It seems like everywhere I look, something is promoting Deadpool and Wolverine. Did all of that promotion work?
It sure did! The Ryan Reynolds/Hugh Jackman film made $205 million in the United States, making it the #1 opening movie of the year and the eighth-biggest opening weekend of all time.
The movie made $438.3 million globally and is the biggest R-rated movie internationally. It knocked the other two Deadpool movies down to the second and third spots.
So, I think we can all agree that all of that promotion worked. However, it didn’t really need it because who doesn’t want to see these frenemies go at in the MCU?
Ever since I saw Van Wilder, I have said that Ryan Reynolds has the best ass in acting. I am not the only one who feels this way because Xbox feels the same way. So they created wireless controllers that look like his butt as Deadpool and also one for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
And now I want to Jackman with those controllers. And I am not the only one. Because both actors feel the same way, as you can see in that IGN video. However, their children will be needing therapy because of them.
If you want to own this pair of cheeks, you need to enter the contest on Twitter. Good luck!
Ryan Reynolds is going to spend the week promoting his movie Deadpool & Wolverine. One of his stops was at The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, and what a stop it was. I don’t think his body will ever be the same after the entrance he made. That is because he decided to crowd-surf in the audience, and they tossed him around like he was a lifesize rag doll.
Hopefully, he will be able to continue the press tour because I have not seen any publicity for the third Deadpool movie anywhere. Have you?
The MCU marketing team’s force is strong with Deadpool & Wolverine. So far, they have teamed up with Heinz and Jack in the Box, and now they have joined forces with DiGiorno Pizza for four pizzas that were inspired by the film that comes out on Friday.
The Wade Special: A sweet and salty combo not just for mercs, made with pineapple and black olives to pay homage to Wade Wilson’s pizza in the first movie.
Gimme Chimi: A chimichanga-inspired pizza that is a fiesta for your tastebuds and topped with spicy cumin sauce, beef topping, jalapeno, and cheddar & mozzarella cheeses.
Spicy Wolvie Pie: Crafted with Wolverine and other meat lovers in mind, this pie is stacked with pepperoni, chorizo and bacon.
Maximum Pep: Made with maximum flavor and zero regrets – just like Deadpool’s decisions – Maximum Pep is piled high with sliced and diced pepperoni.
They will only be available for a limited time, so don’t wait too long to try one of the four.
