WOW!

If you had told me 10 years ago a deadpool movie would make more money opening weekend than a movie with spider man and iron man I would have said you were insane!


Am I doing this right?:troll:

Yup to all of this. I liked it more than the first because the backhalf is strong but the first act is slow and weird. Felt the same way about atomic blonde tho so I think that’s a sign of the director
Could be. Like that scene from when cable first fights deadpool at the prison to it then jumping to the next scene talking to tj Miller felt sloppy like there was some connective tissue missing. The whole time watching I was just like this feels weird and chopped up. The scenes just weren’t flowing. Felt very unnatural until that part then the movie clicked and ran smooth

Weekend Box Office: 'Deadpool 2' Topples 'Infinity War' With $125M U.S. Bow, $301M Globally

The sequel doesn't match the opening of the first 'Deadpool' in the U.S., but launches to a record $176 million overseas

Superheroes continued to dominate the box office over the weekend as Ryan Reynolds and Fox's Deadpool 2 bowed to $125 million domestically and $301 million globally after scoring the biggest foreign debut ever for an R-rated title.

After falling off more than expected on Saturday, the sequel couldn't match the North American opening of the first Deadpool, which launched to $132.4 million in February 2016, the best showing in history for an R-rated title. Nevertheless, Deadpool 2 still scored the third-best domestic bow of the year to date behind fellow superhero tentpoles Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther, as well as the No. 2 launch ever for an R-rated film. It is also Fox's second biggest weekend opening in history behind Deadpool.

Overseas, Deadpool 2 rocketed to $176 million from 81 markets, Fox's biggest opening of all time internationally — and that's without China, where the film doesn't yet have a release date. X-Men: Days of Future Past was the previous Fox champ ($174 million), while Fox's Logan had been the record holder for biggest foreign bow for an R-rated movie ($160 million).

Playing in a total of 4,349 theaters in North America — the widest release in Fox history — Deadpool 2 was frontloaded. It earned a massive $18.6 million in Thursday-evening previews, followed by $53 million on Friday, the top opening day for an R-rated pic. Like Deadpool, the sequel earned an A CinemaScore from audiences. The film skewed male (61 percent), while a pleasing 38 percent of ticket buyers were under the age of 25.
Deadpool 2, directed by David Leitch, follows the irreverent Deadpool (Reynolds) as he forms an X-Force posse in hopes of stopping the evil Cable (Josh Brolin). Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison, Zazie Beetz, T.J. Miller, Brianna Hildebrand and Jack Kesy co-star. Reynolds produced the sequel and co-wrote the script with his Deadpool collaborators Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.

"The audience's appetite for Merc with the Mouth hasn't waned at all," says Fox domestic distribution chief Chris Aronson. "And Ryan Reynolds was tireless in promoting this movie on a global basis."

The foreign opening was up 7 percent when comparing like markets to like markets, while Deadpool 2 came in 5.5 percent behind Deadpool's domestic debut. (The first film bowed over the long Presidents Day/Valentine's Day weekend.) Offshore, the U.K. led with $18 million, followed by South Korea ($17 million), Russia ($11.8 million), Australia ($11.7 million) and Mexico ($10.1 million).

Deadpool 2 — which hit theaters as the Fox film empire prepares for the Disney/21st Century Fox merger — easily toppled Disney and Marvel's superhero mashup Infinity War from the top spot. The latter pic was no slouch, however, grossing $28.7 million in its fourth weekend to finish Sunday with a North American total of $595 million and topping the $1.8 billion mark worldwide.

Overseas, Infinity War earned another $84.4 million, fueled by another $53.7 million in China for a foreign total of $1.218 billion and global haul of $1.813 billion, the No. 4 gross of all time. In China, the film cleared the $300 million mark, a feat accomplished by only three other Hollywood titles. Paramount's hit horror film A Quiet Place also made noise in China with an opening of nearly $18 million, bringing that movie's global total to $296.5 million (many think the China debut will end up closer to $19 million).

Thanks in large part to the strength of Deadpool 2 and Infinity War, domestic revenue was up a staggering 64 percent over the same weekend last year, when new openers included Alien: Covenant.

:wow:

Watch Disney come through and mess it up :mjlol:
Don't worry breh. 20 years ago they released R rated movies with a different studio. Before they shut down that studio because they didn't want to release R rated movies anymore. :troll:

But maybe they will release them again I hope. :manny:

Theyre far more likely to just toss everything and make it all pg 13 but maybe they won't. :patrice:

It's funny Drew Goddard was originally going to be doing the sinister six film. Now he's supposed to be doing x force. And he may not get to do either :mjcry:

Well if it doesn't work out maybe DC can let him pick a project that will never get made as well.
