Judging from the trailer , DP2 looks like you can just walk in even if you haven't seen the first one 

need someone who has already watched it to confirm though 

I mean you could. It doesn't rely too heavily on the first imo. The first was just an origin story explaining how he got the way he did. But there are some things in the sequel emotionally speaking that may not resonate with you if you haven't watched the first. 

[Lordmandeep]

The first was not really much of an origin story, it was more watch Deadpool do some crazy stuff lol

 

But as a result, it has appealed to people who would never really watch superhero movies. I did not like it that much but I know a lot of people who never see a DCU or MCU film who loved it. 

 

 

I am going 142 million 

TA: 28 million -55%

$0.0

Just like what happened Wednesday into Thursday at my theater, there's also been an uptick in tickets sold for today/tonight from last night. Which leads me to believe it's not as presales heavy as one would think it would be. 

 

Im gonna see if the trend continues throughout the weekend though.

I don't think you need to have seen DP1 but I think watching a bunch of other superhero movies helps a lot with the jokes.

This doesn't make sense though why say Top 10 Marvel movies and then include only OW.. Lolz

[The Panda]

18.6m is a pretty good preview number.

 

If it plays like Jurassic World that means a 200m OW!

The MCU had conviction from its inception to what it wants to achieve. There was a laid plan and they executed it. The other “shared universes”are cash grabs. Warner releases MOS, it does so-so in the box Office Mojo and then they decide to throw Batman, Wonder Woman and cameos from a gazillion characters to what was initially supposed to be MOS2 . The XCU was supposed to have a reboot with first class, the movie did average to bad at the box office so instead they suddenly bring all the old actors back, create a shitty time travelling story and (despite DOTFP success) render the xcu useless. The monster universes don’t work that well anyway, the concept just isn’t there for them.

This is pretty nonsensical when the literal original cinematic cross-overs were monster cross overs. ((Frankenstein Meets The Wolf-Man & King Kong vs Godzilla))

[Porthos]

Not quite 20m, but a very good number and much more in the ballpark I was expecting than the early 15m mooted number. 

[miketheavenger]

Previews are right where I expected them to be (maybe a tad higher). Again, opening around the first movie's gross would be really good considering that film had Valentine's Day and President's Day as a boost.

[MovieMan89]

Good preview, about what I expected too. Still think that number is about what it needed to match the first’s OW, don’t see it going much higher.

So Solo 3-day possibly less than Deadpool 2. Damn that would be an upset.

[LonePirate]

The senior crew is out in force to see this showing of Book Club I am sitting in right now. Of the 60 or so total people here so far, I think there are maybe less than 5 of us who are not receiving Social Security. This thing might hit $20M this weekend judging by the crowd size at this theater.
