Still, the mere fact that Deadpool 2 was able to set the record with a specific chain is interesting.
It’s not clear what Regal did to entice more people to buy tickets to Deadpool 2 at its theaters.
In this case, we’re talking about a record for only one specific theater chain.
Deadline points out that some Regal theaters are showing double features on opening night of both Deadpool movies, but other film chains are doing that as well, so that alone isn’t the reason.
