According to Chinese movie ticketing platform Maoyan, the superhero sequel, starring Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds and Australian actor Hugh Jackman, made a respectable US$57 million (S$74 million) in its first 20 days in China.
But China-produced comedy-drama Successor made six times as much during the same period.
Released in China on July 16, Successor directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damo - stars Chinese actor Shen Teng and actress Ma Li as a wealthy couple who design a life of poverty to toughen their son up.
The film has since grossed more than 3.176 billion yuan (S$581 million) as of Aug 22 to become the third most-watched movie of 2024 in China, with Deadpool & Wolverine languishing at No. 15.
