We know how much money the film Deadpool & Wolverine De Marvel has brought back to Disney, and not surprisingly, it’s a lot.
If Disney in the lower ear since the huge flood of Snow White and the failure of Captain America 4the studio was still the king of oil in 2024 with the successes of Vaiana 2 et Mufasaand especially the triumphs of Vice-Versa 2 et Deadpool 3. The Pixar has become the biggest success of all time for an animated film, and the most successful Marvel of an R-Rated film (prohibited for minors not accompanied by an adult), doubled by the biggest box of the franchise X-Men (Films Deadpool et Wolverine included).
In all, Deadpool & Wolverine reported $ 1.3 billion to the world box office, including more than 630 million at home for 200 million de budget Excluding marketing. The feature filled by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman was the second biggest outing of the year behind the last Pixar, and ahead of the rest of Vaiana.
Obviously, Disney did not recover all the gains, part having notably gone to the operators. But Deadline The calculator took out to determine the benefit released by the company. Unsurprisingly, He reported big, even if the figure could surprise.
Disney’s account book
According to Deadline, Deadpool & Wolverine won $ 400 million in the Disney group. We note that despite a global box office at more than $ 1.3 billion, Disney finally recovered less than half.
To achieve this result, the media first calculated how much the film had reported on the whole of its exploitation, either About $ 980 million in global revenue :
- $ 620 million at the box office
- $ 150 million in VOD (video on demand)
- $ 210 million for television and streaming broadcasts
Deadline then subtracted from this sum the costs of the film, which are estimated at 580 million :
- 200 million dollars for production (including delays linked to 2023 strikes in Hollywood)
- $ 160 million to promote
- $ 50 million for the various shares on revenue
- $ 40 million in interest and general costs
- $ 130 million in various interests and participations (for at least Shawn Levy, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds)
And if you wonder how the box office works (budgets, marketing budgets, revenues, inflation, etc.), here is a video to guide you:
DEADPOOL, MOINS FORT QUE BLACK PANTHER
Even if it is a better profitability than Spider-Man : Across the Spider-verse (328 million profit for Sony) or Galaxy 3 guards (124 million profit for Disney) released in 2023, the two mutants survivors of the Fox did not not done better than the 476 million that the first Black Panthercited as an example by Deadline.
As for the benefit in itself, if it is more important than for many blockbusters, perhaps some will find it fairly laughable, even incomprehensible. The 1.3 billion box office figure was used to justify the film’s mega-carton, feeding in passing the idea that money would be donated to a handful of people (poster head (s), directors and producers).
Even if we do not doubt that Mickey eats hungry and sleeps warm, Disney has put $ 580 million on the table to leave with an envelope of 400 million, which recalls that a film of this magnitude mobilizes very many players in the sector and that a very large system surrounds each major.
But it also gives an idea of the losses that a film can cause. Even if the data varies from one production to another, it is difficult not to think about the case of Snow Whitewhose budget would be at least $ 270 million (excluding marketing), and which struggles to exceed 200 million at the world box office. At the beginning of April, Deadline had estimated the losses around 115 million, but by projecting results ultimately higher than those made by the film. The losses should therefore be revised upwards …
Disney will always be able to hope to resume post-Snow white With the remake of Lilo & Stitch expected on May 21 in France, but also Zootopia 2 November 26. Not to mention Marvel.
