Yes! This would be so epic man. Wolverine in a rated R film too!

'Deadpool': A Breakdown of Its Box-Office Records.


The movie is th e rare Marvel-branded superhero offering to be rated R.

Proving that wit and originality can pay off, Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool shattered numerous records in its global debut as the daring, R-rated superhero movie transformed into a must-see curiosity.

In North America, Deadpool earned $135 million for the three-day Valentine's Day/Presidents Day weekend on its way to a massive four-day holiday gross of $150 million or more. Overseas, it launched to a rousing $125 million.

The Fox movie, an X-Men spinoff, launches a new superhero franchise and redeems the studio after last summer's Fantastic Four debacle. And it more than redeems Reynolds after his previous superhero movie, Green Lantern, fell flat. Deadpool is easily the actor's top opening of all time.

Reynolds spent more than a decade convincing Fox to make Deadpool his way, meaning with a "hard" R rating. The decision to say '"yes" paid off, with Deadpool securing the No. 7 opening of all time for a comic book adaptation behind the two The Avengers movies, Iron Man 3, the final two Dark Knight films and Spider-Man 3, not accounting for inflation.

Here's a breakdown of the movie's record ride so far:

Biggest opening for an R-rated film — North America
The Matrix Reloaded claimed this record for almost 13 years after debuting to $91.8 million in May 2003.

Biggest Fox Opening — North America
The studio's previous biggest opening was $108.4 million, and that belonged to Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith (2005).

Biggest Feature Directorial Debut — North America
Deadpool helmer Tim Miller, a second unit director on Thor: The Dark World and a creative supervisor on Kick-Ass, takes bragging rights from Elizabeth Banks, who held the record for Pitch Perfect 2 ($69.2 million).

Biggest Valentine's Day/Presidents Day — North America
Deadpool wrested the crown from last year's Fifty Shades of Grey, which earned $85.2 million for the three-day holiday and $93 million for the four days.

Biggest January/February Opening — North America
American Sniper was the previous January champ with a three-day debut of $89.3 million, while Fifty Shades was the February record-holder.

Biggest Thursday night for an R-rated film — North America
Deadpool scored $12.7 million in Thursday-night previews, beating the $10.4 million earned by The Hangover: Part II on the eve of Memorial Day in 2011.

Biggest Friday for an R-rated film
The film took in $47.5 million, well ahead of the previous record-holder, American Sniper ($30.3 million).

Biggest Russian Debut — International
Deadpool nabbed $12.4 million, besting Star Wars: The Force Awakens to nab the top opening ever in Russia. Also overseas, the movie marked Fox's top opening in 13 markets, including Australia ($10 million) and Taiwan ($8.3 million). And Deadpool scored the biggest opening for a film with the equivalent of an R rating in 11 territories, including the Philippines ($2.8 million), known to be a conservative marketplace.

Biggest Imax 2D and R-rated Opening — Global
Imax theaters contributed an estimated $28 million of the film's worldwide opening to score the biggest start ever for an R-rated title. It's also the biggest 2D opening of all time for Imax, eclipsing The Dark Knight Rises ($23.8 million). Imax theaters in North America contributed $19 million.

Biggest PLF R-rated Opening — North America
Premium large format screens took in $17.6 million for the three-day weekend, the top showing ever for an R-rated title. American Sniper was the previous record holder ($8.7 million).

Lots of movies coming up we want to see, but we'll try to catch it one more time.

I get where you're coming from. And kudos to RR for certain. But the point I was attempting to make, without outright stating it, is Reynolds isn't the one who foot the bill for this bad boy. It doesn't matter how badly he wanted this or how badly he might want a sequel.

Love 'em or leave 'em, you can't deny that if the execs (mama) ain't happy, nobody is happy. Happy execs make for a happy return and a better and, more importantly certain, sequel.

Too bad that wasn't Nichelle Nichols playing the blind woman! Uhura cursing up a storm would've been great!

I saw an interview where Ryan Reynolds told the story of how he objected to the way Deadpool was being portrayed at the end of Wolverine, and the studio execs basically said he could either do it or they would get someone else. Well, after the success of this movie, I'm thinking Ryan Reynolds is in a lot better spot for negotiating.

Or they felt stupid for not listening to a fan of Deadpool. Probably why this one is doing so well now.

Technically speaking

[Show spoiler]Cable came back to the early seventies and grew up as a shadowy figure (a mercenary), until he revealed himself to the New Mutants and turned them into X-Force.

I agree, buddy. But I must confess that I think Cable should be played by someone more "bulky"... Bruce Campbell nowadays?
