Deadpool & Wolverine

Deadpool & Wolverine has certainly built up anticipation among audiences! Fans of both characters were instantly intrigued when news of the film broke. Everyone wondered how the Deadpool franchise would work now that Marvel is Disney-owned.

Now, fans can see the movie in theatres and judge its success for themselves. The movie slashed its way into theatres on July 26!

Great Publicity

Many people point to poor marketing as an issue for a number of Disney-owned releases that turned out to be flops. People claimed not to have seen or heard any promotion for films like Wish.

Surely, this has not been the case with Deadpool & Wolverine. Marketing for the movie has taken social media by storm. In fact, a number of reels featuring the dynamic between co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have gone viral. Moreover, the film has been so well received that spin-offs of the opening musical number are also sweeping the web.

The marketing has done the job of attracting record-breaking audiences. The film is already a hit.

Not only that, but there is an extremely popular Deadpool character meet in Disneyland right now to coincide with the film’s opening. You can read about it right HERE.

Deadpool & Wolverine had the biggest domestic opening ever for an R-rated film.
