This is embarrassing. How can they not push it to 200m? 

 

What will they get out of it. It's not like it will make news. If it were close to some worthy land-mark like highest grossing bond film or smth, they would push it for the headlines and whatever follows. But now no one except those who track bo will care. Disney would have gotten it past for sure..lol..like they did with Tangled.

Remember back in mid-December, when boxoffice.com put out their long-range forecast for this weekend, which said 76 for Deadpool and 24 for Zoolander? And everyone said "what are they smoking?" and everyone said they were too high for Deadpool and too low for Zoolander.

 

Well turns out it was the opposite. They were too low for Deadpool and too high for Zoolander.

Spectre came out on Blu-Ray this week, it won't reach 200M.

 

There are movies before that were still running in theaters even with Blu-Ray/DVD being released.

 

Didn't stop those from earning a bit of small extra cash.

Disney didn't pushed Gnomeo & Juliet to the 100M. Never forget that

Yup, they clearly made it on purpose to not reach the 100M mark.

Make no mistake, this is not a superhero movie, this is a comedy first and foremost.

I think Disney's having too much fun with Netflix to deal with a theatrical release for the first two.

 

Yeah, the only time we'll see Daredevil or Punisher pop up on the big screen is if they have a cameo in an Avengers or Spider-Man movie. The tv shows on Netflix are a huge success, and there's no shortage of other characters Marvel can put on the big screen. Daredevil and Punisher will stay on Netflix for years. (And seriously, would you rather get 13 hours every year, or 2 hours every 2-3 years?)

Yep, The Martian was released on VOD in December. It played in 100 theaters as recently as last week.

Na, this is a anti-hero movie with comedy. Then again superhero is all up to how you view what is "hero' is. Some will agree with you and other disagree.

This reminds me when Deadpool was hired to kill Gambit and Gambit pay him off. He paid him two times what he was paid to kill him.

 

Got to love how Gambit can get out of trouble even when it's Deadpool.

Let's not forget that we have already had THREE R-Rated Punisher movies, all varying degrees of shit.

So many kids at my showing this morning. All the way down to 5-6.

Yes but only one had Dolph Lundgren   

 

but I get your point   

[Blankments]

So I just woke up, and looked at the forums on my phone as I typically do to ease myself into waking up. As soon I saw that Deadpool number, I ran to my computer, turned on the light and am wide awake.

 

It's rare that a movie exceeds Rth's final projection, but even more so... I can't believe we're gonna have a 100M R-rated opener. Let alone an original superhero movie opening at over 100M. This is a day that'll live on in box office history. It's insanity in the best way, and I'm glad I'm actually available to be on the forums this weekend.

 

I'l also be contributing to Deadpool's gross tonight
