“Deadpool and Wolverine” has become the biggest Marvel juggernaut since “Black Panther.”
Shawn Levy’s MAD magazine send up of Marvel movies hit $420 million last night in the US after less than two weeks in release. Experts are saying the target finish will be around $650 million.
How many times have fans gone back to see “D&W”? It would have to be more than a half dozen. This will just go on and on until September 6th, when “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” comes in to scare it off.
Will there be a “D&W” sequel? There will be something, that’s for sure. Since Marvel has run out of ideas to propel anything forward, this kind of remix meta thing has life in it. Why not squeeze the orange until all the juice is gone?
Meantime, Levy and Marvel have just ‘revealed” all the spoilers and cameos and what they mean — even though millions of people already know them since they’ve spent so much seeing the movie. But it’s a good PR plan — tell everyone everything they already know, again!
