Rman823 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 This is honestly the most shocked I have ever been by a movie's box office performance. It still hasn't hit me that no matter what this movie's going over 300m domestic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW was always going to be big. Admittedly we didn't know exactly how big, but the general hype towards it meant that it was hardly a massive surprise that it did very well. Jurassic World was much more of a shock and certainly a worthy competitor for biggest box office surprise, but it was still a PG-13 blockbuster released in the Summer and part of a classic blockbuster franchise that had previously broken records and wielded a lot of nostalgia. Deadpool was an R-rated Superhero movie based on a minor Marvel property, released in a fairly dead month. Until recently it was thought lucky if it went over $40m OW. It opened to more than 3 times that and smashed records for an R-rated movie. Nobody saw Deadpool doing this well. Even the most optimistic predictions didn't go over $100m OW and it beat that by $30m. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, SW was not a surprise, it made what most people expected it would make. It was actually a very predictable box office run Edited February 18, 2016 by Jessie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the most optimistic predictions didn't go over $100m OW and it beat that by $30m. Yes they were already expected to perform bigger, but they did outperform the expectations just as well too. A 250m OW, beating previous record by biggest margin ever, in Dec and a final total 330m above the reasonable expectation was every bit as surprising as Deadpool. As for JW, it was only pegged for 100m OW and 300m Dom at most. It easily made more than twice of what it was expected to even by the most optimistic predictors even just a day before, and with much bigger numbers in the play (which, I believe should also be factored in). There's no competition when it comes to JW. Maybe one can put up an argument for SW vs Deadpool but you have to factor the sheer size of numbers that were in play then. Otherwise you may end up saying that a film which made 30m OW instead of the 10m it was supposed to was a bigger surprise than a film that made 250m and beat the previous record with a record margin, that was supposed to make 160m OW. Its true predictions for SW started rising by the time its release came close but so did Deadpool's and I don't think that's supposed to be factored in anyway. If a movie which all had pegged for 100m Dom when it was announced started showing signs of 100m OW two weeks before its release, would its performance not considered surprising? And yet even if you do not take this, that would still only be an argument for DP vs SW for JW was still being predicted for just as much as ever before even a minute before its midnight numbers rolled in. Moreover there are other films like American Sniper, IO and FF7 (especially its overseas performance) from last year that can also be used to argue against this. So, yeah, Deadpool still isn't the biggest surprise even in a year just on the basis of JW alone. Edited February 18, 2016 by Infernus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
