Honestly; Hugh and Ryan doing masses of well done PR and coming across as genuinely enthusiastic and engaged in speaking with *everyone* played a huge part in this. From Canada, to NZ, to Australia to China, outside of the fantastic work done by others this amazing junket was a large factor in such a strong early opening. This shouldn’t go unnoticed.
@@mathsalot8099 exactly. Far more engaging than a panel of people sitting around a stage being called to speak by a monotone voice then going onto to sit down with an interviewer they barely remember for exactly 3-5 minutes. Hugh & Ryan, (and Shaun as well) were genuinely passionate goofballs for extended periods in interviews and instead of there only being maybe one 20+ minute chat with them online there are 10s with all sorts of outlets & institutions. I was so surprised by the pace they have kept up, especially Ryan since he was involved with Post up until they locked the film.
I just saw Deadpool & Wolverine at a noon showing (Monday), and the theatre was 1/3 full. At noon. On a Monday. It was great to see people coming out for it!
My theater was full on a Tuesday, I went to a 4 pm showing expecting to be mellow, but no. I arrived 40 before showing and it was a one hour queue at the candy shop (9 cashiers were open) Missed the first scene but really wanted popcorn Never seen it as full on a weekday before This was in Mexico (Oaxaca)
Glen Powell said it recently “when people say a genres dead, it just means there is an audience not being catered to”. Superhero fatigue didn’t exist, give that audience what they want and they show up.
54 year old here (almost in the Hip 55 + category), and saw it Sunday in a packed theatre with an overly packed parking lot because of how many of the screens were showing D&W. I'm still laughing and will probably see it again this weekend to catch what I'm sure I missed my first viewing. I think that perhaps older audiences went is also due to us starting watching the MCU in 2008, and we are invested.
Unfortunate for Twisters to have to go up against Deadpool in just its second week. I think that was entirely behind the big drop. Twisters had great word of mouth.
@@misaelbarrientos4922 absolutely. I was hoping to see it in “4D”, but couldn’t find a screen. They really made a mistake not releasing it a week or two earlier.
This weekend, the theaters in my area were the busiest I've seen them in years. They were so busy that it took a lot of effort to find a showing at any time that wasn't sold out. It was exciting even though it messed up our plans to see Twisters and d&w the same day. I'm in a pretty rural area, so this was rare even before the closures.
Something I’ve always appreciated about The Wolverine (2013) was that it was pretty contained narratively and it committed to being a solo film more than most Marvel movies dare to anymore. I think it would have turned out differently if it had come out today 🤔 Great video Dan!
Deadpool & Wolverine's legs might be helped by Airplane! syndrome, where the jokes are so tightly packed that you need to see the movie a second time to catch them all. I know I missed some because I was still laughing about the last one.
I missed a few because my fiancée kept leaning over to comment on the previous joke lol, usually I’m a big whisperer during movies but this time I was just engaged - the nice guy’s arc’s conclusion took me out of it for a moment but then the way the big multiverse fight wrapped up (my eyes started to glaze over right away with the sheer quantity) was just perfect.
I also think people will see it multiple times because it's just an easy watch. I have a membership to Alamo so I may go see it again later just to decompress. There just aren't a lot of adult movies that are fun watches that make it to the theaters.
On the Franchise Tracker: MCU chart, you should be able to eliminate the space between rows to give you 1-2 more rows worth of films. After that, it'd be reducing the space between columns AND the column width to get one more column in. Adding two more rows (the easier addition) gets you to 45 films, after which you could add another column of 9 for 54, which would probably be your maximum without reducing the font (which you may have to do if you reduce the column width, but hard to tell from this vantage point). Sorry for being a nerd. :P
Always happy to see Dan be able to sink his teeth in to good box office news! And I always appreciate your efforts to find fun International posters for the worldwide charts. That Muay Thai-style Deadpool and Wolverine poster is awesome!
You were only 16 when Hugh first stepped onto the big screen with those claws! Do you think your younger self would believe you if you told them that Hugh would still be kicking ass as Wolverine 24 years later hehe
Just shows how starved for good entertainment we’ve been. And if most parents are anything like me, the wave of younger kids is coming. I wasn’t going to take my younger teenagers to see it blind, but now that I’ve seen it I plan to go back with them.
Watched it for the first time yesterday evening. Almost a week after the premiere here in Sweden and my theater was almost packed. Can't remember when that happened last time. It's also the first movie in years I'm contemplating watching a second time in theater.
And to think, Deadpool was never going to be made if not for the test footage being released and fans going nuts. I would love to have transcripts of the meetings before that footage was released and after the footage was released.
The Fabulous Four's poster looks absolutely hilarious to me, Better Midler's arms look photoshopped in and the entire thing looks like the CEO needed a poster but everybody forgot that it had to be made so he got his intern to make one but they'd never touched a computer before and cranked it out in ten minutes
@@DanMurrellMoviesHey Dan, please make a video on domestic and worldwide collection of all the franchises both nominal and adjusted with inflation. Secondly, if possible can you do that for the studios and media giants also [including pre post merger if any]
Next week can you do a chart of where Deadpool and Wolverine rank in the franchise tracker of all Fox marvel movies since it paid such respect to all of them- not just x men? Like where do the F4, blade, etc rank amidst all of it
It sucks that it looks like Twisters is not gonna do as well as we hope given the international crowed is not there for this one like they were for the original but hats off to it for making another $35M or so domestically up against the juggernaut that is DP3. What an insane thing we are about to see with that movie!
@@ther3aper561 me too because I had predicted that maybe just maybe it would make a little above 500 million making it the newest $1 billion franchise but I don’t even think it’s going to get close to 500 at this point
I think a big part of deadpools success vs other blockbusters even marvel ones is the marketing. Most marvel movies get announced on a slate. Other blockbusters get announced on shareholder calls. Deadpool and wolverine got announced by a very excited ryan reynolds and hugh jackman on a youtube video posted to ryans personal channel. Both of them did alot to promote it. There is always so much enthusiasm in the marketing behind these films from ryan, i think thats part of what made the first one succeed. This time we had hugh jackman too. I don't think that studios are willing to put in the effort to create enthusiasm like that most of the time
