So as long as this Youtube video exists of course..
The now famous re-do of Madonna’s LIKE A PRAYER from DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE..
Meanwhile this weekend the film is taking in $90 mil in its second weekend and closing in on $700 mil globally, well on its way to become a billion dollar movie.
…with people humming the tune of Madonna’s LIKE A PRAYER on the way out.
What a showing!
The Shawn Levy directed, produced and written Deadpool & Wolverine grossed $61.5M on Saturday per Disney for what is definitely a $205M opening weekend..
Global is at $438.3M.
Maybe we really ARE ready for movie theaters again?
MORE INFO on just how big this is..
It’s also the eighth highest opening of all-time, one of nine movies to open north of $200M — six of ’em belonging to Marvel. It’s also the fifth biggest opening ever for a superhero movie. In addition to opening records as we told you for Levy, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds, D&W also notched the biggest July opening of all-time ahead of The Lion King ($191.8M)
Move over BARBENHEIMER.. there is a new duo in the summer of 2024 taking the box office by storm. Potty mouthed foul and filthy.. a new family friendly film for the modern age!
This is an amazing box office weekend.. We went to see DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE for an afternoon show–it was sold out. As a matter of fact, the theater was playing the movie about 10 times both Saturday and Sunday to sold out shows.
Something has struck a chord .. midsummer night dreams mixed with horror/comedy/Marvel..
Here are the mid-weekend numbers.
This may be a movie with mid-2000 numbers.. maybe between $195 to $200 mil opening weekend in the United States.. $420 million worldwide.
At $195M-$205M, that will put D&W as either the eighth- or ninth-best opening at the domestic B.O. of all-time, behind Avengers: Endgame ($357.1M), Spider-Man: No Way Home ($260.1M), Avengers: Infinity War ($257.6M), Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($247.9M), Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($220M), Jurassic World ($208.8M), The Avengers ($207.4M), and Black Panther ($202M).
The end of July appears to be an amazing time to debut a summer blockbuster movie..
