Deadpool & Wolverine Home Release Breaks Record as Best First-Day Seller of 2024

LFG. Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine — which released on digital platforms October 1st — snikt’d the record for the best first-day seller of 2024 on Fandango at Home. Fandango’s video-on-demand streaming service (formerly Vudu) announced Tuesday that the R-rated MCU movie, which teams Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine for the first time, topped the day-one sales of the other most-watched movies on the service, including the animated Inside Out 2 and Despicable Me 4, the Blake Lively-starring romantic drama It Ends With Us, and summer blockbusters Bad Boys: Ride or Die and Twisters.

“It is no surprise that Deadpool & Wolverine continues to smash records acrossFandango services well after its initial theatrical release in July,”said Cameron Douglas, SVP of Home Entertainment at Fandango. “We arethrilled to see so many fans rushing to relive theexcitement that Deadpool & Wolverine gave us, in the comfort of their homes.”

In 2022, Marvel and Sony’s Spider-Man: No Way Home surpassed Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame as the best-selling preordered title in Vudu history.

The Marvel Studios movie shattered box office records when it hit theaters over the summer, including passing 2019’s Joker as the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever and scoring the biggest global opening ($439 million) since Avatar: The Way of Water in 2022. To date, Deadpool & Wolverine has taken in $1.32 billion, which is the second-best box office performance of the year (behind Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out 2) and only the second movie this year to cross the billion dollar mark.

While fans won’t be able to stream Deadpool & Wolverine on Disney+ until later this year, the movie is available to buy (for $29.99) or rent ($24.99). Also available is the Deadpool 3-Movie Collection, which bundles the digital version of the new movie with 2016’s Deadpool and 2018’s Deadpool 2 for $49.99.
