Solid result.

40.5 Sat, so Fox predicting a 23% Sunday

53.3 + 40.5 + 31.2 (-22.9%) = 125.0

Quote

UPDATED, Sunday AM: 20th Century Fox’s Deadpool 2 has slowed, but not in the worst way. While many predicted yesterday morning a weekend north of $130M for the sequel, Saturday turned out to be not so high coming in at $40.5M instead of the $45M+ and that puts the sequel’s weekend estimates at $125M per Fox (some see it lower at $122M-$123M). What Deadpool 2 doesn’t have that Deadpool had is a Sunday on a four-day holiday, a lovers’ weekend no less, and that did wonders to keep numbers high. At this level, Deadpool 2 is the second highest R-Rated opening after Deadpool ($132.4M) and ahead of It ($123.4M).

That numbers puts the "dead" in "Deadpool".

No way DP2 double showings helped that much.

It shouldn't, unless you're someone who thinks we're heading into a JL type situation.  I happen to think it will come under worst-case projections because I don't believe the audience demand is there, regardless of how past SW movies perform.  All movies in a series perform predictably, until they don't.

How are Solo presales now? There was all that jazz over it beating Black Panther's first 24 hours, but there hasn't really been anything since.

 

It's unfortunate Deadpool 2 didn't grow upon Deadpool 1. I can agree about it being an acquired taste, which I thankfully have. The second film plays out more like a glorified niche film.

 

Deadpool 1 had the benefit of opening on a 4-day holiday weekend that had two holidays. Deadpool 2 didn't.

Watch Disney gonna give an estimate of 28M for IW, sticking to their much loved 40% Sun drop.

Deadpool 2 will probably do lower than 125 million.

[Zakiyyah6]

I think Deadpool will end up lower than that 125mil number.

[That One Girl]

Good result for Deadpool.  Standard 2.5x legs give it a 312M finish.  Could see it go as high as 331M.

[oMeriMombatti]

DEADPOOL 2 is numero uno. And even though it didn't quite match the OG's opening of $132M, I'm pretty sure its $125M debut will get Fox's rocks off just fine...especially when the budget was just $110M.

It's going lower than IT. $121M OW for a $260M total. 

 

Probably gonna do less than $600M WW as well since those numbers aren't too hot either. 

[sfran43]

@Sam

[CJohn]

I think it is still gonna reach 300M, even if barely.

It really doesn't surprise me that it's looking like a portion of the first movie's audience (that likely checked it out due to curiosity) is staying away from this one. I like the Deadpool movies but they're definitely an acquired taste.

The difference in reactions I have seen haven't been anyone calling the movie bad. For Deadpool, the reactions were "You have to see this, it's unlike anything else". For this, it has been "It's good, but not as good as the first one". The reactions start from a defensive place.

Could go sub-125...can't say am not a bit under-whelmed after that 18.6 preview number. Didn't expect smaller preview to ow multi than AOU's 6.9x.

 

123

10 (-65%)

12 (+20%)

9 (-25%)

8.5 (-5.5%)

= 162.5

I know, right.  I had 129.9M in the Derby.  This is just terrible.
