I’m sure @Ithil didn’t mean too. But sorry man. Let’s blame Taika for this mess. 

I didn’t mean to post IW spoilers either, but you know how that turned out

Deadline has an analysis of how studio comedies need to be fresh and mix up genres. Deadpool, Spy, and Central Intelligence are used as examples, and they think The Happytime Murders might breakout: http://deadline.com/2018/05/ryan-reynolds-deadpool-2-weekend-box-office-opening-1202393815/

 

 

Comedies just need to be funny, look at how leggy Game Night was.

Did you do something shady around then? Cause considering the timing of that ban and how IW weekend shaped up, it seemed like karma was out to get you by preventing you from enjoying and gloating about it lol.

Kudos to you! Someone’s gotta do it to help balance out and prevent Taika from getting an inflated ego due to the daily blinded love fanmails he got from @aabattery 

 

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.

Of all recent MCU movies that opened in May, Deapool’s Saturday drop (assuming high end 43) is closest to Civil War 19.32 vs 18.9

 

Deadpools jump from true Friday (23.9%) is also relatively close to Civil Wars (21.2%). 

 

Civil War fell 30.7% on Sunday so I think Deadpool will have a fall closer to 30 than to 20. But even with a 20% drop 130m will be barely achieved. So I think 130 is unlikely at this point. 

 

Dp2 also had a preview to OD multi of 2.86 which is smaller but very close to that of Civil War at 3.02. 

 

Assuming DP falls 25% on Sunday then it will have an OW of 128.5 and a preview to OW multi of 6.9 vs 7.1 of Civil War. Even their OD to OW multi will be very close with DP2 at 2.41 and CW at 2.39. 

 

Now CW was one of the most frontloaded MCU movie on its OW and the most frontloaded of all MCU movies in its entire run. Its not a good sign for DP’s legs that it is following CW so closely

RIP 130M.

 

That Saturday number is meh.

[SpiritComix]

Scott Derrickson did a pretty good job with Doctor Strange. Good origin story,  good characters, great visuais, really good ideias, etc.

 

General audiences liked the movie, critics and fans too.

 

It's my favorite solo superhero movie debut of 2015, 2016 and 2017

You make an excellent job with numbers ... but I have to admit that sometimes I get a bit lost in the middle and just jump straight to the end line conclusion

I like Cap and Widow as friends. I don't want a romance between them. Of course the Hulk and Widow thing was a disaster brought to us by Whedon's obsession with putting his tough petite heroines in relationships with literal monsters. Dear god do I HATE that forced relationship.

It says something that for me anyway, Vision and Scarlet Witch in their IW scene I bought more as a couple than I ever did Hulk/BW in all of AOU’s runtime

[Nova]

Given that preview to OD that it had, I'll take that DP2 Saturday. It's not going to come close to the R record which sucks but I'm hoping it can still make a nice little run at the box office

I don't think any couple in the MCU has really had much chemistry with the exception of Tony/Pepper sometimes and maybe Steve/Peggy (and Steve/Bucky I guess?)

Thor and Mjölnir.

 

 

[WrathOfHan]

Deadpool:

 

53.3M

43M (-19%)

34.4M (-20%)

130.7M Weekend

 

There's still plenty of time for Saturday to go up too.

 

IW:

 

7.2M

13M (+81%)

10.4M (-20%)

30.6M Weekend, 51% drop

 

[Darth Lehnsherr]

I like Peter Quill and Gamora

[Sam]

I think DP2 is in good position for decent multi. Solo is not direct competition, and it has lower than expected buzz, so the Memorial Day holiday drops will be favorable to DP2 second weekend. Its third weekend also has no big releases. After that, summer weekdays kick in.

 

I think Logan’s 2.55x multi is a good target. Would put it way up there in terms of legs for X-Men sequels.

‘It seems you had a very intimate relationship with this hammer.’

[MovieMan89]

It's gonna be oh so sweet when IW ends up with the best multi out of itself, DP2, Solo, and JW. 

[KJsooner]

Outside of Tony/Pepper.

 

Best chemistry was T’Challa/Nekia

[B D Joe]

Moving to summer didn't seem to help Deadpool 2 very much.
