He really is. I was thinking that same thing last night. WHen you think of Deadpool you'll always think of Ryan Reynolds now. That's a good thing but say years down the road if they ever have to recast it's going to suck for whoever has to fill his shoes.
I know that feel. I work at an IMAX attached to a museum, so many used diapers just left everywhere. People are trash.
EDIT: And yeah, pissing on the floor is common...
Tragedy of the commons.

Wait really? You're kidding right? You have to be kidding about that.

Going to see it in a few hours, really excited. Read the script years ago, and basically determined that
1. it was just about a perfect Deadpool movie script and was incredibly faithful to the character
2. because it was so faithful (as well as the R rating), it was never, ever getting out of developmental hell
and now I'm about to go see it. I'm still wrapping my mind around this thing existing, and apparently it's tripled its budget in a weekend. Man, this is awesome.

Good ole Code Orange!
I deal with a lot more kids than the usual theater because of our museum focus (hands-on science exhibits and the like). It's only happened in the theater a few times thankfully. Rest of the place? Daily, and it's not always the kids. Then you add in the people off the street using our public areas. I feel for our cleaning crew.

Wut............that's insane.
Whoever denied Deadpool's production intially can go screw themselves.
Deadpool is such a cool name huh....
Okay, what sort of deal with the devil did Ryan Reynold's make? An R-rated comedy doing that well overseas is madness.

Beats me. Just think though. If China hadn't banned this what kind of freaking numbers would we be looking at? It's nuts.
Hot damn ryan is dancing like a madman right now and pointing towards everyone told you so!
More than any other character, even Batman and Superman.
One thing this movie got right was the inner-monologue Deadpool has going at all times. You know exactly what he's thinking and you learn more about him than just about any other comic book character due to the extensive exposition.
The Batman, Superman, and Wolverine movies you never hear them talk this much and when they do say things it's generic crap like "I'm gonna stop you", "come with me", "you're safe now" etc...

It doesn't surprise me, I think people are hungry for some more adult and harder humor. But I didn't expect it do to this well, the last night showing at my theater was sold out yesterday, which is insane, that hardly happens, and the earlier screening was also packed.
Science museum?
Those are huge fucking numbers.
As much as I think Deadpool is a fun character and the movies marketing was tremendous, I think how successful this has been (and to a lesser extent: Taken, John Wick and Kingsman) has a lot to do with the market starvation on R rated action films.
Almost everything has been PG-13 for like 10-15 years now.

He's a producer too, so he's going to be making the money.

Chances of this happening with Tom Rothman at Fox?

The best part about all this is that Fox has a horrible history of trying to get too involved in their movies and fucking them up.
It was a blessing that they didn't give a fuck about this one and let them do whatever. Although that could be bad for the sequel.

lol. you mean the guy that tried to boycott the production of x-men 1 (by cutting its budget during filming by 35%, among other things), had brian singer thrown out of a 20th century fox building by security when he expressed interest in doing superman returns before x3 and is responsible for deadpool in x-men origins?
In the other thread with the Ryan Reynolds Google interview, he talks about how they actually had a social media calendar to post things.
Come to think of it, this may be the first movie in my memory that had a social media/viral presence as large as this.

This isn't all that accurate, though. The fact you're citing very recent, successful R-rated action films kinda kneecaps the idea that the market is "starved" for them.
I believe upthread it was pointed out there's been about 1-2 R-rated superhero films every year for the past 20 years, too, and even more than that if you expand that to just plain ol' Comic Book movies, period.

Sony have sabotaged themselves.
It already was tho
Yeah
I listed like four successes over the last few years, which isn't starvation - it's famine.
I guess you can include stuff like Kick-Ass, Sin City and 300 - but the vast majority of R-rated popcorn films in the last decade or more have been completely crap and utterly marginalized by PG-13 films.
It isn't 18+ everywhere though. Here in Peru, it is rated 14+ so that means any tall enough kid is going to see it no problem. Nobody respects movie ratings over here anyway.
