It also signaled a boost for star Ryan Reynolds (his largest opening box office record ever) and first-time director Tim Miller. It was a Guinness moment for 20<sup>th<\/sup> Century Fox as well: 2005\u2019s \u201cStar Wars: The Force Awakens\u201d is only second to this. And to top this off, \u201cDeadpool\u201d experienced the biggest \u201cX-Men\u201d related debut in the history of the movie franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Aided in no small part by a smart viral campaign and the determined hustle of Ryan Reynolds who was instrumental in the project\u2019s development, \u201cDeadpool\u201d is also the most successful R-rated film since\u2026. Well, does anyone out there remember that \u201cThe Matrix Reloaded\u201d was R-rated? This has been extremely eye-opening for the industry since the common train of thought has been to keep mainstream output within the PG\/PG-13 realm of classification. It ensures a larger audience of tweens to adults whereas an R-rating alienates anyone younger than seventeen years of age. However, \u201cDeadpool\u201d is not the first R-rated comic book adaptation, nor the first \u201cadult\u201d superhero movie. So why now? Why are all eyes on \u201cDeadpool?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 725px; height: 408px;\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/default\/files\/uploads\/Deadpool-assessment-of-adult-superhero.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"rtecenter\">20th Century Fox<\/h6>\n<p>Hollywood is a beholder of market trends and, therefore, tends to suffer from short-term memory loss. While previous adult takes on a comic book or superhero theme have displayed their own benchmarks of success, the idea that a ribald character who is a part of an established, <em>family audience<\/em> franchise universe could achieve any amount of popularity seems alien to some. Yet, a great deal of established characters have appeared in story arcs on paper that are absolutely not for kids. Frank Miller\u2019s \u201cThe Dark Knight Returns\u201d is arguably one of the most influential superhero series of its kind. Starring an elderly Bruce Wayne who gives up retirement to fight a new breed of baddies, that series is decidedly adult in tone and nature. The graphic design also inspired the look of \u201cdark superhero\u201d movies that came out during the 90s, a whole spate of flicks that were in turn inspired by Tim Burton\u2019s \u201cBatman\u201d which in itself was directly inspired by Miller\u2019s graphic novel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 725px; height: 366px;\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/default\/files\/uploads\/Comic-Covers.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"rtecenter\">Titles like Frank Miller&#8217;s &#8220;The Dark Knight&#8221; returns and Alan Moore&#8217;s &#8220;Watchmen&#8221; and &#8220;The Killing Joke&#8221; not only brought about a more adult sensibility to comic books but influenced the cinematic direction of superhero films as well.<\/h6>\n<p>Chris Nolan\u2019s \u201cDark Knight\u201d trilogy was not only also inspired by \u201cDark Knight Returns,\u201d but Miller\u2019s Noir-like \u201cBatman Year One\u201d along with further contributions from a mad genius named Alan Moore. Moore is not only the creator of yet another highly influential (and very adult) series titled \u201cWatchmen,\u201d but he wrote what is considered another seminal Batman tale and a fairly disturbing one at that. \u201cThe Killing Joke\u201d pushes the envelope and then some on the Joker\u2019s psychopathy not to mention the Caped Crusader\u2019s fascistic violent tendencies. It was \u201cThe Killing Joke\u2019s\u201d tone that directly influenced Nolan\u2019s own Batman trilogy.<\/p>\n<p>And yet Nolan\u2019s trilogy and Burton\u2019s 1989 take were rated PG-13 whereas their inspirations were considerably more \u201chardcore\u201d than that. It seems that for many decades Hollywood resisted the urge to push their superheroes into R-rated territory regardless of the source. Or not. Attempts have been made. Actually, <em>a lot<\/em> of attempts have been made and some have achieved their share of financial or critical success while others are long forgotten. Heck, there have been some very critically acclaimed comic book adaptions, films you probably didn\u2019t even know originated as sequential images on a printed page. Titles like 2003\u2019s \u201cAmerican Splendor,\u201d 2001\u2019s \u201cGhost World,\u201d 2005\u2019s \u201cA History of Violence\u201d and 2002\u2019s \u201cRoad to Perdition\u201d were not just met with positive reviews during their release, but enjoyed award recognition as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSin City\u201d was a comic book adaptation. That was Rated-R. As was 1994\u2019s \u201cThe Crow.\u201d Both were fairly successful during their initial release (although morbid curiosity following the death of \u201cCrow\u201d star Brandon Lee might have had something to do with that).