 crore net in India.
‘Deadpool and Wolverine’: Biggest opening for an A-rated film
Deadpool and Wolverine have received A-ratings in India which might hamper its family audience. It would be interesting to see its collection without attracting kids and family which has never been the case with other Marvel superhero movies.
The biggest Hollywood movie at the Indian box office is still ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’, which has garnered Rs 391.4 crore from the Indian market alone. Followed by Marvel’s ‘Avengers: End Game’ at Rs 373.05 crore and ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ at Rs 227.30 crore in the Indian market.
