Box office: 'Deadpool & Wolverine' hits ₹100cr milestone in India
What's the story
The Marvel film Deadpool & Wolverine, featuring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, has achieved a significant milestone by crossing the ₹100 crore mark on its ninth day of release in India.
The film had a robust opening and has maintained strong performance, successfully passing the Week 1 test.
The ongoing success of the film indicates it is poised for a lengthy run at the box office.
It is directed by Shawn Levy and features multiple cameos from MCU characters.
Successful release
'Deadpool & Wolverine' ends Marvel Studios's uncertainty
Deadpool & Wolverine was released on July 26, ending a period of uncertainty for Marvel Studios after the conclusion of Avengers: Endgame in 2019.
Early estimates by Sacnilk suggest that the film earned a substantial ₹89.90 crore in its first week at the Indian box office.
This impressive figure includes both English and Hindi dubbed versions of the film.
Record earnings
'Deadpool & Wolverine' joins 100 crore club in India
The film collected ₹21 crore on its opening day and has maintained a winning streak since then.
On Day 9, it collected an estimated ₹7.25 crore, bringing its total to ₹101.40 crore and securing its place in the 100 crore club.
This achievement is noteworthy for a Hollywood movie in the Indian market, especially since it has already broken records in the US market.
Indian releases such as Kalki 2898 AD and Ulajh have been unsuccessful in marring its business.
