The latest tracking information for Disney/Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine has just been released, and the numbers are nothing short of impressive. Projections are indicating that the movie could potentially bring in an astounding $200M-$239M in its opening weekend. This figure is already making waves in the industry, with some experts even considering it to be a conservative estimate.
One of the most noteworthy aspects of these projections is the fact that no R-rated movie has ever achieved a $200M opening weekend before. Should Deadpool & Wolverine reach or surpass this milestone, it will truly be a historic moment for the film industry. The current record for the highest R-rated opening belongs to the original Deadpool, which debuted with $132.4M back in 2016.
Audience Reception
Interestingly, the tracking numbers for Deadpool & Wolverine are showing a high level of interest among moviegoers, particularly with male audiences. In fact, the anticipation for this film seems to be even greater than that of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which went on to become the second-highest grossing film in terms of domestic opening weekends.
Summer Blockbuster
In addition to breaking records for R-rated films, Deadpool & Wolverine is also poised to become the biggest opening of the summer. Even surpassing highly anticipated releases like Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2, this movie is generating a significant amount of buzz among viewers.
Another interesting finding from the tracking data is that Deadpool & Wolverine has the highest PLF (Premium Large Format) score among all the summer releases. This indicates that audiences are eager to experience the movie in a premium format, further highlighting the widespread appeal of this highly anticipated sequel.
Despite some skepticism surrounding the potential success of an R-rated superhero film, the tracking numbers for Deadpool & Wolverine are painting a very promising picture. With its record-breaking projections and overwhelming audience interest, this movie has the potential to make a significant impact on the box office and cement its place as a standout summer blockbuster.
