    Not to be a clit…but that is kind of a low bar to set. Because the two movies might have been good on streaming but have no place getting compared to Ryan Renolds and Hugh Jackman. and I say that as I am not a fan girl.

      I agree, low bar. Let’s see how it did against Deadpool, Deadpool 2, and movies with wolverine in them as the lead:

      • Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) – $205M opening [TBD domestic]
      • Deadpool (2016) – $132.4M opening/$363M domestic
      • Deadpool 2 (2018) – $125.5M opening/$324.5M domestic
      • Logan (2017) – $88.4M opening/$226.2M domestic
      • X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) – $85M opening/$179.8M domestic
      • The Wolverine (2013) – $53.1M opening/$132.5M domestic

    I mean, they spent enough on marketing. I can’t take a shit in a toilet without RR and HJ popping out of the trashcan to run a skit. People are making cakes, printing out 18" tall lego figures, tractor trailers and fireworks shows, it’s EVERYWHERE!

    So… why are we comparing it exactly to these two movies? There are a few other Marvel and Marvel-adjacent movies one could compare.

    I’ve never even heard of the marvels until this year and madame web never at all. I’m never super excited about comic based movies, but ones I’ve never heard of even less. Plus I always feel like I would have to know a whole bunch of backstory from comics or past movies to know what is going on.

      You really don’t. Most are designed to be watched without the full context of other films behind them or it you need context they will fill you in.

      If course if you’ve seen everything then it is beneficial.

      Although, oddly enough, Deadpool REALLY is made for those that grew up with the Fox Marvel films.
