Hell, a lot of other PG-13 movies. It's amazing to look at the list.
 
Wow, I did not know that. This thing gets more impressive by the minute.
 
Also, who cares about the sequel right now? Let's enjoy this for a while and then we can worry about what's happening with a sequel.

Let's enjoy the euphoria of a $100 million opening weekend for Deadpool and 84 percent on Rotten Tomatoes which is better than most of the Oscar nominees.
 
It's just more evidence that the PG-13 strategy is nonsense and R-rated movies can make money.

Just saying, look what the studios did with Die Hard, RoboCop, and Expandables. Cardinal rule for filmmaking: Don't turn R-rated franchises into PG-13 ones. Fans don't tolerate that nonsense. You can't honey pot the fans with a PG-13 rating.
 
It's virtually guaranteed to beat all other X-Men opening weekends at this point. Hopefully this serves as a wake-up call. Fans want to see their favorite X-franchise characters done in a way that embraces the source material.
 
I'm seeing it again tomorrow, and I was lucky to get a decent seat. Of the 5 showings that have reserved seating there were exactly 2 seats in the middle section for the noon show, the rest of the seats left were in the first 3 rows or way off at the sides (and not many of those left). It's crazy, but I'm beginning to think Sunday might be very close to staying flat from Saturday and nearly 130m 3 day total.
 
Saw it for the second time tonight. Still as awesome as the first time. God I love this movie!
 
So happy a great R-Rated movie is this successful.

What a world we live in where R-Rated Deadpool does a better opening weekend than Spider-Man. Incredible.
 
Any word on international opening weekend predictions?

It dominates that aswell then it'll be a financial behemoth.

It's still boggles my mind how much is being rumoured on SS. I can't help but think Deadpool shows you can make a $60m movie look like any $150m blockbuster out there. When I watch something like Mad Max I can see where all the money went, but for half the blockbuster movies going around you end up scratching your head trying to work out what exactly they spent the money on.

Quoted because I agree with you. This is why I have sited the Blade and Hellboy movies as proof that you can have movies with low budgets and make them look like they have huge budgets. It's not the size of the budget that matters, it's how you use it. The makers of the SUPER POWER BEAT DOWN youtube series are proof of this.

Makes you wonder. Will Fox now try to go a little more lighter in their approach to Gambit to make it more like Deadpool, or stick with the more "weight of the world" approach the last two X-men movies have gone with.

IMO, FOX should just scrap the solo Gambit movie and just have him be a part of the X-Men movie cast. Unlike DP, Gambit doesn't work as well as a solo character. He works best as part of a team.

If anything, I'd hope they go all in on the "Claremont" with Gambit. Deadpool struck a chord with audiences by embracing the comic. Having a script co-written by Chris Claremont could provide that comic embracing feel to Gambit.

I'd be cool with that. The question is which version of Claremont's Gambit would we get, the original cloned grown up version of a mad evil genius mutant boy who ages very slowly (and who cloned and aged both Gambit and Mister Sinister from his DNA),the version from X-MEN:THE END who is just a clone of Mister Sinister,or the version from X-MEN FOREVER (who I have no idea where Claremont was going with that version)?
 
The fantastical nature of the X-Men series has been drastically toned down in the films and I didn't like it in the early 2000's and I still don't. And I do think that will keep the newer films from doing as well as they should.
 
20th Century Fox’s Deadpool is bigger than anyone thought possible. After posting the biggest opening day in February with $47.5M, the Marvel character has also scored the second biggest day ever during the month with an estimated $41.88M. This now raises Deadpool‘s 3-day take to $133.4M, making it the second best debut ever for the first installment of a superhero property behind Disney/Marvel’s The Avengers ($207.4M). The Tim Miller-directed movie’s 4-day is now projected at $151M per industry calculations; some studios have it as high as $155M over FSSM.
 
Maximum Effort! :dpl:

Ryan and Blake chose the right time to have a child because little baby James is going to be set for a long time off the movie cash cow that is now Deadpool! Holy smokes. Chimichangas for everyone!
 
I almost can't believe the numbers. You know like how last year everything went wrong for Fantastic Four? Everything went right for Deadpool, every single damn thing.

It's always been nonsense, it's just film budgets have gone completely over board in the last 15 years where they can't afford not to try and appeal to the widest possible audience. I think part of Deadpool's success is that people are so use to the vanilla film making tthat seeing something outrageous like this is a big draw. With any conventional superhero film you kinda know what you're going to get, something like The Dark Knight is about as far as you can push the genre within that family friendly rating. On top of that all, Deadpool being this successful now means that blockbuster movies can make money year round. As many of us have been saying for years the release date is irrelevant. If the film and the marketing is good it will be a success. The film will hopefully remove a lot of outdated tactics in Hollywood.

Um....wow. This thing is a monster. It can't be said enough just how much of a game changer this film could be.
