Deadpool producer Simon Kinberg recalled that Fox studio executives were hands-off during production, because his movie was relatively inexpensive at under $60 million. “They didn’t interfere, because it wasn’t a big movie,” he added.
Deadpool is the biggest grosser of all 10 nominees for the PGA Best Picture Award, with more than $700 million in worldwide box office.
Kinberg recalled that the first movie that he saw in a theater was “The Empire Strikes Back” in 1980, Los Angeles: “My dad took me on a Saturday and I didn’t want to leave the theater when it was over. I think I saw it 15 times that weekend.
