It’s not often in Hollywood that you see acting partners dominating the box office at the same time, but for a power couple like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, they’ve managed to do it without breaking a sweat.

Deadpool & Wolverine has topped domestic box office charts for three weeks, so far making an impressive $493,931,351 according to The Numbers. Blake’s own film, It Ends With Us, has debuted in second place to the Marvel movie with an impressive $50,016,652 so far.

As the couple have completed respective press tours recently for their movies, they’ve been supporting each other the whole way through. Blake made a cameo appearance in the third installment of the superhero franchise, while Ryan made his own promotional appearance for It Ends With Us.
It goes without saying, then, that the healthy box office competition between their movies hasn’t led to much of a rivalry between them as partners.
“I think that’s the sign of a good relationship,” Ryan told Willie Geist during a preview of Today’s Sundown Sitdown. “It’s always been the one kind of constant with Blake and I is that we really root for each other.”
He then joked that it was the “only time in my life I’ve ever dreamt of coming in second.”