Thank you for all the charts Dan! That is an amazing opening. Also enjoyed the flashback. I can't believe The Wolverine came out that long ago. Time flies. Hope you post a review for the new Amazon Batman show & Trap.
Dan, a reminder that Inside Out 2 hasn't opened here in Japan yet. It opens this week on Thursday, August 1st. It should do very well here and significantly add to the film's Worldwide Gross. Also, a question... why do you think Twisters is under performing worldwide? Is it too regional to the United States? (Twisters also opens here in Japan on Aug 1st)
I'm really happy with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's movie doing so well. those poor sods were EVERYWHERE, on every press junket, YT thing, late night show - they did it all. so their lack of sleep and complete overexposure has at least paid off handsomely.
Well, Dan Murrell, the weekend actuals for Deadpool & Wolverine in the US came out with $211,435,291 and it has now beaten Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest by $62K to become the 5th biggest July opening weekend in America, adjusted for inflation. Hope you can bring that statistic up on your show next week.
Longlegs was tied to Deadpool at drive-ins. More than half the audience left before (or during) the movie and Twisters was tied to the Bikeriders again. Three cars were watching when I left after Longlegs.
I don't think D&W will earn more than Inside Out 2. If I were to guess it will hold like Endgame because so many people went to see on opening weekend specifically to get ahead of spoilers.
Once again: A Domestic / Intl split in the Worldwide Top 5 would be great. Here it would underline very efficiently that while Twisters remains mostly a domestic play (>70%), D&W is relatively balanced and DM4 and IO2 bring in around 70% of their gross from the international market.
It'll be interesting to see if Deadpool and Wolverine is much more frontloaded as both a Rated R and Comicbook movie. I hope it has long legs but historically those two genres don't
9:40 Typo - "Deadpol and Wolverine" Deadpol - an urban fantasy film in which Ryan Reynolds plays a wisecracking cop who has a near-death experience which gives him the ability to see ghosts as well as the true nature of vampires, liches, zombies and revenants, so he is recruited to join a secret organization which polices the undead.
I really hope Your Honor streaming success will give us a 3rd season. It's been finished / canceled but Cranston and the creator both said they're keen for another season.
It makes so much sense that the audience skews towards people in their 30s and 40s, we have already reached the 20 year nostalgia cycle with the X-men movies, and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. That character was huge in their teens. I feel kinda old now.
have you ever done a MCU Phase tracker? like tracking how each phase's movies totals compare to each other? would be interesting to see how the phases as a whole have progressed over time
As a millennial, I will basically always show out for Hugh Jackman Wolverine. I loved the animated series as a young kid and being able to see a live action movie as a pre-teen was impactful. So, sorry to Hugh Jackman but I will watch him until he's 90 if that's what he wants to do. But I did a double feature with Twisters (my second time), and plan on a double feature next weekend (Twisters and Trap). It's been a fun few weekends at the movies.
Hey Dan, long time fan. Love the show. One suggestion: for the International and Worldwide weekend charts, could you put below the weekend, the total to date, as you do on the domestic chart
excellent video as always. A thought occured while watching, that a chart covering budgets might be a useful thing to have on the show. Maybe it could be a simple as "Here's the 10 highest budgets of the year" or perhaps a top 10 for "Most profitable movie of the year" based on those calculations that you do for some films
Love seeing the spike in movie theater attendance for this movie… I’ve noticed that several of the old Cinemagic theaters around me have recently reopened as Apple Cinemas theaters… I don’t remember this in your recent video about theater chains and was wondering if you knew anything about this and why Apple is choosing now to get into the brick and mortar theater business
What are people thinking, then (Dan included if you're here): will Deadpool and Wolverine gross more worldwide than Inside Out 2 by the end of its run?!
Notwithstanding its incredible opening, it would be unprecedentedly shocking for it to pass 1.5 billion. Both super hero movies and R rated movies generally see fairly steep drop-offs compared to opening weekends - even when word of mouth is strong - while animated movies leg out extremely long. That why despite D&W greatly outcrossing Inside Out 2 in the opening weekend, it will probably outgross D&W pretty comfortably in the end. Although, time will ultimately tell
When you talk about the grosses of Illumination/Pixar/Marvel, I think you should call it 'Studio Tracker' rather than 'Franchise Tracker' because there is a subtle difference between the two but your choice
Question for Dan: I don't know whether you have enough data to answer this, but has 3D made a difference with Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine? They were the first 3D movies I had noticed in years around here (meaning Finland) besides some small documentaries.
Well, I don't know about Finnland, but ever since the MCU started doing 3D releases, they never stopped, and I believe the same holds true for Disney overall. I am very much annoyed by most (all?) other studios deciding pretty exactly ten years after Avatar had kicked off this era of 3D film that they didn't want to do them anymore. The last few outside Disney that I know of were ones that were supposed to come out in 2020 and got delayed to varying degrees, including Dune Part 1, but adding insult to injury, Dune Part 2 inconsistently made a version for an extra wide screen format instead. All that said, Disney US annoyingly stopped selling 3D Blu-rays after Civil War, and Disney UK stopped after Endgame, too.
That's not a fair takeaway from that chart. Almost a third of Gen Zers aren't old enough to buy a ticket so that demographic isn't properly represented at all. Many Gen Zers who saw the movie would be counted as older because someone else bought the ticket for them
I don’t know how they accurately tell the demographics of the people watching the movie, unless they have someone at each theater guessing and submitting these numbers, how do we accurately estimate age groups?
43:00 I think The Boys biggest strength is that it is treated creatively as a SHOW not a movie. I know some of you like the shows that feel like extra long movies but I & many others want shows to be shows NOT segmented movies!
There are some episodes in The Boys which have a story have a beginning and ending inside the episode. In this day and age this is a rarity for 8 episode seasons. I mean, you want to watch the boys and their enemies face off mutated animals? There's an episode of that. Or how about Homelander torturing the people who raised him? Also one episode. They don't separate over 3 or 4 episodes, they're self contained. It helps on rewatching the episodes later. It's serialised with some touces of episodic. Compare that to Acolyte. Even House of the Dragon, as good as it is, has some problems with pacing due to how it's structured.
I think there is a less than 5% chance that D&W ends up grossing more than Inside Out 2 either domestically or globally, but that shouldn’t take away how impressive this opening was

