JAKARTA - Who would have thought, the combination of two iconic Marvel characters, Deadpool and airshed, was able to create extraordinary breakthroughs in the world of cinema!

The latest film that brings Ryan Reynolds together as the big-mouth Deadpool with Hugh Jackman as the sharp shower successfully earned a fantastic income in his first screening.

In a short time, Reuters reported "Deadpool & air" on July 27, managed to earn 38.5 million US dollars (equivalent to Rp627.7 billion) at the box office of the United States and Canada.

This is an extraordinary achievement, especially because this film is R-rated genre, which means it cannot be watched by spectators under the age of 17 years. However, this has become an attraction in itself, making fans even more curious about the hilarious and violent actions offered.

While analysts predict that the film's revenue will continue to skyrocket to reach 175 million to 185 million US dollars this weekend. If that's the case, "Deadpool & airing" will be the highest opening-income film in 2024, beating the previous record held by Pixar's animated film, "Inside Out 2".

This success has become a breath of fresh air for Disney after several previous films such as "The Marvels" and "Haunted Mansion" were less than welcome. Apparently, a strong mix of characters, coupled with adult humor and action without limits, became the right success formula for the giant studio.
