For the week that ended on November 16th, Walt Disney Home Entertainment and 20th Century Studios'
Deadpool & Wolverine spent a fourth week on top of both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts. The 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe smashed box office records when it opened in July 2024, grossing over $636 million domestically and over $1.3 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time and the second-highest-grossing film of 2024 to date, behind only
