It’s a Marvel-ous run.

In its fifth week in theaters, “Deadpool & Wolverine” is still leading at the box office.

The Marvel flick raked in just over $3.6 million on Friday, according to The Numbers.

It is expected to take in up to $20 million during Labor Day weekend, which would mean it would then be surpassing the $600 million milestone in sales, according to Deadline.

“Reagan” came in second, with earnings of $2.6 million on its first day in theaters.

...

“Alien: Romulus,” which was released on Aug. 16, fell down a notch to third, with a just over $2.2 million-dollar take.

...

“It Ends With Us,” moved down one spot to fourth, with $2.1 million in revenue.

...

“Twisters,” which was released on July 19, returned to the top five this week, landing in fifth, with sales of just over $1.8 million.

BOM has D&W doing slightly better internationally for a total of $1.2B so far.

Only fucking MAGA heads would enjoy Ragen. Fucking pyscophath shouldn't have gotten a movie made of him. Worse president next to fucking Trump.

Yes, it's called the Apprentice, will come out a bit before the election (was at some film festivals awhile ago, but couldn't find a US distributor for a bit, but recently did) and by all accounts doesn't make him look good. His lawyers were trying to block it's US release for awhile, so I can't imagine it's a trump positive biopic.

Okay think heard of that one. Glad not a positive movie about him.

Ronald Raygone was the original mentally unfit resident.

I somehow doubt the movie will go much into his complete lack of mental capacity in his last years in office.

Also I doubt there will be much mention in the movie of Nancy Reagan being the Blowjob Queen of Hollywood, or at least the MGM studio lot.

Reagan is bad but have you heard of Richard Nixon or Andrew Johnson? Worst is a big title - one which Trump easily wins but for second place, there's a few decent dickheads.

Unironically, most things that are bad today can be traced to reagan

idk if i can call any president worse than the one who caused the trail of tears

See what can happen if you leave a movie in theaters instead of shunting it on to a streaming service immediately?

And if you have faith in your creative team, so you let them get on with making the movie they want to make rather than Franchise Content 18. Weird.

It's a good movie, way better than Eternals
