Marvel is back on top with “Deadpool & Wolverine.” The comic-book movie made a staggering $205 million in its first weekend in North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday. It shattered the opening record for R-rated films previously held by the first “Deadpool” ($132 million) and notched a spot in the top 10 openings of all time.
Including international showings, where it’s racked up an addition $233.3 million from 52 markets, “Deadpool & Wolverine” is looking at a global opening of over $438.3 million.
Audiences aren’t sick of superhero movies, they’re sick of BAD superhero movies.
Aaannd… I dont know where to put this one… but I did go for the jokes
And that was before the Sunday numbers were in. It could easily have added another $50 to $75 million domestic.
I believe they include projections for Sunday as well as most people probably bought their tickets ahead of time.
It was $211 million from Thursday through Sunday domestic, $444 million worldwide.

Are the numbers adjusted for inflation though?
It’s really quite a accomplishment considering people aren’t going to movies like they did pre-covid. I saw the matinee and spent $19.50: $8 for admission, $11.50 for a medium soda and medium popcorn. Highway fucking robbery.
It helps sales when you only sell 3d movie tickets when the movie doesn’t have any good 3d effects.
I went to a 2D showing here, so they definitely were selling them
In my theater, there were 4x as many 3d showings as 2d.
It may be a cultural thing, here 3D isn’t as popular so most showings were in 2D.
The majority 3d screenings must’ve been specifically for opening weekend. I guess they thought people watching it on opening weekend are more likely to pay extra for the 3d showings if it was the only option.
That might have been the case where you live. Here there are always more 2d screenings than 3d (including on opening night), since people here think think of 3d as more of a gimmick and usually not worth the extra price
Where do you live, 2009?
I didn’t even know this movie had 3D. I didn’t see a single 3D showing in my area.