Loved that video of you during the ad 😅
I saw Sing Sing in LA last week when I went on vacation. Loved it. Frontrunner for Best Picture. I give it a See it Now.
Dan, just to let you know... you made a typo at 44:19 regarding the NCIS hours watched.
If that keeps you up at night, I apologize. :P
Hey Dan, where do you get your data on the demographics of who’s watching movies as far as race goes?

@Cuban-Jo no and yes. What they gave them here was genuine time and attention for their content. Something that is grossly lacking most of the time.
@Cuban-Jo that's not at all what I said. Saying "exactly" and then following up with completely different is disingenuous.
@@mathsalot8099 think they were responding to me. Anyway let’s just feel good about this!
I just saw Deadpool & Wolverine at a noon showing (Monday), and the theatre was 1/3 full. At noon. On a Monday. It was great to see people coming out for it!
Nice! I had a nearly full theater at 3 pm last Thursday... This movie is definitely bringing people out!
My theater was full on a Tuesday, I went to a 4 pm showing expecting to be mellow, but no. I arrived 40 before showing and it was a one hour queue at the candy shop (9 cashiers were open)
Missed the first scene but really wanted popcorn
Never seen it as full on a weekday before
This was in Mexico (Oaxaca)
Glen Powell said it recently “when people say a genres dead, it just means there is an audience not being catered to”. Superhero fatigue didn’t exist, give that audience what they want and they show up.
By far the most comprehensive look at what happened last week in theaters and streaming. I am always amazed by the quality of your work.
Charts have been much more fun to watch this July with movies doing big numbers.
20:17: I love the creative freedom the International posters have.

