In an unprecedented move, stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, along with filmmaker Shawn Levy and Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige, took the stage at Comic-Con’s Hall H to announce some groundbreaking news. According to various box office sources, the highly anticipated movie “Deadpool & Wolverine” is on track to set a new record for preview nights for an R-rated film. Initial estimates suggest that the movie is set to make $35 million in its preview night, with the possibility of surpassing $40 million by the morning. This would easily make it one of the top nine preview nights ever, exceeding the previous R-rated preview record held by “Deadpool 2” with $18.6 million in 2018.
The dynamic duo of Deadpool and Wolverine have already made their mark on the box office with their impressive numbers. The first “Deadpool” film currently holds the R-rated 3-day record with $132.4 million, while “Deadpool 2” raked in $125.5 million in its opening weekend. With a stellar 97% audience rating and 81% certified fresh reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, it is clear that fans are eagerly anticipating this new installment in the Deadpool franchise.
There is much speculation about how high “Deadpool & Wolverine” can go in terms of box office earnings. With the success of PG-13 films like “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” and “Avengers: Infinity War” posting impressive preview night numbers, there is a belief that an R-rated film may not have the same momentum. However, with the star power of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, along with the undeniable charm of the Deadpool character, anything is possible. It is truly uncharted territory for this genre of film.
Fans lucky enough to attend the Hall H presentation at Comic-Con will have the exclusive opportunity to see a special preview of the Levy-directed, -produced, and -written “Deadpool & Wolverine” for free. This added bonus is sure to generate even more buzz and excitement surrounding the film’s release. As anticipation continues to build, it seems that “Deadpool & Wolverine” is on track to become a box office juggernaut, breaking records and captivating audiences worldwide.
