They’re dropping like flies.
In the case of The Hangover, Deadpool has already taken in 47.9% of the 2009 comedy’s entire lifetime domestic gross in the first three days of its release. It is also $217.4 million away from supplanting American Sniper, which would then leave Deadpool a grenade’s throw away from obliterating The Passion Of The Christ‘s title of “highest grossing R-rated movie of all time.”
Do you think Deadpool has the superpowered legs to speed past all other R-rated record holders? Leave your opinions in the comments below.
They’re dropping like flies.
By breaking no less than nine different box office records in its opening weekend and outgrossing the other top nine movies combined within a four day period, Deadpool‘s
stunning opening weekend success is upending the industry’s financial
expectations of R-rated movies, particularly those in the superhero
genre.
Here’s a visualization illustrating just how much of a record-slaying flick Deadpool is shaping up to be: (Click to enlarge)
Deadpool is riding a wave of buzz that movie executives usually only dream about. Fox's new crass, meta Marvel film is already shaking up movie slates, with the studio setting plans in motion to teach their old mutants some crude tricks by raunching up the upcoming third Wolverine sequel with an R-rating.
The crater that Deadpool made at the box office has already left plenty of movies in ashes (sorry, Zoolander 2 and How To Be Single). However, the massacre may have only just begun. Deadpool’s unique combination of superhero action, lewd R-rated comedy and an obscenely lucrative opening weekend haul sets it up to knock the highest grossing R-rated comedy (The Hangover) and the highest grossing R-rated action movie (American Sniper) from their respective pedestals.
