Ryan Reynolds continues to be Hollywood’s golden boy.
Last night “Deadpool and Wolverine” clawed up $38 million in preview. An opening weekend of over $150 million is a low estimate.
That’s a lot of popcorn buckets!
“D&W” isn’t great artistic cinema, but it’s a lot of fun. The Reynolds- Hugh Jackman superhero buddy movie only has a 79% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But the audience number is 97%. Fans want to see it, and see it again.
Just to give you an idea of how big this movie is: the last “Deadpool” in 2018 had $18 million in previews. The opening weekend was $125 million. So this one is going to blow all the others out of the water.
Reynolds is a producer and writer on the movie, which he developed with his own writing team. He got Shawn Levy to direct it, and Jackman to co-star. Reynolds is already mega wealthy from his business ventures. So far he hasn’t had a misstep when it comes to his Aviation Gin or Metro phone companies among others. He’s traveled a journey from annoying quipster to mogul.
Yesterday at CinemaCon in San Diego, the whole cast appeared including the surprise cameo actors Chris Evans, Wesley Snipes, Jennifer Garner. Their roles are hilarious, and add to the movie’s must see designation.
So let’s f—-ing go as the say in the film! Marvel wins again!
