DEADPOOL WEEKEND THREAD | Deadpool 152.193 actual. Daily breakdown on page 159

[JohnnyGossamer]

I'd assume the sneaks for Deadpool would be more frontloaded than that of 50 Shades. But, that said, it should better this weekend due to WOM. People seem to like it.

14 more X-Men spinoffs just got greenlit.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

If you consider the fact that VD is on a Sunday with President's Day further softening any potential drop, this is probably gonna stay flat or increase on Sunday. The big thing to watch is how much it drops from Friday to Saturday.

[WrathOfHan]

Maybe WB will aim to get a R rating for Suicide Squad now, it's already going to be 15 in the UK.

[Dementeleus]

Wow, damn.

[Jandrew]

I contribute this massive opening to people really wanting to see if he actually left the stove on.

[kayumanggi]

Fox right now.

 

[baumer]

This has to be one of the biggest surprises in movie history. I know its been tracking really well for the last month or so but before that no one expected to do this much.

[kayumanggi]

Can we call it the Friday thread for the time being? 

[kayumanggi]

So happy for my Derby. ^^

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

It keeps surpassing everyone's rising expectations. This could very well do $125m+ 4-day. I would say $100m 4 -day is locked.

Holy chimi-fucking-changas Batfag, can you smell the sweet smell of a $100m opening weekend? Because I can and I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO. I'm touching myself tonight, but not before watching this fucking film again, haha

[Poseidon]

This seems like huge walkup business, good sign for Deadpool in not even 3000 Theaters last night.

100m in 4 Days is a done deal, now the interesting question will be, if the movie can do it in 3 already.

Will it be? I feel like since Deadpool is such a niche character compared to...every other super-hero*, this will perform closer to an original film breaking out rather than the usual comic book adaptation.

 

*every other super-hero who's ever headlined his own film, maybe at the same level of Ghost Rider or Ant-Man.

I think last year most of us would have been impressed with a 35 million dollar opening weekend. Not a potential 35 million dollar opening day lol

I've been saying this would breakout for a good fucking while now. I feel like baumer or fucking Nostradamus right now and I'm happy as fuck, if there's a movie that deserves this happening, it's this one.

The Flixster audience score is very high at 95%.

[MrPink]

Ryan Reynolds was absorbing all the potential grosses for RIPD and Green Lantern to unleash it with his true master plan, Deadpool. A WWE esque heel turn 

[Samarus]

FOX might be the suprise winner of the superhero boxoffice battle this year.

[baumer]

This is very satisfying for me as a heterosexual Male Canadian who has a massive man crush on Ryan Reynolds.
