The Marvel Cinematic Universe made a thunderous comeback with Deadpool & Wolverine last year. The highly anticipated collaboration of Ryan Reynolds and his best friend/nemesis, Hugh Jackman, not only broke many box office records but also hopped their way into a mind-blowing revenue. When the movie made its streaming debut on Disney+, it was welcomed with another set of successes, but it looks like it has finally received a worthy opponent in the form of Dakota Johnson.

 A recent figure comparison from both movies shows that Dakota Johnson's Madame Web holds an upper hand over Deadpool & Wolverine in streaming.

After a summer release in the theatres, Deadpool & Wolverine made their way to the streaming world on November 12 with Disney+ in 2024. Then it has scored a viewership of 15.8 million in a fortnight. However, as reported by What's on Netflix, it is left behind by Dakota Johnson's Madame Web, which made its streaming debut on Netflix last year on May 14 and managed to get more than 16 million views in the first two weeks.

After its streaming debut, Madame Web was not just a threat to Deadpool & Wolverine. For the first two weeks, it was the most watched superhero movie in the US. In the list of most-watched Sony Pictures on Netflix, Madame Web ranks at number seven, leaving behind rom-com Ayone But You, Tom Hardy’s Venom, and others. But it is left behind by Brad Pitt’s Bullet Train and Tom Holland’s Uncharted, which tops the list with an amazing 21.5 million views on Netflix.

Madame Web, which had a Valentine's Day release on February 14, turned out to be the biggest bomb at the box office. Not only was it marred by the critics, but it only managed to gross a revenue of $100.5 million against a budget of $100 million, which did not create any profit. Even the star power of Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney could not manage to salvage it. On the other hand, Ryan Reynolds had the best time of his life.
