      What would you say they should learn from it? I am a bit underwhelmed compared to the prequels. There was a lot of love put into the film with many great scenes and characters, but to me personally, the lack of story felt like the backbone was missing

        Yeah thank Disney for that, I read Ryan had to pitch multiple stories until they accepted one.

        In the first film they had huge budget constraints, in this one they had Disney PR constraints

        That is how I feel. I enjoyed some scenes and cameos, but the story was just not there. It felt more like those SNL movies they used to make. Each scene was just there to set up a joke or a cameo and the story holding everything together wasn’t strong enough. As great as having the yellow suit was and all the fight scenes, I feel the other 2 DP movies are worth a rewatch and this one not so much.

        The love part is what they should learn. So many roles in this movie that people wanted to reprise again.

    I wish these communities had more discussions about the movies themselves rather than just discussing the box office revenue

    As for the next notch in the Merc with the Mouth’s belt, $1B is expected to hit this weekend. When that benchmark is crossed, Deadpool & Wolverine will become only the second U.S. R-rated movie ever to get there — after 2019’s Joker — and will overtake Oppenheimer as the second-biggest R-rated title of all time, adding to its list of records. D&W will reach $1B faster than Joker, though that film did not have a China release. It will also be Disney’s second billion-dollar grosser this year after Inside Out 2, as well as only the second movie of 2024 to the post.

    Yesterday saw the Marvel/Disney juggernaut move up the domestic ranks, passing both Iron Man 3 ($409M) and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ($411M) to enter the Top 10 MCU films ever. D&W currently sits at No. 9 behind Captain Marvel, which it will pass today.

    Overseas, the top 10 markets through Tuesday are as follows: China ($48.3M), UK ($46.4M), Mexico ($34.3M), Australia ($25.9M), Germany ($20.2M), France ($19.9M), Brazil ($18.7M), India ($16.4M), Spain ($15.7M) and Italy ($14M).
