Deadpool 2, which doesn't open until May 18, is already scoring high marks.
The Fox film received as high as 98 in recent test screenings, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Deadpool 2, which stars Ryan Reynolds, has been tested three times, with the scores for the first two screenings coming in at 91 and 97. The final test, which occurred in Dallas, tested two separate cuts simultaneously, which scored a 98 and a 94. The 98-scoring cut is the version the team is using, a source with direct knowledge told THR .
The crew attended the final screenings in Dallas, and a source in the audience of that 98 screening describing the environment to THR as being electric and akin to watching the Super Bowl. It's worth noting the highest test screening the original Deadpool received was a 91, according to insiders. The film went on to gross $783 million worldwide and stands as the highest-grossing X-Men movie of all time.

when a movie tests over 90(91 and 97) on test screenings it means that the pacing worked for the people who watched it. when you add more screentime for two(not one but two) characters you obviously changed the edit of the movie,the pacing,the flow. which is very important with a movie like this. why would a studio that tested their sequel over 90 spend more money and risk destroying the pacing?
just asking.

Ding ding ding ding ding.
The article states that the movie scored a 91. After the movie scored a 91, they did the reshoots to add more Cable and Domino. They then screened the version of the movie with Cable and Domino and it scored a 97. They then went to Dallas and screened two cuts of the movie with one scoring a 98 and the other scoring a 94. I am willing to bet the one that scored 94 was the original cut that score 91. And the 98 was the one that scored 97 in LA.
So they didn't add more screen time for anyone after the movie scored a 97. It was after the movie scored the 91. Which yea is a pretty good score but it's not a score that would guarantee a sure fire hit especially if you have the time to make it better, which at the time they did.
*And for what it's worth there are people on Letterboxd from the Dallas area who watched the film and have rated it a 4 and 4.5 stars out of 5.
They made a good movie...better.
Crazy how only 1 person is the source for all this negativity. The scores were high in the first place.
The person who saw it, or the person who knows someone who saw it?
...and I agree. Happenes with the majority of films.
Serious question. Why do you want this film to fail so badly? Like what do you get out of it?
Actually don't answer that. I have figured it out. You're either a). The person who told Jeremy Conrad the movie is bad or b). you heard from someone who said it was bad and passed along that info to him.
Which probably explains why both of you came running to BOT and created new accounts to try and "calm" everyone down.
But now you're bitter because Fox is saying the opposite of what you've either reported or heard.
