This film will probably tank. Open Road Films is the next Relativity.

The Witch could actually do 10 million OW?

A breakout movie is a film that exceeds expectations and probably has a modest budget at best. Also a breakout film isn't one that was expected to be a smash anyway. A breakout film is something like The Hangover, American Sniper, Ted, or Deadpool. Guardians Of The Galaxy can be considered a breakout but it's really a film that exceed expectations. A breakout movie is a film that no one expects to do huge. Breakouts usually happen every once in a while(like a couple times a year).

The Fast franchise started off solid nearly 15 years ago solid opening right in the middle of summer 2001 with nothing really big in June that year besides Shrek making money, Swordfish and the others making decent to flop numbers. 2 Fast 2 Furious was at the starting point of the large amount of sequels being released in the summer back in 2003, but earned less than the original but was an overall profit for Universal. Tokyo Drift was at a point when we started seeing these Fast & Furious rip-offs like Biker Boyz and Red Line (both flopping), and also Tokyo Drift wasn't appealing to an audience because it felt like a reboot. Fast & Furious came out with sucessful timing, nothing big coming out around the spring of 2009 and bringing back the old cast. Fast Five was the beginning of Universal's strong marketing for the franchise, from its marketing(I think super bowl 45 had it advertised) to something different to its release date to having the addition of The Rock. Fast & Furious 6 had an excellent release date Memorial Day 2013, and the fun Super Bowl spot. Furious 7 had a good release date, and was released at a time when Paul Walker had passed away nearly 2 years before the release and its marketing with the cars in Abu Dhabi going into buildings. Part 8 is going to be one of those entries where it's going to decrease about $115 million less than the last movie. A perfect example for this would be The Dark Knight Rises. Spectre not so much, Spectre was a film that had marketing where it felt like "eh?" Compared to Skyfall.

Deadpool is a really good movie. I'm very excited to see its results and it's about time R-rated films aren't looked at weird anymore.

This February could turn out overall decent. Deadpool could also be a solid holdover in March as well.

Also I wonder if studios can stick with more modest budget superhero fare.

Solid weekend! Deadpool performed way ahead of already decent expectations and broke records this weekend! Deadpool broke the R-rated OW debut which was held by The Matrix Reloaded back in the summer of 2003. The winter and february records by Fifty Shades Of Grey and American Sniper. Among many many other records including the best debut for Fox, the best debut for the X-Men franchise, and the best debut for Ryan Reynolds. Deadpool should hold on well for the next several weeks and should get to at least 300 million. While in a distant second place fellow Fox release Kung Fu Panda 3 was close to 100 million this weekend and managed to hold up after a large drop last weekend. With overseas still doing strong, Kung Fu Panda 3 should end its run around 130 million. While Deadpool passed Fifty Shades Of Grey's OW record from last year, Fifty Shades co-star Dakota Johnson's romantic comedy How To Be Single was off to a ok start, while it wasn't close to About Last Night or The Other Woman this was still an alright start considering it has a limited audience the film could be front-loaded either way. But still How To Be Single could end its run around 50 million. Zoolander 2 was bleh in comparison to Deadpool and the "cult" status of the first movie. But Zoolander 2's OW was just slightly ahead of the first movie's debut back in 2001(although the first film had better attendance) and Zoolander 2 debuted higher than The Watch, and Hall Pass but less than The Internship and Night At The Museum 3. With poor word of mouth and depending on the holds. Zoolander 2 should make 40 million domestic.

Exciting results for Deadpool!

The R-rating is a mixed at the box office. January and February are no matter what the kings of this now then second being possibly the summer.

Really good movie! Really enjoyed the cast Ryan Reynolds kicks ass! Lots of good humor and funny references. The soundtrack is great! Enjoyed the characters really good movie my favorite movie of this year(along with Dirty Grandpa). Grade:B+(89)/A-(90).

Fox used a fun marketing campaign for Deadpool that was way better than the X-Men movies. How To Be Single is a hit on it's own because it's a comedy aimed at females and Rebel Wilson isn't really a full draw. Zoolander 2's performance shows that even if your movie has talk on Twitter or "hype" doesn't mean a hit. Also it was an unnecessary sequel.

I think I had oddly thought this was going to break records starting this past Sunday.

February 19-21 (openers only): Risen:17 million, Race:11.7 million, The Witch:1.7 million.

Hey it's their parents they can let their kids see whatever they want to see.

Deadpool's results are amazing! I predicted 150 million domestic for it that was decent.

Zoolander just had the "cult audience" which isn't fully mainstream. Jurassic World was a film that was in Development Hell for years and with Chris Pratt's popularity that helped the film as well. Plus the marketing was fantastic.

R-rated Wolverine?

I wonder if drive-ins in the summer will have X-Men Apocylpse and Deadpool as a double feature.

This is going to be an exciting weekend!

The R-rated OW record could happen.

Zoolander 2 might open around 13-15 million for the 3-day.
