51 or so I think.
Yes but we all thought it even when he said careless. Spectre also had Bond chatting with a rat so there's that too.

Not surprised. Figured the actuals were going to be a bit lower than the estimates.

But not low enough for a record it seems.
So coming out of the weekend, the gap between Deadpool and BvS is now 24 million. Lol. It might be half of that or less by next weekend.

BvS doomed to forever be 2nd place to other superhero movies.

Delay JL. Cancel the universe. Do whatever has to be done, but don't let Snyder continue to drag the good names of Batman and Superman thru the mud.

That has to be the biggest surprise this year. Deadpool grossing more domestically than a Batman and Superman film.
I know it came up before, but I can't remember what came of it, but has anyone dug out the predictions for Deadpool from months ago? Was anyone remotely close to calling how successful it has been?

Deadpool could get to 370 before it leaves. Depending on next weekend's drop (the last one before Jungle Book opens huge) BvS might not do much more than 350.
Hell, it might not hit 350 now. It's not particularly likely it fails to meet that benchmark, but I think it's possible.
67%
Also, Zootopia actually went up in a lot of places.

Wow. That is already showing great legs. I wonder if it would have gone higher if it opened during the holidays.
I was having this conversation with my friends. It's baffling. It's like you have to TRY to make a film like this fail.
They have 75 years of great material to look back to! They have amazing animated material at their disposal! Why is it so difficult?
It's not going to clear $900m for sure. That might be on the low end, but it's in the cards.
WB has to be in shambles right now, can't believe they're about to start filming JL.

To be fair, none of these producers seem to seriously consider even semi-faithful adaptations of pre-existing stories.
Marvel and Fox basically just take two ideas and a title (Winter Soldier, First Class). That's as close as it gets.
It didn't deserve to. Deadpool was a fun movie that was extremely faithful to the source material.
B v S feels like a Art and Philosophy major was given unlimited funds to show us their take on the DC universe.

BvS will beat Deadpool worldwide, but not domestically.
Deadpool is now the highest grossing X-Men related film worldwide and domestic. Domestic it isn't even close.
More like an art major that took one class of philosophy.

I feel like this would be the thread if that happened.

Amazing that a year or two ago I was super hyped from a teaser with Superman glaring with glowing red eyes at a armored Batman while barely caring that an obscure comics character was getting his own movie.
Weird but i suddenly feel like some m & ms.

And also glosses over how huge the drop overseas is as well. China basically dumped the movie in favor of a popular domestic film and they don't have agreements to keep a film in for X weeks. If it does bad you get dumped.

Poor Hulk still carrying that L 13 years later.
Maybe someday, Banner.

I might have said this earlier in the thread, but at least that's not *quite* as ludicrous as his spin from last week ("doesn't take itself seriously," "it made $100 more OW than we thought possible).
Is this dry wit or are you finally seeing the light
Some fun charts to visualize the closing gap:
No way. Just... absolutely surreal. Even with my wildest hopes and predictions did I see this coming.
An R-rated superhero film starring a cult character spin-off from the critically savaged Wolverine solo film that was stuck in development hell and made on a comparably shoe-string budget with no 3D ticket prices...
...Holds better than Batman v Superman on a 2nd week where its toughest competition was a month-old talking rabbit movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2, and God's Not Dead 2.
There had to be some crazy person out there who called it.
I'm sure everyone involved with Deadpool is still going nuts over its success.
dat spin.
won't be long before they "amicably part ways" with zack snyder going forward with Justice League.
I thought the international drop was 69%?

The moral of the story is that the rabbit will win despite slacking.
Seriously though, BvS was never an ensemble movie. Its just a Superman movie that happened to feature Batman and Wonder Woman. No surptises its dropping like a rock.
Like...comparing its run with Deadpool, it was clear that Deadpool was a deadpool movie. Its why it nailed it out of the park, it never pretended to be anything more.
