Reynolds had a similar task to overcome with Deadpool, made even more difficult by the fact that Fox allowed Reynolds and company to go through with a graphically violent and nudity-filled R-Rated version of the character.
He had not taken on the mainstream stature that he enjoys today. When Downey, Jr., took on Iron Man, he was a character primarily known to comic book readers.
But on a $58 million budget, it is unquestionably an unexpected smash hit for distributor Fox and for Reynolds, whose performance has been said to have the same effect that Robert Downey, Jr.'s did on both the star and the character when he stepped into the role of Iron Man for the first time. If it did get there, it would require some significant additional help from foreign markets. The likelihood of it hitting the $1 billion mark is not as great since theatrical films are faster burns, and it appears to be slowing down in the U.S. Of course, whether it ends up beating Passion or not, Deadpool is unlikely to best the accomplishment of Gibson's film when adjusting for inflation, as it sits at $518 million when adjusted from 2004 to 2016 numbers, according to Box Office Mojo. In its latest full weekend, Deadpool is pulling in $16.4 million. The task of taking down The Passion of the Christ will be a bit more difficult, as it will have to gross around $60 million more in the U.S. Meanwhile the film picked up an additional $241 million overseas for an overall take of close to $612 million.ĭeadpool's box office numbers have been quite impressive, and if the film stays in theaters long enough, it will likely overtake American Sniper. box office take clocked in at a staggering $370 million, which is $20 million higher than No. Rather than take the story at its tamer apostolic Gospel descriptions, Gibson incorporated physician theories based on historical descriptions of the Crucifixion and added in some of the more horrific imagery from the writings of Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich for a dark and brutally violent take on the story.Īs a result, Gibson was able to make the film on a relative micro budget when compared to most mega-blockbusters ($30 million altogether).
