It might be worth looking at Kingsman's legs from last year for an idea of how Deadpool will play out for the rest of February/March.

I don't know how useful it is. Kingsman did over 3x its 4-day opening. If variety is in the right ballpark with their $130M 4-day opening, Deadpool would make close to $400M with the same legs.

zoolander 1 wasnt even a good movie. idk why neogaf or the internet liked it. So 2 should perform worse really.

Deadpool becomes Iron Man in the FOX universe. He will carry the other slackers to new heights.

So when Deadpool inevitably pops up in the next next X-Men film... it'll have to be PG13.


ugh

I wonder what Fox's reaction will be when their $58 million dollar R-rated comedy by a first time director outgrosses their actual X-men tentpole PG-13 blockbuster with a $200 million (I'm guessing?) budget directed by their darling Bryan Singer.

"Deadpool and the X-Men" coming in 2019 directed by Bryan Singer.

 

[Son Of D]

For those who want to see Kingsman's legs. If Deadpool does in fact have legs like that then it'll be one of 2016's biggest successes I'd say.

I dunno that the numbers being ridiculous makes it not useful, though. Same time period, same style of film, appears to be similar critical receptions and word of mouth. Even has a much bigger superhero film opening in March to compete with.

Lotta that seems to line up. Might be worth keeping an eye on it.

 

[vinnygambini]

The next 2 week of openers are pretty barren so Deadpool should maintain its first place.

Unless Gods of Egypt performs well

The studio will definitely have more money to include more X Men in the sequel.

The sequel's gonna be Cable & Deadpool, and the sequel to that is gonna be X-Force.

I'd bet the mainline X-Men series will take a little break after Apocalypse.

 

[BronsonLee]

Well damn. Deadpool cleaning house. Much bigger than I expected it to be. I was thinking maybe $150m final domestic, but it will be there real fast after this weekend. Insane.

Get ready for a flood of newcomers or lurkers in next week's thread. And many trying to do crow threads or posts.

Maybe the title can play on two words that Bobby hates. "Deadpool is no jobber, as Zoolander bombas!"

Fuck. I hate crow posts. That shit is dumb.

I do wholly enjoy anything that irritates Bobby though. Jobberjobberjobberjobber

SHUT UP FOOL. YOU AND YOUR DAMN JIBBA-JABBA

I guessed you missed it but I was just doing a parody of one of the lines from the movie where he breaks the 4th wall.

As for how this lines up with the X Men. I really wonder what they're doing to do about that since Deadpool and Gambit(I presume) will take place in the present while the current X-Men movie will be is still stuck in the past(in the 80s). I know they got these hot young crew of X Men to lead the future of the franchise. But unless they want to make them 40-somethings right away, the franchise will stay stuck in the past.

Sadly, you know it is coming. And we best prepare ourselves for when BvS and Civil War open.

At least we can move past the superhero fatigue conversations.

Like Nintendo is always on the verge of death, superhero fatigue is always on the verge of kicking in.

I think Kingsman was more of a slow burn while Deadpool definitely had more hype going in and already had a fanbase previous to this film. It may have a larger % of its total during OW because of that.

That being said I get why you're comparing the two.

Crow posts are just silly. People got shit wrong, SUPPLIES

I'm gonna just burrow into the earth until they're both out of theaters.

 

[3N16MA]

Crow is old news. I like pigeon posts.

Let's always remember the basis for that discussion was a movie that ended up being the 7th highest grossing film of all time worldwide.

 

[Jeffolation]

I was hoping Deadpool was going to open domestically to around 40-50 million so it wouldn't bomb. Really happy to be very wrong.

Singer shouldn't be allowed anywhere near Deadpool. I really hope Apocalypse is his last X-Men movie. He had a great run and I appreciate his contributions to the franchise but I don't want him to touch any stories set in the present day.

Unless Gods of Egypt performs well

hahahahaha

Wow, -11% for SW? Good hold for Revenant too.
