This must be the weirdest film experience I can personally remember. I consider myself a huge movie buff, I try to see everything I can, and I love movies. Before this forum, I had never even heard of Home. Ever. Not once. I hadn't seen a trailer, a poster, heard anyone mention it on any social media site... I mean my god, I've seen more interest in indie films. Was this just one of those ultimate kid flicks that if you don't actually have kids you've never heard of? Because it still confuses me to this day. 

 

I saw YouTube ads for it all the time. The marketing campaign was bigger than HTTYD2's. I assume you just don't follow animated movies.

Just for shits and giggles (I'm off today and have nothing to do), I complied the top 20 grossing R-rated films of the century adjusted to the 2015 price of $8.43. So far, the 2000's were far kinder to R flicks than this decade. 

 

1. The Passion of the Christ - $502.6 million

2. The Matrix Reloaded - $393.6 million

3. American Sniper - $361.3 million

4. The Hangover - $311.7 million

5. Gladiator - $299.6 million

6. Wedding Crashers - $275.2 million

8. 300 - $258.1 million

9. Hannibal - $245.9 million

10. Scary Movie - $245.6 million

11. Ted - $231.7 million

19. Knocked Up - $182.3 million

20. Troy - $181.1 million

 

 

Wow....most of those I don't like at all.   Of the ones I do like, none of them would get within shouting distance of Deadpool for me.

[Maxmoser3]

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

Just talking about the geek films.

 

...What do you consider to be a "geek" film? Any sci-fi or fantasy film?

[The Panda]

Deadpool also opened higher than the Matrix Reloaded adjusted, nice.

Um.

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.

Holy shit Deadpool's been rated over 100,000 times on IMDB and it's still at an 8.7/10

Well I watch almost every Pixar movie, I saw Minions, I certainly don't ignore animated films. I'm a big fan of Hayao Miyazaki, too. 

 

I just never heard of Home at all. No idea why. It's weird as I usually hear of anything that does well. Somehow went through the cracks.

[FranMan]

I wonder how much of a boost Deadpool's success would give to Apocalypse, and even to Civil War by extension of the Marvel brand, since a fair few of the GA don't know any better.

And the "hate index"(the % of 1's) is pretty low for what I thought would be a polarizing violent SH film: 1.1%. Watchmen sits at 2.2%. TDK 1.6%.
