The Ryan Reynolds–Hugh Jackman crowd-pleaser finished Sunday with a domestic total of $636.3 million, compared to the $636.2 million haul of Greta Gerwig and Warner Bros.’ acclaimed meta-comedy.

Barbie, however, still out-ranks the Deadpool threequel globally with a worldwide haul of $1,446 billion. The PG-rated, family-friendly pic is No. 15 on the all-time list of top-grossing films at the global box office.
