Plus Sales of it when it comes to blu-ray and dvd and other merchandising will give fox more money.

Uhmmmm, no. Just no. The R-Rating alone guarantees it's not likely to do as well as the next Wolverine or X-Men: Apocalypse. Deadpool is popular with geeks, but geeks don't make up that much of the overall moviegoing audience.

Anyway, we might get X-Men legends of some sort next year, but from what I'm hearing from other quarters, Disney/Marvel really IS putting the complete kibosh on any merchandise licensing for X-Men and Fantastic Four. So maybe not. Basically Disney is refusing to give free advertising for Fox's movies.
