‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Looking To Slash Box Office Records With $200M+ Opening

EXCLUSIVE: Disney/Marvel Studios‘ Deadpool & Wolverine hit six week tracking this morning and, man, does it look amazing. The Quorum, which actually monitors pics six weeks ahead, is reporting a projection of $200M-$239M, which the service actually believes is conservative.
Let’s give this an asterisk: There has never been an R-rated movie before that has opened to $200M, and by the Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman threequel busting that sphere, it will be an anomaly. The current record for an R-rated opening at the domestic box office is owned by the original Deadpool which posted $132.4M back in February 2016. Even if Deadpool & Wolverine comes in at $150M (keep in mind, it’s not clear if the younger Disney Marvel Studios parents/fans realize this is R-rated), it will still rep the biggest opening for both Reynolds (beating Deadpool) and Jackman (besting X-Men: The Last Stand‘s $103M). At that level, it will also be the highest opening of the summer, besting even this weekend’s anticipated $100M start for Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2.

I don’t think it will break 200m but I think it will do very very well. Most things made today are totally garbage and this movie actually looks like fun. Ryan Reynolds’s and Hugh Jackman are loved in these roles. I predict 175m opening and over a 90 day run in theatres because they’re close to all going bankrupt.

Haven't been to the theater in a year or so, but there is a run of movies coming that I will absolutely be going to see.

Come on now. How could anyone be this stupid? It's plastered on every advertisement.

3 movies isn't an argument that theaters are suddenly alive again.

Somewhere between $160-$180 million. Depending on word of mouth and quality, I could see it push to the $200 million territory.

Theaters were never the problem, content was.

Theaters are only a "problem", and using the term loosely, because of the convenience of staying at home now with big HD screens and quality sound systems available for home entertainment. Bigger movies like this won't have a problem but it takes a bit more convincing today to get people to come out for a mid-tier movie, especially now that they're sent to on-demand/streaming pretty quickly after the release date.
I go regularly and do the whole reward point thing at my local place but even I sometimes don't want to deal with the public and it is generally an overpriced experience. For every epic Oppenheimer experience, there's a wow I had to get a manager to turn the lights off because we're two scenes into the movie or guy beside me won't get off his phone.
It'll be interesting to see what strategy, if any, will be implemented to try and get more people back in their seats.

Ehhhh....having to spend $60 for tickets and over $100 total (including tickets) if I want to get snacks to go along with my movie isn't completely due to content alone.

Those things far out stripping inflation is just what the theaters have had to do to survive. Hollywood has been completely fricking them over for a long long time now. One way is obviously putting the message in everything but another way is pulling movies so fast to feed their failing streaming platforms. The studio gets more money from films in the early showing period and the theaters make more money on the backend run. Unless they won’t to destroy their most lucrative distribution format they want to start caring about the theaters.

The worst memorial weekend in the history of Hollywood just happened. These movies will help them no doubt but it’s ridiculous to think 3 good movies will really change anything. Hollywood has completely abandoned the mid budget movie, the comedy movie, rom coms, and more. They’re idiots who don’t even seem to realize they’re choking the life out of their most lucrative distribution method, after brilliantly killing their DVD market completely by being obsessed with streaming which none of them have ever made a single dollar on other than Netflix.

And how does that compare to sports events? How does that compare to say mini golf? Bowling? Top golf? Stand up comedy/improv?
The price of everything has gone up but the price of a movie is cheaper than all of the above.

The problem isn’t really movie ticket prices. It’s a contributing factor but the real issue is Hollywood refuses to give audiences what they want and think we need to be taught lesson. They’re in for a rough few years because most things are in the can for that timeframe. It moves slowly. Wokeness is poison to a mass audience at this point. Even a whiff of it. Blackton America is going to sink worse than the Titanic.
They also need to actually come back to reality about who the target audience of a movie is and appeal to them instead of being scared of called mean names.

Yup that’s what I was saying.
Content is king.
