Deadpool 500 word essay

How Deadpool became a box office success.

There are numerous reasons as to why Deadpool became a box office success. One of these reasons is that the main actor in the movie, the one who plays Deadpool, is Ryan Reynolds who is well known from his roles in Green lantern, X-men Origins and many more. The two movies mentioned are also superhero movies. The fact that Ryan Reynolds has previously starred in Superhero movies shows how he is well known in this sector of film and people who are big fans of previous titles will want to see the movie.

Another reason why Deadpool was a box office success was that they had a production value of 58million US dollars, a value that many films can only dream of having. This allows the film to have more special effects and a more realistic feel to the movie, creating a better viewing experience. As they also had so much money in production it will allow the title to advertise a lot more and get themselves out there for the public which allows more people to talk about Deadpool and allows the word to get across.

Deadpool was released on February 10^th 2016 and whilst this movie was out there were not very many noticeable films on showing at the cinemas. The only other well-known title was Zoolander 2. This means that when people are looking at what to watch in the cinema they will lean towards Deadpool as they may not have seen the first Zoolander or may fancy watching the film that everyone’s talking about. The fact that there was not really another noticeable film out at the time meant that Deadpool had no direct competition meaning that it was doing  a lot better than all the other films at the time as it was the only good one on the cinema.

The quality of this film was outstanding with it winning multiple awards such as MTV award for best fight scene, Kerrang! Award for best film and best comedic performances. This meant that because they were in the limelight for having good quality and winning awards it makes more people want to go and watch it.

As Deadpool is part of Marvel it was always going to be success based on how successful Marvel is as a brand. Everyone who watches the Marvel series or reads the Marvel comics will make Deadpool a must see as it is part of one of the biggest film franchises of all time, including Spiderman, Iron Man and many others. This is the first in the Deadpool franchise and at this rate I can see there being numerous more.

The Soundtrack of Deadpool is majority filled with Rock and Roll music which in my opinion is key as to why the film feels so in your face. The soundtrack was also released around the same time as the movie so that people who enjoyed the movies soundtrack can buy it separately meaning that even more money was generated from the film.
