Deadpool
We are living in a cinematic landscape of squeaky-clean, on-brand comic book franchises that tend to lean towards the conservative side of things in order to protect the image of the corporate brand.

Box Office Report: ‘Zootopia’ rules the box office again in Week 3, ‘Allegiant’ flounders
ZootopiaThree new releases, but (as expected) not one of them was able to unseat Zootopia as the box office champ. One of them, in fact, was a massive for-the-ages flop. Zootopia came in at #1 for the third week in a row, passing $200 million in the process. This is ... -

Box Office Report: Three new releases, but none can unseat the massive ‘Deadpool’
It was a familiar-looking weekend at the movies, with none of the new releases managing to out-perform the New Year’s top two hits. Deadpool hung on to its top slot for a second week, with a big gross that most movies can’t even achieve in their first weekends. This is ... -
What’s New: Weekend of February 19
Three new wide releases this week, but nothing looks poised to unseat Deadpool as the king of the multiplex. The three, for the most part, look like typical dead-of-winter filler that are unlikely to endure — though if anything does, I suspect it will be the week’s most under-the-radar title, ... -
Box Office Report: ‘Deadpool’ opens huge, shatters records
