Box Office UPDATED: “Deadpool and Wolverine” Did $6 Mil Better than Reported

Share

“Deadpool and Wolverine”? Ever hear of it?

Over the weekend, the Marvel MAD Magazine send up did better than reported yesterday. The total was $211 million, not $206 million.

This makes the Ryan Reynolds-Hugh Jackman comedy the sixth highest opening weekend film of all time.

For Disney, “D&W” Was key. Along with “Inside Out 2,” from Pixar, they have two gigantic successes for the year. They don’t need anything else.

Will there be a sequel to “D&W”? There will have to be. Another “Deadpool and —” movie, I suppose, with Jackman reprising his role and maybe another Marvel star. Or more from the Greek chorus of Marvel losers who turned up in this one.

Anyway, watch this week as everyone who went to “D&W” over the weekend goes back and sees it again, because that’s the plan. There are a lot of Easter eggs to catch on second and third viewings.

PS No word yet on how much merch has been sold.
