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

Fucking awesome.  And no 3D is the icing on top.

 

Quote

PLF screens at 465 repped 13% of Deadpool‘s FSS or $17.6M. That’s the biggest R-rated opening for the PLF format, knocking out its previous $8.7M high from American Sniper.

 

 Crazy.  I'm guessing ~12% from IMAX (hopefully we get a number tomorrow, could be lower), so around 13.5 - 14.0M tickets sold through Sunday and with 155M, 15.5 - 16.0M tickets sold through Monday.  For perspective, with a 30% RealD share on top, the same amount of tickets would be the equivalent of ~150M for the 3-day and ~175M for the 4-day.

If the estimate holds, Deadpool will have the 5th biggest Sunday ever!

And thats the thing.... If....

 

However, Deadpool strikes me as the kind of film that would have seen a rather small (10-15%) drop on Sunday regardless due to the spillover effect (note other large openers, particularly that come as a surprise) since theaters weren't prepared for this level of business and didn't have enough shows or seats.

So with that in mind - it could come in even higher but we shall see!

How does that relate to GotG2

 

 

GOTG opened big in a empty August, so Marvel put the sequel in a busier May. This isn't rocket science Ethan. Hell, the same goes for TMNT2.

Paramount should not have released R rated Z2 on the same wknd as Deadpool. They were too lose badly. Given the bad WoM, this still would do easily 60+M if ot were released in the summer. Now I can't see it even outgross the original from 13.5 years ago.

 

If Zoolander 2 was really funny it could've got Dumb and Dumber To's OW and DOM gross. (Not that I'm saying Dumb and Dumber To was funny)

 

But it will be lucky to make half.

All sequels to cultish comedies are flops, right ?

Deadpool having so much humor surely took away a lot of the audience from Zoolander. At least the adults. And those who were teens when Z1 released are well into adulthood now.

So Deadpool having the third biggest OW for a non-sequel in history isn't more shocking than American Sniper's OW? 

 

Are completely sure about that?

 

Let's call it a tie.

At the theater.  Stove is off.

This is a bigger delight to watch than TFA's numbers.

Both are incredible and surprising success stories at the box office in their own right.

 

Deadpool will have sequels and a possible DPCU though.

Well, we say that now that DEADPOOL is a hit. Give Kitsch and the other 'cursed actors' good material, they could do well.

 

Maybe they could but it's not that likely considering how rare Reynold's comeback story is in Hollywood.

So Deadpool is so big that the X-men Cinematic Universe will be named after him?

lol 90 M in just two days. Many of us didn't even have it at that number for the 4-day.

 

There are a few here who didn't think it would gross 100M at all.

It's rare because studios don't give these actors the chance. I think Jai Courtney will finally have his moment in SUICIDE SQUAD.

To be fair, with that new 135m figure I guess it's pretty damn close. American Sniper had amazing legs though which made its run a complete shocker. CBMs tend to dominate OW's, war movies don't, they are rarely high grossing blockbusters either.

I actually think it's bigger. But many will disagree. 

[kayumanggi]

Both were shocking. End of story.

JW, TFA, and DP were all amazing runs in under a year period.

 

Box office nerd bliss.

I think the Sunday and Monday estimates are more speculative than normal. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sunday's actual come in lower and Monday's higher.
