Movies DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE (Highest-Grossing R-rated Film of All Time; Dragonlord's Review, post #1)

[Dizzy]

Best Marvel movie since Endgame, or at least the most entertaining for me. It was fucking hilarious from start to finish. Very thankful I had no spoilers coming in, it’s a movie that needs to be seen as fresh as possible.

 

[Staph infection]

I really liked the opening fight.

Also nice that showed they Wolverine as Patch and from Age of Apocalypse.

Cassandra Nova actress is a pretty girl.

Always love to see Morena

Girl? They go by they, please refer to them properly.

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Lands 8th Biggest Opening of All Time and Makes R-rated History with $211 Million for a $444.1 Million Global Debut

The Merc with the Mouth is back on the big screen and he’s a marvel. Directed by Shawn Levy in close collaboration with franchise mastermind and star Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool & Wolverine opened to a record-shattering $211 million at the domestic box office, landing the eighth biggest opening of all time among any film and by far the biggest launch for an R-rated film, not adjusted for inflation. The first Deadpool was the previous record-holder at $133.7 million.

The movie also shattered records on a global scale, opening to $233.1 million internationally for a worldwide start of $444.1 million.

Heading into the weekend, the threequel — which returns Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool and brings Jackman into the franchise as Logan/Wolverine — was expected to open to $160 million to $175 million, which were already huge numbers for a movie with the restricted rating.

Among additional records domestically, the film is the top opening ever for Reynolds, Levy and Jackman and the fifth-biggest superhero launch. It’s also the biggest July opening of all time, the biggest opening of 2024 so far and the biggest launch since Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021.

Globally, it’s the biggest opening since Avatar: The Way of the Water.

Deadpool & Wolverine is the first R-rated movie released by Disney and puts Kevin Feige’s Disney-owned Marvel on the road to recovery after a rough patch. The movie’s performance was fueled by strong reviews, stellar exits and a 97 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, the second-best score ever for a Marvel film behind Sony and Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The first Deadpool made history when opening to $133.7 million domestically in February 2016, proving that a superhero pic could draw big crowds despite the restrictive rating. A little more than two years later, Deadpool 2 debuted to $125.5 million.

Feige’s Marvel took over the Deadpool franchise when Marvel’s parent company Disney swallowed up 20th Century Fox, which had rights to the X-Men universe of characters.

Deadpool 3 wasn’t the only headline for Disney’s film empire. Pixar’s Inside Out 2 — already the biggest animated film of all time globally — passed up fellow Pixar title Incredibles 2 in North America to become the biggest animated film of all time domestically with a cume of $613.4 million. Its worldwide tally is now $1.5 billion.

Damn over 200 million.

Need to see this soon...spoilers after monday gonna suck. Already saw 2 cameo spoilers without social media.

 

[Streeter]

What's wrong with Paw Patrol ?

 

[GearSolidMetal]

What's wrong with Paw Patrol ?

A 24 hour marathon of it.



Not exactly intellectually stimulating entertainment.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Damn over 200 million.

So far.

Its not even the end of the weekend.

Very possible it could hit 300 million by Monday evening.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

The movie also shattered records on a global scale, opening to $233.3 million internationally for a worldwide start of $438.3 million.

Scratch my previous post.
So its madr $438 million worldwide as of the writing of this article?

I predicted in the 'Is Deadpool/Wolverine going to be the biggest movie of the year' thread its definitely going to shatter the previous R-rated boxoffice record of Joker's (2019) which had $1 Billion + $29 Million total.

Inside Out 2 has the current boxoffice record for the year at $1.5 Billion. If Deadpool/Wolverine beats that.... holy shit... the MCU is back and in a BIG way. Actually beating that record is irrelevant, just being a $1.2+ billion boxoffice would be HUGE.

The MCU has been on dire straits ever since Endgame, with many losing interest in everything after it... with the exception of Spiderman No Way Home.
If Endgame was the series finale, then No Way Home was the epilogue for many.

With the recent announcements about Avengers 5 & 6, this signals Disney is going balls out with the MCU instead of it being cancelled.

It's a great number but 1.5 would be a daunting number for an R-rated film.

 

[Fluffernutter]

Went to a 10:30am showing with my son.

It was heavily attended even at that time.

 

[The Clinch]

Word is both Reynolds & Jackman wanna do a movie with Holland's Spider-Man.

I think there is no way in hell those 3 plus Evans as Cap and RDjr don't meet in the later Avengers film in some scene (but Im thinking could be Tobey).

Now a full team up movie with Spidey? Not sure, I feel like there is a bigger chance they use one of the other spideys and leave Holland to continue his story.

 

[The Don]

I absolutely loved it. Hugh Jackman in my opinion is the perfect casting for Wolverine, even more so now that he's a little older. Kind of bummed out that we didn't get to see the true potential of Wolverine sooner. Had the X-Men IP been in the right hands a lot sooner, we would probably had more great movies from them.

 

[Satur9]

Saw it last night. My son and myself both give it about a 6.5.

Story all over the place. No real imposing villain or sense of urgency. Just discombobulated.

Good fight scenes, some funny scenes with the dog and handsomepool or whatever. That scene where Wolvie was supposed to look cool, I laughed…

Spoiler

magic mikes character looked ridiculous too. Kind of disappointed

 

[Peteyandjia]

Spoiler

magic mikes character looked ridiculous too.

I kinda thought that too. But then the movie itself literally made fun of that, as I was thinking it. And I was like, Oh. This is what we're doing here. I haven't seen a Deadpool movie before, so I wasn't used to that.

Ended up being one more laugh during the movie for me, amongst a sea of them.

It was definitely funny. I laughed at many a scene, I just can’t get over a feeling of overall disappointment. Something was missing. Maybe the lack of a real villain. It was all just… Idk really… just lacking in substance for me. Still, not a bad little popcorn flick that I’ll forget in a week or so.

 

[MDoza]

This movie had a few entertaining scenes, and the occasional funny line.

It’s not “a good movie” though.

6/10

Probably the worst of the three Deadpool films.
