The product name Roomba suddenly makes a lot more sense to me.

Up until now I always thought of the dance's name as Rum-ba, as in sounds like the alcohol.

Maybe a lack of faith by the studio? They didn't want to make it originally.

Yeah, Fox has no idea about the popularity of Deadpool.

I have a Deadpool shirt, and every time I wear it, someone says how they like Deadpool. Sometimes it gets annoying.

That was exactly it. Ryan Reynolds has been trying to make a Deadpool move for something like 11 years. That's since 2005. I think I read somewhere the budget was only $50mil. Thats absurd compared to other superhero movies. It's also why the studio wanted "lesser" X-men in the film. However the marketing team killed it and Deadpool has become a living meme at this point, anyone who spends a moderate amount of time online has seen him and his constantly pop-culture referential and self-aware style of humor fits in well with the internet age. The studio simply saw that it's not a traditional hero or action movie and assumed it would fail.
