“Deadpool and Wolverine” had a record shattering $96 million opening day including $38.5 million from Thursday previews.
The Marvel release is on track for a $200 million weekend, eclipsing everything this year and most of the last few years.
It’s the biggest R rated movie release of all time.
With international sales, the total is already $211 million.
Right now, “D&W” could land on the all time opening weekends list at around number 6 or 7.
The first two “Deadpool” movies sit at 43 and 47 on that list. The “X Men Wolverine” movie and “Logan” are down around number 88.
Of course, who knows how much money “D&W” cost? The marketing alone could be $100 million. It’s absolutely impossible to measure how much we’ve seen Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman on social media in the last month. Or much regular media they’ve appeared on. It’s astronomical.
