Last March, it was Disney’s Zootopia that ended the reign of Deadpool at the top of the US box office.
It’s also possible that the giant Deadpool statue scared people into running for movie theaters in order to find safety.
The super-anti-hero movie has finally seen its Japanese box office release and if there was any fear that piracy or other factors might have impacted the delayed start, those fears have now been relieved.
Whether or not piracy was an issue, it doesn’t appear to have had a significantly negative impact on the box office.