Huge shame it only had so much time in the premium screens
@@misaelbarrientos4922 absolutely. I was hoping to see it in “4D”, but couldn’t find a screen. They really made a mistake not releasing it a week or two earlier.
This film is going to be the equivalent of a natural disaster for Twisters.
It’s not a terrible drop given the competition. Fell by 56% which is fairly average. I was expecting 60+% fall.
@@rossj4755 same I’m so bummed. And not to knock on Deadpool but I feel Twisters definitely deserved those theaters more lol
Deadpool & Wolverine is the first movie in over a year that I saw more than once in the theater.
This weekend, the theaters in my area were the busiest I've seen them in years. They were so busy that it took a lot of effort to find a showing at any time that wasn't sold out. It was exciting even though it messed up our plans to see Twisters and d&w the same day. I'm in a pretty rural area, so this was rare even before the closures.
Honestly not surprised, we went to IMAX screenings on Thursday and Saturday and both were packed.

Well put. Loved Deadpool and Wolverine, happy to see it do so well.
I've been waiting all weekend for my dose of charts with Dan! What a phenomenal opening weekend.
7:07
Well, the updated numbers are in and Deadpool and Wolverine managed to eek out Dead Man's Chest.
Deadpool & Wolverine's legs might be helped by Airplane! syndrome, where the jokes are so tightly packed that you need to see the movie a second time to catch them all. I know I missed some because I was still laughing about the last one.
I missed a few because my fiancée kept leaning over to comment on the previous joke lol, usually I’m a big whisperer during movies but this time I was just engaged - the nice guy’s arc’s conclusion took me out of it for a moment but then the way the big multiverse fight wrapped up (my eyes started to glaze over right away with the sheer quantity) was just perfect.

56% drop for Twisters, after a very strong debut AND going up against a juggernaut in DaW which would share an audience seems like an EXCELLENT result

That international Deadpool & Wolverine poster is 1. Absolutely fantastic and 2. Somehow reminding me of the Hercules comics.

Waiting for this all weekend. Mmm, numbers.
I think a big part of deadpools success vs other blockbusters even marvel ones is the marketing. Most marvel movies get announced on a slate. Other blockbusters get announced on shareholder calls.
Deadpool and wolverine got announced by a very excited ryan reynolds and hugh jackman on a youtube video posted to ryans personal channel. Both of them did alot to promote it. There is always so much enthusiasm in the marketing behind these films from ryan, i think thats part of what made the first one succeed. This time we had hugh jackman too. I don't think that studios are willing to put in the effort to create enthusiasm like that most of the time
Those 2013 compaisons are eerie. Same stars, even a Dispicable Me film and horror film. The heck coincidence is that.
Thank you for all the charts Dan! That is an amazing opening. Also enjoyed the flashback. I can't believe The Wolverine came out that long ago. Time flies. Hope you post a review for the new Amazon Batman show & Trap.
The estimates are climbing now, $211 million, now over $50k per theater average.
Higher now when I checked this morning
what an exciting week, I've been looking forward to this video
I saw Deadpool and Wolverine at a drive-in, and it was paired with Longlegs. A little jarring but still a great time!
Thanks Dan
Couldn't wait to hear your thoughts on the Deadpool/Wolverine box office! Great video, thanks for your work
Nice! I hope to watch it again this week.
Great work Dan. Love the show.
Well deserved re Deadpool 😎😁👏👏
Dan, a reminder that Inside Out 2 hasn't opened here in Japan yet. It opens this week on Thursday, August 1st. It should do very well here and significantly add to the film's Worldwide Gross. Also, a question... why do you think Twisters is under performing worldwide? Is it too regional to the United States? (Twisters also opens here in Japan on Aug 1st)
The last film we saw in a theatre was Monkey Man, but we are planning to go to Deadpool 3 this Wednesday.
Go. Stop reading the comments. Don't get spoiled.
Martin Scorsese watching Gambit’s monologue about ejaculation “This is cinema!”
Shawn Levy is a great dude I'm so happy for him, it's so ironic though, so much of his work is kid friendly for the biggest R movie lol
Might be why the villain Mr. Paradox felt like he'd be comfortable scheming against children.
Joker was R-rated and that made a billion and with a lower CinemaScore than Deadpool 1-3
I'm really happy with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's movie doing so well. those poor sods were EVERYWHERE, on every press junket, YT thing, late night show - they did it all. so their lack of sleep and complete overexposure has at least paid off handsomely.
Can’t wait for the Deadpool breakdown. You are awesome 👍🏻

Well, Dan Murrell, the weekend actuals for Deadpool & Wolverine in the US came out with $211,435,291 and it has now beaten Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest by $62K to become the 5th biggest July opening weekend in America, adjusted for inflation.

