Big time
Deadpool & Wolverine is one of the biggest box office success stories of 2024 so far, breaking records all the time. It just overtook 2019’s Joker to become the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. Not bad for Deadpool’s MCU debut!
Since the film has crossed that billion mark, we’re rounding up the 10 highest-grossing R-rated films of all time. As you’ll see in the gallery, three of the top five highest-grossing films feature the Deadpool franchise, the others being Joker and Oppenheimer.
Hugh Jackman appears twice thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine and Logan, but Reynolds beats him on the list with three appearances thanks to the Deadpool series.
It is also noteworthy that Detective Chinatown 3 ($686 million) made it to the shortlist despite being released only in China.
Read on to see the full list of the highest-grossing R-rated movies of all time, not adjusted for inflation. The list could also change soon, as the highly anticipated Joker: Folie A Deux comes out in October and promises to be a huge hit, although it remains to be seen if it can live up to the first film.
