I don't think Sony has "Tom" around touching any part of Spider-Man and thank god
I think Amy Pascal (might have the name flubbed) is handling the IP with Marvel helping out
Its a Sony film but Marvel doing everything to fix the mess Sony created, only thing is Sony has last word on everything...
When xaosslug posts the worldwide chart, you will notice a lot of Chinese films on the list. They had a pretty crazy week thanks to the Lunar New Years. Three films made over $100M in their first 7 days, and Stephen Chow's newest film, The Mermaid has made a record $274M in 7 days.
That would rank third on the domestic 7-day chart, beating The Avengers' first week. The Mermaid will definitely be the first film to gross $400M in a foreign territory, and will probably be the first film to break $500M in a foreign territory.
Kung Fu Panda 3 continues to do well there, if under expectations, hitting $129M as of today.

I don't know. Good ol' Nic Cage salted that franchise pretty much forever.

"You think maybe we should just adapt these stories to be tonally faithful, if not just straight up textually faithful?"
"You mean like, have the characters look and act like the ones from the books?"
"Yeah, have them behave in the ways that made them popular enough for us to consider making a movie about them."
"Hmmm..."
"..."
"....naaaaaaah, just add blood, tits, & cusswords to what we've got on the slate. The kids, they like the R-rating!"
"On it!"
Yeah, was gonna say basically the same thing.

But those are series, I want one-shot productions of characters that can be told
I highly anyone wants to sit through 12-15 episodes of Ghost Rider procedural or done shit
Rather have Marvel give me a chunk of 2 hour goodness rather than a stretched out storyline which some Marvel characters don't need

I also want to wonder what small percentage of this gross is parents who didn't realize that they were taking their kids to see a hard-R rated movie. This happened to my 10 year old cousin, who got taken with a group of his friends by a friend's mom to see Deadpool. Needless to say, she was embarrassed at her mistake and now a bunch of 10 year olds know what
.
Ryan Reynold/Deadpool's penis looks like
Cross post from the Deadpool opening day thread:
Deadpool with the same legs as Watchmen would make $263M domesetic.
Deadpool with the same legs as X-Men Origins: Wolverine would make $285M domestic.
Deadpool with the same legs as Man of Steel would make $305M domestic.
Deadpool with the same legs as Age of Ultron would make $324M domestic.
Deadpool with the same legs as Days of Future Past would make $348M domestic.
Deadpool with the same legs as The Winter Soldier would make $369M domestic.
Deadpool with the same legs as Ant-Man would make $425M domestic.
Deadpool with the same legs as Guardians of the Galaxy would make $477M domestic.
I think that gives us an idea of the possible range for Deadpool's domestic total. With a $135M opening, less than $250M is impossible, and less than $300M is improbable unless the film was a one weekend wonder.
If I had to guess right now, I'd say that somewhere between $325-375M domestic is a likely endpoint, but we could see the film get higher than that if holds are good in light of weak competition in coming weeks. The Passion of the Christ still holds the Rated-R domestic record at around $380M. American Sniper is the only other R-rated film to ever break $300M domestic.

I see the new Xmen, featuring Jennifer Lawrence in her sleep, with a bunch of teens in black thight leather outfits, and I think there is more left to Mourn.

Makes wonder if this have any impact on Fox's other similar project, The seemingly overbudget Gambit movie, I imagine it'll still be PG 13 though it may give them a pause for thought, seeing as how R-rated has shown to be very viable. They may even push for the same slot again.
It's be fun to watch. My dream is for DC to green light a DV8 movie.
It's like teen titans with less statutory rape and more killing
I'm not a fan of Singer myself, but at least he doesn't rush productions to completion just to grudge-fuck someone else.

I'm also pretty shocked at this one. Being legitimately good with outstanding word of mouth, as well as having the weekend pretty much entirely to itself likely helped a lot here. If you're male and looking to go to the movies this weekend, your choices that aren't "deadpool" are fucking abysmal.
Hollywood needs to seriously be rethinking its strategy of piling action films in the may-july block on top of each other. Clearly fans will absolutely show up for a good movie in january, february, march, etc.

Holy shit.
At one point it was estimated at around $60 million for excellent opening weekend. This essentially pulled a Jurrassic World and completely destroyed all box office OW expectations, $135 million is absolutely insane.

That's already starting to happen. BvS would have never been a March film a few years ago.

You think DC might reshuffle Suicide Squad into a R rating?
Guessing that would require re-shoots?
I mean I still remember New Line Cinema and Blade series, fucking Wesley Snipes has to mess up a good thing ;(

Ghost Rider tried that and look what they got. Plus the money ain't right. Netflix shows are cheaper and build acclaim at the expense of merchandise

Isn't that exactly where the money is.

I was at San Diego Comic-Con last year when the very first Deadpool trailer debuted for the very first time. I had pretty good seats.
As the trailer was coming to an end, and the biggest ballroom in the entire convention center was ROARING its approval as loudly as I've ever heard there, I glanced towards the stage beneath the massive screen.
Ryan Reynolds was hugging Tim Miller and almost shaking him. It was still dark in the room and so I don't think anyone else noticed or was MEANT to, but it SCREAMED relief and joy and validation. I think RR and Tim Miller were probably worried and anxious, but in that moment, as the crowd was going fucking crazy, it was all worth it to them.
People wanted something different. The MCU has felt really same-y minus maybe Winter Soldier and Guardians.
Yeah that is why you see Marvel characters on everything when their movies drop.

I'd be shaking too if my ticket to the hollywood A-list just got handed to me.
They can't bring out merchandise?
1) Avengers
2) Age of Ultron
3) Iron Man 3
4) The Dark Knight Rises
5) The Dark Knight
6) Spider-Man 3
7) Deadpool
EDIT: Iron Man 2 opened to $128M. Man of Steel opened to $129M including Thursday previews (which were counted separate back in 2013, but are now included in opening weekends).

So that quote I read about it being the best DEBUT for a solo character seems true.
Yeah they could line Disney Stores with Kung Fu action Kilgrave with Smell-o features.
Isn't deadpool's OW inflated due to opening on Presidents' Day weekend? Would require insane legs to reach that.

Well Nic Cage is gonna Nic Cage
I mean if they can reboot it back to a more grittier version with substance it can take off
I just want a good R rated Marvel universe to run along the goodie PG-13 versions
Give me R Rated The Defenders using Avengers formula

Pretty funny considering all the worry about Hugh Jackman retiring from Wolverine, and Fox has just struct it's next big name, even if Gambit is a flop, overall the endeavour seems worthwhile for them.
What I expected then. Was unsure about whether Spider-Man 3 was a higher opening than Deadpool. That is impressive.
Why would the Defenders be R rated? The only version that would work with is Dr. Druid and I doubt Marvel wants to cover rape on the big screen.
