Marvel's 'Deadpool & Wolverine' has made a significant impact at the box office, earning $97 million in its second weekend and becoming the second-biggest movie of the year.

'Deadpool & Wolverine' is now the second-highest-grossing domestic release of 2023, surpassing both 'Despicable Me 4' and 'Dune: Part Two.'

With a domestic total exceeding $300 million, the film grossed $28.3 million on its second Friday alone.

'Deadpool & Wolverine' is on track to break the record for the highest domestic gross for an R-rated film, previously held by 'The Passion of the Christ' at $370 million.

After just ten days in theaters, it has already become the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, not accounting for inflation.

July marked Hollywood's best month in a year, with ticket sales surpassing $1 billion, largely fueled by successful films like 'Inside Out 2' and 'Deadpool & Wolverine.'

In contrast, M. Night Shyamalan's latest thriller, 'Trap,' opened modestly with $15.6 million, underperforming compared to his previous works.

Despite a star-studded cast led by Josh Hartnett, 'Trap' received negative reviews, reflected in its low Rotten Tomatoes score of 48%.

The children's film 'Harold and the Purple Crayon' also struggled, earning only $2.4 million on its opening day and projected to debut outside the top five.

Despite positive audience reactions, 'Harold and the Purple Crayon' faces challenges due to its high production budget of $40 million and poor critical reviews.

'Inside Out 2' continues to thrive, grossing $6.7 million in its eighth week and reaching a total of $626.9 million domestically.

Walt Disney Studios has become the first studio to surpass $3 billion in global ticket sales in a single year, thanks to its major releases in 2024.
