Deadpool Deadpool News and Discussion - Part 3

[Weather Witch]

Seeing the seats for all the screenings this week filling up quite fast in Belgium/Netherlands. Seems to be a much bigger audience than First Class and the Wolverine and getting close to DOFP. I think Fox has a big winner in their hands.

Now let's pray this movie has some legs.

Seeing this tonight, cannot wait!

Agree with everything that's been said ^^ The premiere yday (France) was packed, not one seat left. I think what hits hard is the whole breaking the fourth wall act and the self-awareness of Deadpool. It's like when Deadpool (small spoiler)

Spoiler

shows up at the X-Mansion, knocks at the door, Negasonic opens the door, calls for Colossus, and the two are at the door, Deadpool basically says "Why are there are only two of you guys in the house? Fox was too cheap to get more of the X-Men folks?"

Now, obviously, there are a lot of references like Green Lantern etc, and others more obscure, so not everyone will get that but I think they get enough that it'll work for so many people.

IMAX tickets purchased.

Can we board the hype train now?

Also, it opened in Hong Kong to a massive number considering it's NC-17 rating over there, 8th best OD of all time, above The Avengers (with less shows considering the rating).

Hold on a minute. I thought the film was banned from opening in China?

China yes, but not Hong Kong. The two are related, but Hong Kong is somewhat a part of China, but also not really. It's complicated.

Oh ok, weird lol. That's good news about it's opening there though. Hong Kong is the most populated city in China, though, right? I would imagine it's performance there could still bring in a significant # from China as a whole.

I truly think this film could blow expectations out of the water. Campea and Schnepp think it will hit $100m OW and I think it's actually possible, especially if it's a fun and good as everyone says. It could bring the superhero crowd and the hangover crowd together.

Hell, my boss, who's a 50+ year old lady CMA and has no background in the character at all, is excited to see the film with her husband based only on the tv spots lol. This movie will do MUCH better than people think imo.

Have fun guys!

We can thank Ryan and the marketing, probably best marketing ever made for a movie and Ryan appearing in character fuels that.

There are only like 17 r-rated movies that had a $50m+ opening weekend. The highest ever r-rated opening weekend is The Matrix Reloaded with $91,774,413 I believe. People are optimistic, but cautiously optimistic.

Yeah I do believe this movie has a wider appeal than just Deadpool fans, but it wouldn't have that 5/6 year ago, I think.

Enjoy!

Absolutely, he's been amazing!

That just makes me more excited to see the movie later!

Spoiler so read at your own risk:

Spoiler

The first one is just Deadpool telling people to leave the theatre since they don't have enough money for a real post-credit scene with Samuel L. Jackson.

Don't know if it's true or not since I haven't seen the movie but apparently the second post-credit scene is Deadpool telling the audience that Cable's going to be in the sequel.

That's it.

 

[Tim_Riggins]

For the after credits scene, the first one, it's actually (to be more precise)

Spoiler

a riff on Ferris Bueller's Day Off's very ending "you guys still here?"

The second one is exactly correct.

 

[The Shape]

I'll be seeing this in IMAX tomorrow night at 7pm.

Extremely happy it's not in 3D.

 

[Kane52630]

Seeing it Friday at a Cine Capri.

I predicted the first post credit scene on the BO thread way back on 1/22. I must be an Hollywood Insider!

 

[Sleiek]

I don't know if you posted this earlier, but Chris Stuckmann loved the hell out of it and rated it A+. He doesn't give A+ much. I usually have the same tastes as Chris, so this is all great. And oh, right now the RT rating for this movie is at the same level as The Revenant.
