Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Go Head-to-Head at the Box Office

The spouses faced off in theaters with their new movies ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ and ‘It Ends with Us,’ respectively

It was the battle of the box office for Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively!

The spouses’ newest movies — Deadpool & Wolverine for Reynolds, 47, and It Ends with Us for Lively, 36 — faced off in theaters this weekend, as the latter film made its premiere and Reynolds’ Marvel flick enjoyed continued success since its July 26 opening.

The winner? Deadpool & Wolverine, which raked in $54.2 million in domestic ticket sales, while It Ends with Us made $50 million, Variety reported.

The outlet added that the occasion marks the first time in over three decades that a married couple had their films top the box office. The last to do it was Bruce Willis in Die Hard 2 and Demi Moore in Ghost, which earned the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively, in 1990.

So far, Deadpool & Wolverine has topped the box office for three weekends in a row, garnering $494.3 million domestically and over $1 billion globally to date, per Variety.

Despite their playful competitiveness surrounding their films, Reynolds and Lively, who tied the knot in 2012 and share four 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, have supported one another wholeheartedly as they have celebrated both Deadpool & Wolverine and It Ends with Us.

For the New York City premiere of Reynolds’ movie, Lively wore a custom, second-skin, off-the-shoulder Versace catsuit inspired by her own character in the Marvel film, Lady Deadpool.

After his wife rocked Deadpool red at the latter event, Reynolds stepped out with Lively in support of It Ends with Us in the Big Apple on Tuesday, Aug. 6, wearing an olive-green suit with a white floral boutonniere — a nod to his wife’s protagonist Lily Bloom, who works as a florist.

Lively told PEOPLE at the premiere that “it’s the best” to have the support of Reynolds, and previously joked the PEOPLE at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere that he was supporting here there as well, as opposed to the other way around.

In an interview for a recent issue of PEOPLE, Lively described the best bouquet of flowers she ever received — and of course, they were from Reynolds.

“When my husband and I first got together, he would send me a bouquet of flowers every week,” she said, “but he would always send a card and it would just be a sentence of something that had happened that week. Something funny or emotional that one of us said.”

“It was just a little quote of the week,” added the Gossip Girl alum. “It was such a beautiful, romantic thing. Now we have 4,000 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren!”
