Deadpool & Wolverine Defies Expectations
The Straits Times
|December 29, 2024
In the cinema business, the rule of thumb is: The lower the classification, the better the box office.
It makes sense, as families with children make up a significant portion of cinemagoers.
The rule is backed by numbers. In the Marvel-dominated list of the top 10 highest-grossing films in Singapore, no film has a rating higher than PG13, which allows entry to children under 13, with parental guidance.
In July, a rule-breaker came along in the form of a mouthy Marvel superhero - partnered with a far surlier frenemy.
The violent and expletive-laden Deadpool & Wolverine became the first film of 2024 to cross the $7 million mark at the local box office. With its final take of just over $7 million, it is the highest-grossing M18-rated film of all time in Singapore.
