Sharing the Best Comedy Movie award at the Critics Choice Awards with “A Real Pain”, but unfortunately the Deadpool film was unable to attend the event due to ongoing legal issues between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Nevertheless, the Wade Wilson star took to Instagram to acknowledge their shared victory and express his appreciation for the movie that tied with the Marvel blockbuster. His post read:
Wow, great job Critics Choice! The entire Deadpool crew is ecstatic. However, let’s not forget to extend our warmest congratulations to A Real Pain as well.
The likelihood of Reynolds attending the Critics Choice Awards was quite low, especially since Lively decided not to attend this year’s Super Bowl, despite her close friend Taylor Swift performing there. The win for Deadpool & Wolverine wasn’t diminished by having to share the award with a Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg comedy that quickly became popular on Hulu upon its release. There’s definitely an underdog vibe to this tie, given the vast disparity in their budgets and earnings. However, success often comes down to making the most of what you’ve got.
‘Deadpool & Woverine’ vs ‘A Real Pain’
Deadpool and Wolverine were widely anticipated to “shine” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the summer 2024 box office, and they certainly lived up to expectations. The film maximized its $200 million budget, earning a staggering $1.34 billion at the box office, placing it as the second highest grossing movie of the year – trailing behind Inside Out 2 from Disney – and the 20th highest grossing movie ever made. Although it’s likely to drop down the list in future years with anticipated blockbusters like Avatar: Fire and Ash and Avengers: Doomsday/Secret Wars expected to surpass the $2 billion mark, it still holds a notable position for a film that wasn’t initially planned several years ago.
Instead of “A Real Pain,” we could refer to this as a “Solidly Grounded, Buddy Road Trip Movie.” This film tells the story of two Jewish-American cousins embarking on a journey through Poland in memory of their deceased grandmother, produced with a budget of $3 million – which is just 1.5% of what it cost to make “Deadpool and Wolverine.” At the box office, this movie earned an impressive $18 million, outperforming Marvel’s blockbuster in terms of return on investment when considering the extra marketing costs associated with the “Deadpool and Wolverine” campaign.
From a cinephile’s perspective, the world of reviews feels like a dance between Yin and Yang – a delicate balance of opposing yet interconnected forces. The critically-acclaimed film “A Real Pain” has left critics spellbound with a staggering 96% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while the action-packed duo “Deadpool & Wolverine” only managed to garner 78%. Flipping the coin, the audience’s preference leans towards the Marvel Cinematic Universe film with a whopping 94% approval rating and the heartfelt comedy close behind at 81%. In truth, it was quite the conundrum to pick a winner for the Critics Choice Award, as both films showcased their unique charm and brilliance.
