The world premiere of 'Deadpool & Wolverine' at Lincoln Center in New York City on July 22, 2024, was a star-studded event attended by celebrities Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. The superhero film has quickly become a box office sensation, dominating the U.S. market after its wide release.
One unexpected outcome of the movie's success is the resurgence of NSYNC's hit song 'Bye Bye Bye' on iTunes. The clever use of the iconic pop tune in 'Deadpool & Wolverine' has propelled it back into the top 40 bestsellers on the U.S. iTunes chart.
Currently, 'Bye Bye Bye' sits at No. 35 on the iTunes chart, with sales of the song steadily climbing following its prominent feature in the blockbuster film. The version available for purchase is even labeled 'Bye Bye Bye (From Deadpool & Wolverine).'
The official soundtrack of 'Deadpool & Wolverine' was released on July 24, featuring a mix of classic hits, new releases, and early 2000s pop songs. The album includes tracks from artists like the Goo Goo Dolls, Green Day, and Avril Lavigne, catering to a wide audience.
With an impressive opening weekend box office revenue of $211 million in the U.S., 'Deadpool & Wolverine' has proven to be a massive success, surpassing other films like 'Twisters.' The soundtrack's popularity has also contributed to its overall appeal, with multiple versions of the album ranking in the top 10 on the American iTunes albums-only chart.
The film's success has not only delighted fans of the superhero genre but has also reignited interest in nostalgic music from the early 2000s, showcasing the enduring impact of popular culture on entertainment trends.