A thought occured while watching, that a chart covering budgets might be a useful thing to have on the show. Maybe it could be a simple as "Here's the 10 highest budgets of the year" or perhaps a top 10 for "Most profitable movie of the year" based on those calculations that you do for some films
Love seeing the spike in movie theater attendance for this movie… I’ve noticed that several of the old Cinemagic theaters around me have recently reopened as Apple Cinemas theaters… I don’t remember this in your recent video about theater chains and was wondering if you knew anything about this and why Apple is choosing now to get into the brick and mortar theater business
Really good informative video man
I had 210.5 million in my mind, deadline was still saying 180 on Saturday lol
What are people thinking, then (Dan included if you're here): will Deadpool and Wolverine gross more worldwide than Inside Out 2 by the end of its run?!
I don’t think it will, no.
Notwithstanding its incredible opening, it would be unprecedentedly shocking for it to pass 1.5 billion. Both super hero movies and R rated movies generally see fairly steep drop-offs compared to opening weekends - even when word of mouth is strong - while animated movies leg out extremely long. That why despite D&W greatly outcrossing Inside Out 2 in the opening weekend, it will probably outgross D&W pretty comfortably in the end. Although, time will ultimately tell
If you blindly take the opening and compare to infinity war, it will make about $1.8B! That's how this works, right?
It be interesting to see how much deadpool will make in its 2nd weekend
Some but not that hard I wager
When you talk about the grosses of Illumination/Pixar/Marvel, I think you should call it 'Studio Tracker' rather than 'Franchise Tracker' because there is a subtle difference between the two but your choice
Leave it to Dan to find a weekend in box-office history where Hugh Jackman was Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds playing a snail 😂👏
Question for Dan: I don't know whether you have enough data to answer this, but has 3D made a difference with Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine? They were the first 3D movies I had noticed in years around here (meaning Finland) besides some small documentaries.
Well, I don't know about Finnland, but ever since the MCU started doing 3D releases, they never stopped, and I believe the same holds true for Disney overall. I am very much annoyed by most (all?) other studios deciding pretty exactly ten years after Avatar had kicked off this era of 3D film that they didn't want to do them anymore. The last few outside Disney that I know of were ones that were supposed to come out in 2020 and got delayed to varying degrees, including Dune Part 1, but adding insult to injury, Dune Part 2 inconsistently made a version for an extra wide screen format instead. All that said, Disney US annoyingly stopped selling 3D Blu-rays after Civil War, and Disney UK stopped after Endgame, too.
40 year old male…saw it Thursday at 4pm…..it was all people in 30-60 range.😂 probably because only old people see movies that early
Great Job!!
You sleep with glasses Dan? Helix is truly remarkable :D
Gen Z didn't turn out as much for this one. Proof that MCU should continue to be geared toward Millennials.
That's not a fair takeaway from that chart. Almost a third of Gen Zers aren't old enough to buy a ticket so that demographic isn't properly represented at all. Many Gen Zers who saw the movie would be counted as older because someone else bought the ticket for them

@spacemanspliff7983 lol you think people in their early 20's earns alot to spend frivolously.
I don’t know how they accurately tell the demographics of the people watching the movie, unless they have someone at each theater guessing and submitting these numbers, how do we accurately estimate age groups?
43:00 I think The Boys biggest strength is that it is treated creatively as a SHOW not a movie. I know some of you like the shows that feel like extra long movies but I & many others want shows to be shows NOT segmented movies!
There are some episodes in The Boys which have a story have a beginning and ending inside the episode. In this day and age this is a rarity for 8 episode seasons. I mean, you want to watch the boys and their enemies face off mutated animals? There's an episode of that. Or how about Homelander torturing the people who raised him? Also one episode. They don't separate over 3 or 4 episodes, they're self contained. It helps on rewatching the episodes later. It's serialised with some touces of episodic. Compare that to Acolyte. Even House of the Dragon, as good as it is, has some problems with pacing due to how it's structured.
I didn't think Insight Out 2 could be dethroned for biggest movie, not anymore. wow Deadpool and Wolverine
I think there is a less than 5% chance that D&W ends up grossing more than Inside Out 2 either domestically or globally, but that shouldn’t take away how impressive this opening was
