DEADPOOL or: How R-Rated Superhero Movies Could Be a Blessing or a Curse
L
Deadpool has flipped the box office upside down. The comic book film starring the “Merc with a Mouth” brought in summer movie season style receipts during the cold of February. A little over 10 days into its box office run, and the film has already broken numerous records and has achieved critical acclaim.
Exactly which records did Deadpool break? It had a worldwide opening of $264.9 million from 62 markets, which is the biggest of 2016, the biggest for an R-rated film, and the second biggest for Fox, only behind Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith ($303.9 million). It had the biggest IMAX 2D worldwide opening of all time with $27.4 million from 606 IMAX theaters, eclipsing The Dark Knight Rises ($23.8 million). It made $12.7 million from its Thursday night previews from 2,975 theaters, setting records for the biggest R-rated and February previews, beating The Hangover Part II ($10.4 million) and Fifty Shades of Grey ($8.6 million), respectively. Of that, $2.3 million came from IMAX showings, for a per screen average of $6,200, which is the sixth biggest IMAX preview ever. This broke the record for the biggest February IMAX preview and the biggest R-rated IMAX preview. On opening day, the film earned $47.4 million, breaking the records for the biggest R-rated opening day and the biggest February opening day. It also became the biggest R-rated single day and the second-biggest opening and single day ever for a 20th Century Fox film. Earning a total of $132.4 million in its opening weekend, it broke the record for the biggest R-rated opening of all time, the biggest February opening, the biggest opening for Fox, and the biggest opening of headliner Ryan Reynolds’ career. It is also the earliest film in a year to open with over $100 million. For its 4-day President’s Day weekend, it earned $152.19 million, breaking records for the biggest 4-day President’s Day opening as well as single weekend gross. In just ten days, it became the highest-grossing X-Men film, as well as becoming the highest-grossing R-rated comic book film of all-time.
