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?
