discussion Deadpool & Wolverine scores massive $211M opening, biggest ever for an R-rated movie

[Broken]

Update 2:

 

- Deadpool & Wolverine broke every possible record for an R-rated film, becoming the first film with such rating to open with $200+ million domestically. Worldwide, it was even bigger.

 

- Deadpool & Wolverine slayed with $211.4 million. This is the sixth biggest debut in history. 

 

- It will become the biggest R-rated film in North America, finally dethroning The Passion of the Christ's 20-year-old record ($370 million). Hell, the film could crash and burn and still be guaranteed to break the record.

 

- Deadpool & Wolverine also broke records overseas. The film debuted with a colossal $233.3 million overseas, taking its worldwide debut at $444.7 million. It's easily the biggest debut for an R-rated film. The biggest debuts were China ($24M), UK ($22.1M), Mexico ($18.7M), Australia ($13M), Germany ($10M), Brazil ($10M), India ($10M), France ($9.4M), Korea ($8.3M) and Italy ($7.5M). And that's with some countries carrying more restricted ratings (like Mexico and Brazil). Not only is this set to become the highest grossing Deadpool film, it will also become the highest grossing R-rated film.

Film was ok. Ngl, I gagged when ..... and ....... appeared

 

And the fight scenes were great. The bus scene was pure cinema.

[Digitalism]

When they play with nostalgia they always win.

The problem is that they haven't been able to introduce new characters and story lines. 

[FrederickGa]

That's CRAZY 

[Kh-Loud]

The plot has been done a trillionth times but the comedy, fight sequels, nostalgic soundtrack and surprises carry! 
 

As a movie goer, I had a blast watching it, so it gets an 8.5 from me. 
 

DEFINATELY the best Marvel movie since ENDGAME!
