What’s the best way to spend the first night of San Diego Comic-Con? Why, watching a surprise screening of Deadpool & Wolverine. Which is exactly what went down tonight in Hall H after the pic’s stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin and the movie’s director/writer/producer Shawn Levy took the stage with Marvel Studios‘ Kevin Feige for a quick, hysterical chat.
Fans zoomed inside holding Wolverine popcorn buckets — clearly indicating moments before a screening was in store.
The D&W gang even hung around to watch the movie. More surprises we hear are expected at the end.
As Deadline already told you the (technically) first R-rated movie in Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe is barreling toward an R-rated record preview night between $35M-$40M+, easily decimating the previous record held by Deadpool 2 ($18.6M). Exhibition and tracking figured Deadpool & Wolverine would open to $160M-$170M, however, a $200M 3-day wouldn’t be out of the question. Many are expecting an R-rated record for the Levy feature which will notch way ahead of Deadpool‘s opening record for the rating of $132.4M.
Why doesn’t Marvel Studios open more movies over Comic-Con weekend? It’s clear a festive tradition began tonight in the birthplace of California.
