Another long in development comedy sequel to be a critical flop, this one not only got worse audience reviews than the last two (Dumb and Dumber To and Anchorman 2 got a B- and a B Cinemascore while Zoolander 2 got a C+) but opened far under their $25 million+ openings. The harder hit new entry was Zoolander 2 which opened at #4 with $15.8 million. While performing only slightly under expectations, this still was not great for stars Rebel Wilson and especially Dakota Johnson who last year dominated the same weekend with 50 Shades of Grey, though clearly people came out more for the source material there than Johnson. However counter-programming the film was not as enough couples picked Deadpool over HTBS which opened at #3 with $19.9 mil for the 4 day total ($17.8 mil for the 3 day).

First up is How to Be Single which hoped to capture that Valentine's weekend magic that made The Vow and Valentine's Day big hits. While the lack of China market could certainly keep this one from reaching $1 billion, it's clear this film is already a massive success and that green-lighting the sequel before release was no mistake.Īs mentioned above, despite jokes in Deadpool that only dudes would show up, the film earned a fantastic A Cinemascore across all demos which probably explains the lower turnout for the other comedy offerings. Part of this big international push may be due in part to the film getting the equivalent of a PG-13 rating from more lax ratings boards in countries like France and parts of Canada. Many worried that the film would also suffer internationally but has opened to $132.2 internationally, despite two massive markets restricting access to the film (in India the film was censored and in China the film was banned). The film earned a fantastic A Cinemascore in every single demo so this will clearly be a film that has legs. This was also the best cinematic premiere ever for a superhero character, topping previous winner Spider-Man at $114 mil and the best origin story super hero film topping Man of Steel at $116 mil. The film which was in production hell for a while due to the demand from director and star for an R-rating and was finally made for a very low $50 million, but good marketing and/or audience desire for a new kind of superhero take paid off. You can see below all the records Deadpool has broken below, including best opening weekend for an R-rated film and best February opening of all time.
