That's fine. You can get away with so much violence. It's not like there's a character that needs to swear on there.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Yessssssssssssss
Last Year's calls for superhero fatigue were based on Age of Ultron underperforming, Ant-man being a movie about Ant-man, and the bombing of a Fantastic Four movie that everyone predicted would bomb from the release of the first set photos.
Since the release of The Avengers, Fantastic Four is the only superhero film that has failed to crack the $400M mark worldwide. Fantastic Four and the Wolverine are the only two under $500M WW.
Not even major animated films have that sort of track record any more. Superhero films aren't going anywhere. With Deadpool blowing up, this will almost certainly be the biggest year for superhero films domestically. Perhaps Worldwide as well.
It will open below this.
I'm already firing up the grill.
He's already said Apocalypse is his last X-Men film. I just hope that Deadpool's success will convince FOX to make an X-Men movie that actually embraces being an X-Men movie.
I was there. But whatever this is good news. The more folks that recognize the gem that Reynolds is the better.
Been a fan of his for half my life. Literally. Van Wilder came out 14 years ago.
X-Factor as a follow up to Cable and Deadpool would be sublime

Batman & Robin played a huge part it it.
Thats part of the reason WB does stupid shit like the BatEmbargo, because they saw that 1 awful interpretation of the character screwed them over far beyond one financially disappointing film.

Van Wilder and waiting were shit-tier comedies.
His best performances before Definitely, Maybe were his Harold and Kumar cameo, blade trinity, and smokin aces(which also wasn't that good).
He finally got to be deadpool in that shit-tier superhero film X-men wolverine origins. But they fucked over the character like no other.
He did awesome in Buried, and that's when I became a fan of him...but then he got trapped in mediocre rom-coms and miscast as hal Jordan.
Things are finally looking up, though.

Doubt it. Ya'll couldn't handle a David Ayer Rated R Suicide Squad. Fury still gives me nightmares.
I got you, b
Give him like 5 helpings. Dude was crazy.
I don't see why they would. Deadpool is performing better than any recent superhero movie not starring Iron Man; there's no particular reason to conclude that this speaks to some flaw in the X-Men movies, anymore than Captain America (which would almost certainly be on track to gross lower than Deadpool if it didn't have Iron Man) or Thor.
He's said he's open to returning, but with 20,000 Leagues set to start shooting soon they'll either have to hold off on the next X-Men a bit or else bring in another director (probably with Singer as producer, etc.).

Deadpool's success is some good vindication, especially for Reynolds.
Zoolander 2 should've come out 10 years ago, 15 years for a comedy is way too late.

Buried was good, but in terms of Reynolds I really liked the off beat black comedy The Voices from recently.
Honestly most of his other work has left me cold but he's always come across as personable in interview.
Such visionary words of analytical skill truly means he's earnt his 'Senior' in Media Analyst title there!!

Hard to say whether it's a lock.
Also hard to wrap my head around a world where Deadpool is flirting with 400 mil domestic.
The 21st Century is a wondrous, disorienting place.
Suddenly, Taylor Kitsch perks up.

So happy for Reynolds and the creative team behind this project. I've been a huge fan since Van Wilder and the man is finally getting the recognition he deserves.
It's not a lock, but it could happen. We'll have a better sense once we see how it holds up next weekend.

As someone who is sick of the formulaic Marvel superhero movies, I am happy to see something different break through to a large audience.

this is truly insane. I was rooting for this movie the whole time and i never even expected it to just explode like this. Congrats to everyone involved, Reynolds, the director, the writers, everyone else, the marketing team too, for being so passionate about this project and believing in this movie they wanted to make for like 6 or 7 years, finally getting it made and it turned out great, and then getting rewarded for it.
This should be updated with GOTG and Ant-man.
GOTG - 94.3 million
Ant-Man - $57,225,526

Every hero movie to be rated R from now on.
We should search for a building-like crow or for an entire flock of crows. I mean, one or two aren't enough for what happened here.
It needs above average drops for a superhero film to get there. Basically a 2.75x opening weekend multiplier.
Personally I think he's as perfect for Deadpool as much as Robert Downey Jr playing Iron Man or Patrick Stewart playing Proffesor X.
Going to be interesting to see how decent the legs are for this. It doesn't seem to have much competition in the coming weeks.

Good for Tim Miller, Ryan Reynolds, and the rest of that team.
Already I've seen way to many people "advising" Warner Bros. to make Suicide Squad an R. Y'know, cause Deadpool.

There's always a tremendous temptation to use an event as evidence for one's own desired result.

Gods of Egypt is coming up, beware.
I wouldn't bet on that horse
Gods of Egypt is coming up, beware.
I doubt Gods of Egypt's entire domestic will outgross Deadpool's OW. Let alone be a threat.
I know they charge more for 3D but most people I know avoid that garbage whenever possible. I'd imagine lack of 3D helps more than it hurts these days. Did Star Wars have a 3D version? The cinema I saw it in didn't offer it as far as I know.
Pardon my ignorance but this is an xmen movie? Had no idea.
Gods of Egypt is coming up, beware.
That will make the zoolander 2 opening weekend look like the force awakens.

Maybe if they're lucky they'll make back the budget opening weekend.Gods of Egypt is coming up, beware.
The budget for the $10 million Superbowl spot that is
Gods of Egypt is coming up, beware.
When will studios realize all movies like this flop?
Gods of Egypt's entire domestic run might not even outgross Deadpool's opening day.
Wrath of the Titans had a 33m opening weekend. Woud be surprising if Gods of Egypt clears that by much.Gods of Egypt is coming up, beware.
Or at all.