<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 725px; height: 408px;\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/default\/files\/uploads\/The-Crow%20copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"rtecenter\">Still from &#8220;The Crow,&#8221; an earlier example of successful comic book adaptation that was rated-R. Photo credit: Dimension Films<\/h6>\n<p>So \u201cDeadpool\u201d is not the first R-rated comic book movie, not by a long shot. Nor is it the first R-rated <em>superhero<\/em> movie. An argument could be made that films like \u201cSplendor,\u201d \u201cGhost World,\u201d and \u201cHistory of Violence\u201d had a built-in audience made up of sophisticated, indie-film cinephiles as opposed to the vast market base made up of fan boys and girls. But take a look at this:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 1994: \u201cThe Crow\u201d based on the comic book character created by James O\u2019Barr. Earned $11,700,000 during its opening weekend and eventually grossed over $50 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 1998: \u201cBlade\u201d directed by Stephen Norrington. Based on the Marvel character. Grossed $17 million during its opening weekend. It\u2019s sequel \u201cBlade II,\u201d which was also R-rated, pulled in an additional $15 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 2006: \u201cV for Vendetta\u201d based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore, had grossed over $70 million from the United States alone and was the number one film during its opening weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 2007: \u201c300\u201d based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller. Grossed $28 million during its opening weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 2008: \u201cWanted\u201d based on the comic miniseries by Mark Millar and J.G. Jones. Earned over $341 million worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 \u00a02009: \u201cWatchmen\u201d adapted from the comic series by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons (this is also the second R-rated comic book adaption directed by Zack Snyder. The first was \u201c300\u201d). Grossed over $55 million during its opening weekend. Interesting note: executives thought it could\u2019ve made <em>more<\/em> if it weren\u2019t for the film\u2019s almost three-hour running time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 2010: \u201cKick-Ass\u201d based on the comic book by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. Took in almost $20 million during its opening weekend in the United States (it had already earned $12 million internationally). Its sequel did not perform as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 2014: \u201cKingsman: The Secret Service\u201d based on the comic book \u201cThe Secret Service\u201d by Dave Gibbons and Mark Millar. This is the second rated-R adaption directed by Matthew Vaughn (the first was \u201cKick-Ass\u201d).\u00a0 Opened to over $27 million in North America alone.<\/p>\n<p>Sure there have been failures. For every \u201cKingsman,\u201d \u201cKick-Ass\u201d and \u201cWatchmen\u201d there\u2019s a \u201cDredd.\u201d Based on a very popular character that appeared in the UK series \u201c2000 AD,\u201d \u201cDredd\u201d was definitely a worthy entry into the club of comic book adaptations. But for some reason it did not find an audience until after its Blu-ray and DVD release. \u00a0Looking at the above list of rated-R titles it would seem that \u201cDredd\u201d is a bit of an anomaly. So, again, why is everyone making such a big deal over \u201cDeadpool\u2019s\u201d success?<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtecenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 725px; height: 400px;\" src=\"\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/default\/files\/uploads\/Stills-Superheroes.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h6 class=\"rtecenter\">&#8220;Kingsman: The Secret Service,&#8221; &#8220;Blade&#8221; and &#8220;Kick-Ass&#8221; were financially successful rated-R comic book adaptations.<\/h6>\n<p>In <a href=\"http:\/\/deadline.com\/2016\/02\/deadpool-zoolander-2-how-to-be-single-valentines-weekend-box-office-1201699895\/\">Deadline<\/a> an industry executive had this to say, \u201c the film has a self-deprecating tone that\u2019s riotous. It\u2019s never been done before. It\u2019s poking fun at Marvel. That label takes itself so seriously, can you imagine them making fun of themselves in a movie? They\u2019d rather stab themselves.\u201d That comment not only encapsulates the short-term memory loss of the Hollywood machine, it betrays an almost blissful ignorance towards that which really resonates with a ticket-paying audience. To such an extent, even \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy\u201d director James Gunn felt compelled to publish this reply on Facebook:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter every movie smashes records people here in Hollywood love to throw out the definitive reasons why the movie was a hit. I saw it happen with \u2018Guardians.\u2019 It \u2018wasn\u2019t afraid to be fun\u2019 or it \u2018was colorful and funny\u2019 etc etc. And next thing I know I hear of a hundred film projects being set up \u2018like Guardians,\u2019 and I start seeing dozens of trailers exactly like the Guardians trailer with a big pop song and a bunch of quips. Ugh.\u201d Gunn continues, \u201c\u2019Deadpool\u2019 was its own thing. <em>That\u2019s<\/em> what people are reacting to. It\u2019s original, it\u2019s damn good, it was made with love by the filmmakers and it wasn\u2019t afraid to take risks.\u201d The bottom line: \u201cDeadpool\u201d was successful because audiences crave originality.<\/p>\n<p>James Gunn should know what he speaks of. Not only was \u201cGuardians\u201d irreverent and very, very funny, but Gunn also directed the 2010 superhero movie \u201cSuper.\u201d Although it was not based on an established comic book property, the film itself is a heavy R. While it opened to disappointing box office numbers, it wound up becoming the must successful VOD release for IFC thus far.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Hollywood is gaga
