Win tickets to see the hugely successful Deadpool in cinemas

Stand a chance to win tickets to see the world's latest hit movie.

Deadpool, the latest superhero blockbuster from Marvel Studios, reached the number one spot at the South African box office this past week. The film is now showing at Nu Metro Woodlands and Menlyn in Pretoria. Moviegoers can also experience it on Scene Xtreme’s larger-than-life screen with superior sound at Nu Metro Menlyn.

It had the third biggest box office opening for a superhero-movie in South Africa, with an opening weekend figure of R9.3million – following closely behind the success of Iron Man 3 and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Over 150 000 moviegoers went to see the film first over the Valentine’s Day-weekend.

“The response has been overwhelmingly positive,” commented Twentieth Century Fox local representative, Michelle Steytler.

“This success has resonated globally with a US opening weekend of $132.7m – not only the biggest all-time opening weekend for Fox in the US, but also in South Africa. We are truly thrilled that consumers chose to spend Valentine’s with our superhero last weekend!”

Based on Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, Deadpool tells the original story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool.

Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humour, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.

This highly anticipated superhero film stars Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, Ed Skrein, T.J. Miller, Gina Carano and Brianna Hildebrand who have been touring the world promoting it.

Book early on the Nu Metro website or call 0861 246 362 to reserve your seats.

Please note Deadpool carries an age restriction of 16 due to scenes containing violence, bad language and sexual content.
