Ryan Reynolds' storytelling abilities aren't just a quirky element of his public persona — they're the bedrock foundation of his success across multiple industries, he says. The movie's budget didn't leave much room for marketing, so Reynolds shouldered some of the load himself, filming and posting comedic advertisements on social media. Multiple of Reynolds' posts went viral, and "Deadpool" grossed $782.6 million in box office sales against a $58 million budget, according to IMDB-owned Box Office Mojo. Mint Mobile's parent company, Ka'ena Corporation, was similarly purchased for up to $1.35 billion by T-Mobile last year. "Reynolds will continue in his creative role on behalf of Mint," T-Mobile said at the time.
