Another upcoming slow weekend with only Transforms One being the new major release. IO2 is likely on its last weekend, with Alien:Romulus and DP&W looking to continue likely until at least mid-October.

Speaking of Deadpool and Wolverine, it’s now passed the 1st Avengers movie in the US and has become the 5th biggest comic book movie domestically of all time.

Hopefully, these results will push Disney and Marvel Studios to bring back Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

I have no doubt that Marvel, and Disney in general, is in the Ryan Reynolds business. You'll likely see him popup in lots of things from another Deadpool appearance (or three) to other movies for the Mouse. And based on what I've seen from interviews he appears to be open to doing more with Disney.

Preliminary weekend numbers -

DP&W should officially make it into the top-20 all time when the numbers solidify, just inching out Last Jedi.

Disney has 16 of the top 25 movies of all time, with 2 more added just this year.

DP&W is rumored to go to digital October 1st.

Another weekend with not much new to report. Wild Robot opens, but so far preview numbers aren't stellar. I saw it, it was good, and funny. But not sure if it'll spread like a wild fire or die off just a quick. And Coppola's magnum opus Megalopolis appears to be not anything that anyone wants to see but a few cinephiles.

DP&W and Romulus appear to be on their last weekend, both ended up doing extremely well for Disney.

I actually think Deadpool & Wolverine’s last weekend in the Top 10 will be the opening weekend of Joker 2.

It goes digital on October 1st, which is usually when movies drops a majority of theaters.
Didn’t hurt Inside Out 2 when it came out on digital August 20th. Nor did it hurt Avengers: Endgame either. As long as it holds its ground and get a boost on Columbus Day Weekend, it should pass Barbie domestically right before it hits Disney+.

Point taken on IO2, however Endgame was prepandemic so it doesn't count as box office rules are different now.

Joker 2 opens next weekend, so it still is likely to lose a majority of its theaters by next weekend anyways. So we'll see what happens but I don't see it still being in 2000+ theaters much past this weekend. As for beating Barbie, we'll see.

Might still hold well enough to pass Barbie. It hasn’t lost steam so far.

You missed the edit in my post, but I said we'll see on Barbie. DP&W only brought in $5M domestic for all of last weekend, and I think it'll be lucky to get maybe more than half of that this weekend, as its been dropping every weekend for the last few weeks. So we'll see what happens, but if it drops theaters next week it'll be harder.

Harder, but not impossible.
