thank god the R rated/action/dark comdey/superhero genre has been rejuvenated!!

Cellar Door

Bring on Lobo!

PhantomStranger

I think Deadpool had a wave of good marketing and no legitimate competition for several weeks. I'm not sure we'll see many more R-rated superhero movies from the major studios.

I don't think London has Fallen will have enough legs to make the $98M the 1st movie made. It will probably make around $50-60M domestic. But, I think it could make it's money back from overseas money.

Why So Blu?

London only cost 60 million to make. It will make money in the foreign territories.

Olympus cost 70 million to make, so the franchise is saving money left and right.

OldBoy

wow! 10 Cloverfield killed it!!

TheMovieman

And Grimsby has been just plain been killed.

Matthew Chmiel

Its not that great considering Cloverfield did $40M on its opening weekend.

OldBoy

this was made for $5 mil. C was made for $25. I'd say pulling 5x your PB in the first weekend is pretty great...

Why So Blu?

Correct.

RichC2

A movie about NYC being destroyed was inevitably going to be more popular than a chamber piece.

Matthew Chmiel

You realize the final product cost $15M right? Paramount and Bad Robot spent nearly $10M retrofitting the film in production to have it fit the Cloverfield banner. Only $10M less than its predecessor and Paramount has spent way more in advertising than its predecessor too (Paramount has already spent $12M+ in television ads alone).

RichC2

How much did Cloverfield (2006) cost to advertise? (On a side note, I do question the accuracy of iSpot.TV when it comes to Paramount's MTV/MTV2 spending, due to their ties with the network)

Where'd you hear about them retrofitting the movie? From what I've been reading, they didn't retrofit anything past the initial scripting stage (they bought the script for The Cellar, brought in Damien Chazelle to modify it, and then filmed it under their codename Valencia. Which seems unnecessary because even then nobody really talked about it, could have just stuck with The Cellar.) But now I'm curious.

fumanstan

Seems like it's still great to me, doesn't matter how it did in relation to the original Cloverfield given it wasn't a true sequel anyway and the marketing from my perspective only ramped up recently.

Why So Blu?

Brothers Grimsby bombed hard.

DRG

So Deadpool would need a little over $42 million more after this weekend to overtake Passion of the Christ as the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time domestically. It's probably a long shot at this point, especially with Batman v Superman on the horizon (and taking away a lot of screens). Still, it should be able to overtake American Sniper for the second place slot (only $22 million away).

fumanstan

It would have been neat to see Deadpool being bigger then Jesus

RichC2

A little article on China's artificially inflated Box Office receipts, this is specifically for Ip Man 3 but don't take those recent, massive numbers entirely at face value (I'm sure everbody here knew that).

Aw, poor WB, so close to having their best opening ever.

It's only gonna be downhill from here...

Deftones

Bets on how big the drop will be in the 2nd weekend? 50%? 60%? more?
