Instead, now the film has Ron Howard’s Solo: A Star Wars Story to compete with in its second weekend, and that’s definitely not ideal.
The Merc With The Mouth is riding high on an “A” CinemaScore, and has received better reviews from critics than the Han Solo feature, but this is Star Wars we’re talking about.
As I’ve mentioned in this column for weeks, the huge question mark is what kind of legs we can expect from it.
Everyone is going to want to see it just so they can have their own opinion on it, and that’s going to steal a lot of attention away from Deadpool 2.
