Having opened almost a month ago to the day, 20th Century Fox’s X-Men spinoff Deadpool has now reached another box office milestone, passing the $700 million mark worldwide with $708.1 million and counting.
The Merc with a Mouth is now the fourteenth highest-grossing superhero movie of all time, and has outperformed the likes of Man of Steel ($668 million), Thor: The Dark World ($644.6 million) and Iron Man 2 ($623.9 million). It is just $900k shy of The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s haul of $709 million and should also overtake Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($714.4 million) by this time next weekend.
