That's right: this relatively small, $58 million dollar, R-rated action-comedy featuring a previously little-known character made more money than ''Film/CaptainAmericaCivilWar'' (AKA: [[FanNickname Avengers 2.5]]), ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'', and ''Film/JusticeLeague2017''... '''combined.'''[[note]]$255 million for Civil War + $126 million for Batman v Superman [[BoxOfficeBomb - $50 million]] for Justice League = $331 million, against Deadpool's net profit of $360 million.[[/note]]
* The fact that the movie was even made at all, seeing the huge fan reaction that burst from the release of the test footage.
** Not to mention that this movie retained its R rating despite numerous attempts at ExecutiveMeddling, budget cuts, and the fact that this film was made in '''10 months'''.
** The biggest "fuck you" to Tom Rothman[[note]]the producer infamously known for his ExecutiveMeddling on films such as ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' and ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' -- especially given what Deadpool became in that last one[[/note]]:
-->'''Deadpool:''' Crime's the disease, meet the cure. Okay, not the cure, but more like a topical ointment to reduce the swelling and itch. [[TakeThat Hi, Tom!]]
* One for Creator/RyanReynolds: [[http://media.comicbook.com/2015/11/deadpool-halloween-157609.jpg taking a bunch of kids dressed as the X-Men trick-or-treating while dressed in a Deadpool costume he swiped from the set.]]
** You read that right: he ''stole'' his Deadpool suit. After filming wrapped up, he simply walked off set in full costume and when a costume assistant asked if he wanted to change first, he simply said, "Try and take it from me."
* The film getting [[http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/deadpool/ Certified Fresh]] at 84% by Website/RottenTomatoes. [[SavedFromDevelopmentHell Given how much it took to get this movie together,]] which had been a [[DoingItForTheArt passion project of Reynolds for years]], and which looked dead after the flop of ''Film/GreenLantern2011'', seeing the Merc with a Mouth's big screen debut getting this much critical praise out of the gate is nothing short of astounding.
** The speed with which the studio has greenlit a sequel plants another set of feathers firmly in the respective caps of the team that put this film together. If TheStinger is to be taken seriously,[[note]]Remember, this is [[{{Troll}} Deadpool,]] so he could just be fucking with us[[/note]] then the sequel will feature ''Cable!''
*** And it did.
* The movie's opening weekend set records for February releases and had the best opening for an R-rated movie over ''Film/TheMatrixReloaded''.
** The film also beat the ever-loving shit out of the previous Valentine's Day Weekend record holder: ''Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey''. There's nothing especially erotic or romantic about it -- except for the gratuitous sex scenes and violence (if you're into that sort of thing).
** [[http://collider.com/deadpool-box-office-records-highest-grossing-r-rated-movie/ On March 28, 2016,]] it became the highest grossing R-rated film of all time.[[note]]Although, it was then overtaken by ''Film/Joker2019''.[[/note]]
** ''Deadpool'' is now the highest grossing film in the entire ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' domestically ''and'' worldwide. What makes this even more impressive is that ''Deadpool'' was the lowest budgeted film in the series and was the only one that was R-rated. The film had a production budget of just $58 million, but took $363 million in the [=USA=] and another $420 million overseas for a total gross of $783 million, over thirteen times its budget!
** To reiterate, the movie went through an infamous DevelopmentHell, was about a character that few corporate executives had much faith in (and doesn't enjoy the extreme comic-book popularity of characters like Spider-Man or Wolverine, instead having more of a cult following), came out in a [[DumpMonths graveyard]] month like February, and got saddled with the dreaded R rating, which is rarely as profitable as PG-13. Yet despite seemingly having so many cards stacked against it, it immediately eclipsed its budget and went on to smash record after record without pause. Wham! [[CallBack It earned the exclamation mark]].
** And two years later, which film finally beat this one's huge records? '''Film/Deadpool2'''.
* When a film is successful as this, most stars would rest on their laurels, but not Ryan Reynolds. He's reportedly already working on the sequel, and in the meantime is ''still'' taking every chance he gets to put on the suit and deliver delicious Deadpool goodness to the fans.
* Due to the way the rights to Marvel movies are set, members of HYDRA cannot legally appear in an ''X-Men'' movie such as this one. Yet, they still managed to get Bob, Agent of HYDRA to appear.
* Creator/RyanReynolds himself [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qIRtFE6aIc crashes the]] ''WebVideo/{{Honest Trailer|s}}'' for the flick!
* With the insanely visceral FandomRivalry between the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse, and various unaligned comic book properties, it's pretty darn impressive how this is the one movie that ''every'' side generally likes, and of course serves as the major hole (besides plain old common sense) in the conspiracy theory of critics being bribed to promote the MCU above all other properties.
* Ryan Reynolds wanted the writers to be on set to help with last-minute rewrites. 20th Century Fox refused to authorize paying them for that purpose, [[http://www.slashfilm.com/ryan-reynolds-deadpool-writers/ so Ryan paid them out of his own pocket]].
* Colossus: the character got more lines, importance, and screentime here than in any of the other films of the X-Men movie franchise.
** Some fans actually lament that, finally, a proper, true-to-comics version of Colossus of which the fans and creators can be proud is finally in a movie, and ''it isn't even a "proper" X-Men film!''
* "Deadpool" is nominated for two Golden Globes (Best Actor for Creator/RyanReynolds and Best Picture in the Comedy/Musical Category). This also makes Deadpool the first Marvel character to be nominated for an acting Golden Globe.
* The film has also been nominated for a Writers Guild of America award for Best Adapted Screenplay, making this the second film based on Marvel comics, after ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'', to earn this distinction.
* Patrick Stewart retired from the role of Professor Xavier after ''Film/{{Logan}}'', feeling that the character couldn't possibly have a better sendoff. However, he was also impressed enough with this film to say he'd be up for making an appearance in a sequel.
* This movie rebooted the character of Negasonic Teenage Warhead. For those who aren't big Marvel fans, she was originally a oneshot character with minor precognitive powers who was killed in her first appearance; her only reason for showing up in the movie was because it would be funny to have Deadpool be genuinely awed by her ridiculous codename. But the character found enough love from the viewers that Marvel decided to resurrect and reinstate her comic-self, with an updated appearance and powerset matching her movie-self.
