Deadpool became a box-office success because
of how different it was to other movies of similar genre and style; cinemablend
said that people love the characters “blabber-mouth and general insanity”. This
is completely different to other comic book characters, who just tend to be
serious and only speak when needed, where as Deadpool literally doesn’t shut up
and this creates humor as he annoys other characters in the film and as cinemablend
says “humor goes a very long way into making comic book movies stand out”. We
get this humor from the protagonists constant 4th wall breaks where
he talks to the audience, or references the production of the film, and his non
stop jokes when in the middle of intense fights and normal conversations. As
well as this, the film doesn’t stick with the hero cliché and instead follows
an anti-hero, which allows the film to contain a lot more action and violence
than other comic book movies, but it “never pushes the violence towards
unpleasant gratuity” claims cinemablend. The film also tied into the x-men
films with the main protagonist meeting with a few x-men characters at their
mansion, and for a lot of big x-men fans this was a surprise and a good treat
for them, and by doing this future x-men films could have deadpool in them and
bring back a loved character. Another reason for success is that the film
managed to balance a story and action together very well by giving us deadpools
backstory, the reason why he does what he does and showing a caring side of him
while also giving us the action and humor that we want to see from the
character, and through all of this they still managed to keep humor high
throughout even during times we should have been feeling sorry for the main
protagonists. One of the big reasons that deadpool was a success is because the
director stuck to how the character should actually be and not try and alter it
to how they like it, so in the end we had a protagonist who turned out how
every fan of deadpool wished he would be, a skillful killer who runs his mouth
and doesn’t care what other people think of him. The actor who played deadpool
fit the role so well and managed bring him to life and make him a loveable
character who stands out from other characters in films. Even with a small
budget to make the film, they still managed to make it look great, from the
amazing latex suit up to giant fight scenes with fire and explosions.
A films success is measured directly by the
ticket sales during the opening weekend, and by the overall reviews is gets
from renowned reviewers. In deadpools case they made $132,434,639 in the
opening weekend and a total of $782,612,155 worldwide, which for a film made
from a budget of $58 million is an incredible success, and as well as the money
they received great reviews from top reviewers from 4 up to 5 stars, so overall
Deadpool was a box-office success
