Lumping several potential blockbusters into such a short release window could force them to cannibalize each other, possibly hindering overall box office performance, which wasn’t an issue when the first Deadpool premiered mostly unopposed in February 2016.
A few limiting factors seem to stand in the way of Deadpool 2 living up to the immense financial success of its predecessor.
One major element worth noting is the fact that Deadpool 2 is nestled firmly between the releases of Avengers: Infinity War and Solo: A Star Wars Story, as all three will debut within a one-month period.
