Deadpool 2: The Deadpool
So the tracking reported in the very OP of this thread is wrong and Zoolander will do better? Think about that.
Is this a serious post? Zoolander is a known property for one and while I didn't care for the original movie a lot of other people seemed to love it. I'd say it has much greater potential to do well than Deadpool for a variety of reasons.
Don't forget guys, FOX wanted to do a Fant4stic sequel too.
Look what happened...

Zoolander made 45 million total ....
When was the last time Ryan Reynolds had a box office success in a leading role? Van Wilder?

boxofficetheory said:From what I gather, that's all of AMC locations since they've had 344 locations as of July 2015 and Rallax was saying the chain he worked for got bought out by them a couple months ago. AMC only accounts for 6% of theaters in the US but there are nearly 5,500 theaters in the US. Deadpool is probably only going to get 3,900 theaters or so and less for previews, so let's assume there will be 3k theaters doing Thursday shows for Deadpool. 358 theaters would account for 12%. Assuming Regal uses all 565 locations, they account for 19% of theaters for previews. The ratio of AMC theaters to Regal theaters is basically 3 to 5; under that ratio Regal has sold $2,381,908 in presales. Combined they've sold $3,811,054. If this can match Ant-Man's previews that would be great since this isn't the summer. A 70M 4 day isn't out of the question.
Zoolander 2: Assuming AMC has 358 theaters, they aren't using 7. That equals 2% of their locations. If Regal doesn't use 2% of their theaters, that's 554 out of 565 locations. Putting in the 3 to 5 ratio, Regal has sold $84,141 in presales. Combined they're $134,626.
Looking at preview show times in OC. Deadpool has 105 show times, Zoolander has 52 and HTBS has 65. Ant-Man finished with 156 show times the day of release. Deadpool is selling well in IMAX, normal screens are okay. Deadpool is 2D only by the looks of it, thought Fox would have done a post conversion but looks like it is IMAX 2D and normal 2D.
There's evidence that the film is reaching beyond the fanboy set. Advance ticket sales have been strong, with Fandango reporting that "Deadpool" has been its top seller this month. It's currently out-pacing "Ant-Man" at a similar point in its sales cycle. That Marvel summer release opened to $57.2 million over its first three days.
Holy shit, I never knew this would work, but it's amazing casting. I'm now going to be disappointed when Cable is someone other than Liam Neeson.Liam Neeson as Cable please. Just whiten his hair up.
Dude, you're honestly saying this a year after Kingsman came out during this same release window and cleaned up at the box office. It was an R rated film based off a niche comic book and made more than $128M domestically. It didn't have Ryan Reynolds. Instead, it had Colin fucking Firth. Who the hell thought he could headline a movie like that?I've seen sequels to meh movies come out long after the original and clean up more than I've seen Ryan Reynolds have a major hit. I'm not stretching to make this assumption but R rated flicks of niche comicbook properties would have more of an issue making some serious dough compared to a Ben Stiller, Will Farrell and Owen Wilson sequel to a fairly well remembered comedy.
You might not agree and the box office trackers don't either but just my thoughts on the match up. Also they murder Justin Bieber in Zoolander 2 and that might bring in crowds by itself.

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson haven't been box office draws in years. Stiller's biggest movies are the Night at the Museum films. Wilson has been slumming for years. Will Ferrel has had more bombs than successes as of late.
There's no way you can honestly say -- in this day and age -- a Deadpool movie will be less successful than a niche sequel to a 15-year-old niche comedy.
Don't forget guys, FOX wanted to do a Fant4stic sequel too.

Going to blow your mind and say yes I can believe that. Though seeing those presale tickets I could see Deadpool taking number 1.
Deadpool and Cable or an X-Force movie please.
Then you're not using any sort of logic to back up your beliefs other than anecdotal evidence. Good to know.
No chance because of Cap.It would be rad if they did an adaptation of the "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" arc.
I'd love A Deadpool cameo in The Infinity War movies. Maybe during the inevitable scene of all the heroes and everyone else advancing to take the battle to Thanos and as its cutting to everyone's war face one after another then it cuts to Deadpool drinking a Margarita on a tropical beach as if nothing is up.
Deadpool is tracking for a $65 million weekend? What the hell.
Deadpool is Fox bruh.

You have given absolutely no reason why Zoolander will make more money . It's niche man, Zoolander never was big it just had a nice following , it's not a big movie. This movie isn't being carried by Ryan Reynolds name , it's the character , marketing, and tone.
I guarantee Deadpool will make double what Zoolander 2 makes .
DeadptwolI hope the deadpool sequel is literally named "Deadpool" again, just to fuck with franchises that keep doing that shit
So if this makes gangbusters as an R rating they are all of a sudden gonna switch the tone to PG-13?
I mean, they COULD Robocop it, but it seems highly unlikely.
I got this joke..... I actually really like Ryan Renolds in smaller movies. He takes on some really really weird roles.
2Dead2Pool please

"We made a lot with an R rating... but we could make SO MUCH MORE with a PG-13 rating"
we'll see. if the second movie is an R and underperforms (meaning it doesn't handily beat the first) the 3rd will be PG-13
I think they're being a little too optimistic about this movie
Different situations. They wanted to make a Fant4stic sequel months ahead of the movie's release.Don't forget guys, FOX wanted to do a Fant4stic sequel too.

This is what I said, it looks fucking god awful from the previews. I will not be contributing.
