Don’t know if this counts as an Easter Egg but this was still fun to speculate:

Oh nice!

$3.8 million Wednesday per Forbes so it passes Logan.

Weekend estimated to be 20-22 million

Two reasons: Infinity War and Solo. Sadly, these three films are all hurting each other. If they had been spaced out better, they would all have more in the banks.

Deadpool would have done better had it kept its original release date, which was today (June 1). The only rationale I can think of for Fox changing its date was to screw with Disney's two May releases because there aren't any major films coming out today that would have caused DP2 problems. It might not have made more this weekend than on May 18th but it would have had two weeks clear sailing at the top of the box office before TI2 comes out. As weak as Solo is, it didn't do DP2's legs any favors.

We've got another one.
The reason for the earlier release date was probably that the new Jurassic World movie is being released in Int'l territories next week, and the World Cup is about to start, as well (which means less people going to the movies)... and not to mess with your beloved Disney.

Thursday was $3,577,242, bringing the total to $231,327,438. So it should be over 250 by the end of the weekend. That will push it to 8 on the all-time R-rated chart. Will be the No. 2 live action comedy sequel by Tuesday.

I could be wrong, but $300 million domestic still seems possible to me.

 

[Iceman]

Solo not far above this in dailies now.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

Deadline puts Friday at $6.5 million and projects the weekend at a touch over $23 million, which would put it at $254.4 million. Those would be solid numbers if they stick.

It’s not impossible, though I still think it comes up short. It started to lose screens this weekend and there are a bunch of big releases coming up. OTOH there’s still lots of screens showing IW and Solo and those won’t last much longer. If it can hang on to enough showings it might crawl over the 300 mark.

Still doing pretty well so far!

I’d go so far as to call it’s performance fantastic. It may be the most under appreciated box office run so far this year. Domestically it’s already the No. 2 X-Man film and it’s a coin flip as to whether it beats Logan for No. 3 WW. It will almost certainly finish in the top 5 R-rated movies of all time and as the No. 1 comedy sequel ever as well.

For its budget (3 times less than solo), its gonna gross much more..... DP has to be the most profitable franchise among x-men films (ie...x-men 1 to 3, wolverine 1 to 3 & first class, DOFP and XA).

Studios can learn a thing or 2 about how to budget & market their movies from DP.

Now...if this movie had opened in august.....it would have grosses closed to $800M.

 

[Pennywise]

Domestic: $254,652,438 42.5%
+ Foreign: $344,001,691 57.5%
= Worldwide: $598,654,129

It's a shame that Solo took this film's IMAX/PLF screens away last weekend, which caused it to drop heavily. Reminds me of what happened with Spider-man Homecoming when Planet of the Apes came out. I am glad it's rebounded both domestically and internationally though this weekend. Hopefully it can leg it out to $300M domestic and $400M international to go over $700M WW.

Someone on box office theory mentioned how now the Deadpool franchise is going to be at $1.4B+ with a production budget of just $168M. That's crazy and if you had mentioned these stats to me 4 years ago, I'd have called you crazy.

It's a franchise that has a production budget of $168M and will be over $1.4B+ when the sequel's run is over. That's just crazy to me lol I think with an August release it could have gotten closer to the numbers the first did as I really do believe that Han Solo taking away its premium screens last weekend, hurt it a lot. But I am glad to see it recover.

Ocean's 8 is coming out this week in the US. Lost Kingdom comes out this week in a lot of countries. Then The Incredibles 2 the week after. The drop for the 4th and 5th weekend would probably be bigger compare to its 3rd weekend drop, therefore it would probably miss the $300 million mark. It already opened in Japan, so I wouldn't be surprised if doesn't outgross Dofp worldwide.

It's not going to outgross DOFP WW. That's been long gone. If it had gotten a China release it would be the highest grossing X-men movie ever but alas it didn't. It can still get to $300M domestic. Ocean's 8 is not going to effect it. That's going to effect Solo because it'll be taking its premium screens away. Incredibles 2 opening is on Father's Day Weekend and all films should see a boost. The one weekend where I can see it taking a hit is when Jurassic World comes out because they attract a similar crowd but by then we will have a much clearer picture of whether $300M is reality or not.. The one thing also in its favor is that there are a lot of older movies right now hogging up theater space that will be dumped before it so as long as it can maintain strong holds, it won't be so easily dumped

 

[psylockolussus]

Ocean's 8 is gonna affect it as its reported that it would open bigger than the previous Ocean's trilogy. Anyway, given that the last weekend didn't have any major blockbuster opening and Solo underperforming so much, Deadpool should have a lower drop like less than 40%.

Anyway $363 million to $290 to $300 million is a visible drop. And worldwide, it didn't improve either. Also we shouldn't even mention China, as the first one wasn't also released there and still outgrossed Dofp worldwide.

 

[Superhero 101]

Still good numbers I see it closing at 630-650 million ww

 

[Iceman]

It's done well overall but I thought it would do better domestically.

 

[ironman_rick]

Enough juice for DP2 to get to $700 WW ?

 

[Flint Marko]

It's done well overall but I thought it would do better domestically.

Yeah I thought this was going to do a bit better than it ultimately did but it's still had a more than respectable enough run and I'm sure Fox is quite happy with how it's performed.

Yeah, it's done fine even if a bit less than many expected.

 

[GuestStar2004]

It will probably make more then Logan. although probably not alot more.

 

[iEquinox]

Should be able to pass $300M DOM and $700M WW(or at least get close). Very good numbers, especially considering the relatively low budget and not getting released in China.
