FOX *CBM thread - RIP STAN LEE - Dark PhoeniX 06/07/19

There's another Hugh Jackman film? Thought dude was done already

Idk. Fox might still be reluctant to make Wolverine rated R. Even when it was pg 13 they weren't really bringing in that much dough.

They expected a $50m opening and now it might be at $130m!

February may just be the new July thanks to Deadpool as the R-Rated superhero movie is performing just as well as any huge 20th Century Fox or Marvel Studios' blockbuster. After a record setting $47.5 million on Friday, the Tim Miller helmed release looks set to take $117 million over three days and a total of $130 million for the long Valentine's Day/Presidents Day weekend. That places it among the top 10 comic book movie openings and is the biggets debut in history for an R-Rated film.

Damn, it crosses $135m in 3 days so now they're expecting $150m for the 4-day box office.

Over the three-day Valentine's Day weekend, the Tim Miller-directed superhero feature has grossed a record-shattering $135 million and is currently on-pace for an absolutely colossal $150 million over the four-day Presidents Day weekend.

Overseas, Deadpool has grossed over $125 million, which brings its worldwide total to over $260 million, which is more than four times its budget of $58 million.

Deadpool's magnum-sized debut is now the seventh largest opening for a superhero movie in history (tenth if you adjust for inflation), surpassing the likes of Spider-Man ($114.8M), Iron Man 2 ($128.1M), Guardians Of The Galaxy ($94.3M), Captain America: The Winter Soldier ($95.0M), Man Of Steel ($116.6M), and every single X-Men film (X-Men 3 - $102.8M; DOFP - $90.8M) ever.

Where the dudes at complaining about the excessive marketing

 

[everysingletime]

7th, 7th largest opening for a superhero film in history. Great Scott.

Studios are huddling up right now trying to figure out which films to make rated R lol

I want to know the percentages of families making it to Deadpool

Have a feeling way way too many parents are bringing their children :x

 

[rfx45]

I really only expected (wished) this to come cat least half of to Lucy's numbers to be a success ($126m opening, $463m total worldwide) and get a sequel greenlit but this is definitely far exceeding those expectations, which is a very pleasant surprise. I couldn't be any happier to see it happen.

 

[everysingletime]

Suicide Squad would've been interesting to see rated R...

Harley Quinn. Rated R movie. Harley Quinn..

Oh, they missed the boat. Lol

 

[shogun]

What's the age you guys would think would be appropriate for a kid to watch the movie? I don't think nudity is something to worry about too much since america is overly prudish about seeing nipples unless the sex scenes are raunchy. The blood and violence is nothing new to them if they play all the gta games. I'd probably be most concerned about all the cursing and them copying it.

 

[everysingletime]

For me, 13 or 14 would be fine

The cursing is fine. Even without rated R movies kids be exposed to that early regardless

The violence is fine.

For me, it's the nudity and the sex montage that would make me reluctant to bring anyone younger.

 

[KingdomFlatbush]

It's not that big a deal. I saw plenty of rated R movies as a kid. If this had come out when I was 10, my dad would have definitely taken me to see it just as he had the Spidey; F4, Daredevil, and old school X-Men movies as he's a big Marvel Comics guy.

Contrary to popular belief, children are entirely capable of putting sex and violence into context

 

[everysingletime]

Naa. A 10 year old at this kind of movie is way too young.

 

[silverbackhoney]

I was playing GTA Vice City and San Andreas when I was 7, I think I could've handle a movie with some ******* in it when I was 10.

The biggest age group was probably 17-30 though. There was maybe five young teens in there (all boys) and maybe ten people over the age of 40.

Some old dude and his wife sat in front of me, AARP discount age old, it was funny listening to them

I went to go see it last night. There was a ton of people with their kids. I'm talking kids in the ages of 5 and up. This guy next to me had his daughter sitting in the row in front of him and he kept reaching over to cover her eyes in all the sex, nudity, and gory violence scenes. Basically reaching over to her every 5 minites.

The movie was cool. Definitely the best thing that FOX has done as far a CBM goes. IMO this was a MCU caliber movie (if they were to do rated R films). I can't say that about any of those other superhero movies they've put out in the past. Hopefully this is a sign of FOX giving the fans what they want and not giving us what they think is right.

The way he tried to stick to the source material rang hollow. Plus he didn't stick to the source material beginning to end. The actors minus 2 weren't good.


The movie to me felt like he tried to jam 12 issues of greatness in to 3 hrs of bland averageness. The pacing was just off.


Wish they never made it.

rosch and comedian were great

That's all I can agree with.

overall i thought it was a great effort at adapting 12 issues of not made for movie content into a single feature length film. 

Thought Snyder and the screenwriter adapting it did a pretty bad job. It's what I expect from him now and he has not surprised me since.

I've already said a lot more in past arguments so I don't see anymore reason to continue this other than to see you say you liked things I thought were ****.

So no need to keep doing this in a FOX-Men thread.

 

[everysingletime]

Ehh to me there's a difference between video games and movies. Especially when you take into account the graphics when we were 7-8 :x

 

[cucumbercool]

this was unacceptable for kids to see. the violence was type real , although i know kids play wild games. the sex was what was crazy . that ayo part even caught me off guard.
read because deadpool is pansexual reynolds would like him to have a bf for the next flick..naaa n_

 

[silverbackhoney]

Ryan was trying to avoid liberal media on that quote.

He was asked how he felt about Deadpool being pansexual and whether or not he would be okay with the character having a boyfriend and he hit the reporter with the slick "I mean, I wouldn't be against it! That'd be cool!"

You know if he said the opposite Twitter and Tumblr would explode calling him homophobic

 

[Master Zik]

This was a great scene man I'm not necessarily understanding the Watchmen/Snyder hate

Very much so. I don't think people understand the significance of Watchman. And, how it change comics during the time of the release. The series in my opinion changed the ideal of comic novels.

Given that I read the comic years before I don't see how that connects to the impact of the movie. To me the significance of the comic did not translate to film given who made it and it fell flat. Similar to other Moore adaptions that are at best good (V for Vendetta but even that didn't cover it all), the right filmmakers simply never come along to do it justice.

Around the time, that, TDKR series, Miller on Daredevil, Moore's Killing Joke were what really showed what graphic novels can do.

Unfortunately I don't think Snyder did anything special film wise. Kinda continues the idea that Moore's comics adapted to film come off like they can't be adapted. Too many integral moving parts.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

When colossus was speaking about doing the right thing and my dude shoots him still. Then dude throws up

Man **** the Watchmen.

I really hope the crew negotiated some I told you so cut of the profits.

Ha, I posted about Morena talking about a scene that would make nt'ers and a lot of people cringe. That would a part that's difficult to explain to kids. Or at least trying to explain what she was wearing.

 

[everysingletime]

I would have no idea how to even begin to explain what she was wearing..

I wouldn't bring any young kids just to avoid that task

 

[gentry187]

I think some people don't really pay attention to movie ratings. They assume it's just another superhero movie so they probably don't even take into consideration that it's rated R for a reason. Either that or they just don't care what their 5-10 year old kids watch. If I had a kid of my own I would not bring him to see this movie unless he was 13+. But to each his own I guess.

 

[everysingletime]

A lot of parents are just straight up ignoring the rating. Only reason I see why it's blowing up so much lol

Bringing in 10 years is questionable to me

If you're bringing 5-6 year olds you need your parentship revoked. Same type of parents that would probably lock their kids in a hot van by mistake.

 

[tdogg2k]

It has been researched that parents who are open honest and teach their kids about drugs sex alcohol. Have higher rate of kids that dont fall for that stuff
