Free Guy | Disney

[KRYPTON INC.]

I think without a doubt Shawn Levy and Reynolds have played video games post 2005 and have through BTS connections due to being Hollywood insiders, probably also have a better understanding of the business of video games than the average movie goer or gamer for that matter.

Also for a movie that had Ryan Reynolds, it took absolutely no advantage of that fact at all (no meta references to Deadpool, and the PG-13 rating limiting his signature humor). His part could've easily been played by someone else. And Taika Waititi might be a talented director, but I don't think he should ever be allowed in front of a camera again.

Headed for a $26.4m OW, way above the 15-20m projections. A on Cinemascore. Should have good legs.

Ryan Reynolds’ ‘Free Guy’ Scores $2.2M In Thursday Night Previews – Deadline

 

[psylockolussus]

Ooh. It opened similarly to The Suicide Squad. I eXpected it to flop, like Snake Eyes.

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

So is Ryan Reynolds basically just playing himself in this?

Rethorical question. Did he ever playing something else than himself ?

The movie Life?

The movie Life?

Counter rethorical answer : Buried

Counter rethorical answer : Buried

I haven't seen the movie. Did he escape in that movie and become a Free Guy?

It was a long time ago but he was not his typical RR.

Seeing this with a co-worker who is going in a Deadpool costume lol

 

[Detective Conan]

 

[DlAMONDZ]

Makes sense

All indications is that people liked it and there's a solid chance if breaks even too. Not bad for something they were thought about dumping on streaming

 

[psylockolussus]

It wasn't dumped on streaming because the old foX had a deal with HBO. And this film is included in that deal. Which is why after 45 days, it will be available in Hbo MaX instead of Hulu/D+.

 

[CaptainWagner]

After such a long period of people hating on this, it feels good to see that it's actually shaping up to be pretty great and successful.

 

[samsnee]

Color me surprised. I thought it would be another RIPD

 

[SomeOldGuy]

Did even better than early estimates.

 

[Pennywise]

 

[Erzengel]

Really liked the cameos and weapons especially during the Guy and Dude fight scene.

If someone told me last year that Free Guy and Jungle Suicide would have earned better numbers in North America compare to The Suicide Squad, I would have been skeptical.

I Laughed at a certain cameo when an iconic item showed up. his reaction was priceless

So 26 mil is new benchmark in this delta stage of pandemic so TSS was a success? Lol. I'm taking it that way

To be fair, the budget for Free Guy is lower than the Suicide Squad.
