>The Marvel Studios movie — the third outing in the celebrated superhero franchise that’s the brainchild of star Ryan Reynolds — is tracking to open to at least $160 million to $165 million domestically over the July 26-28 weekend, with plenty of upside. That would be the best start of the year to date, as well as the biggest launch ever for an R-rated title. It would also be a needed boost for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the superhero genre in general.
Been saying anything above 150m (easily the biggest rated R opening ever) is the time to pop champagne over at Disney. 200m feels a bit out of reach but I think 180m is possible (and likely if the film delivers like the first 2 Deadpool movies)

The trades should stop reporting The Quorum’s 6 week out unrealistic tracking/projections.

*Current presales before the movie’s July 26 opening are at $19M, which is -15% behind Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ($187.4M) and ahead of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ($118.4M) and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ($181.3M).*
You mean when you make something excited fans and audiences they will come out to see it?

Okay, that’s a lot more realistic than the “$200M opening domestic weekend but we’re lowballing!” estimate from a few weeks ago. Not sure how accurate Quorum tracking is as of now though

Definitely going to have the highest grossing opening weekend of the year.
Let’s see how high this bad boy goes

This cannot be. I was told repeatedly by everyone on this sub that there’s superhero fatigue.

Definitely a great opening, and I think it can go slightly higher, but not $200M.

>Three weeks out, Deadpool & Wolverine‘s claws are looking plenty sharp.
