It's been weeks tracking high with it being the only super hero movie opening but the movie ended up even opening LOWER than BIRDS OF PREY which was a disappointing result as well at 33M Many are expecting the fan front loading with an expected drop on Saturday and some are wondering if the delta variant is scaring away viewers or if the property is not as strong as once thought despite a strong 100+ million opening for the original Suicide Squad that was much more hated by critics The country is at its highest for theatre reopenings since the pandemic started and the theatre businesses can't be happy with this result and Gunn's reboot only received a B+ cinemascore, the same as David Ayer's rendition It is however playing on HBO Max which may eat into sales but DC movies are still playing catch up to Marvel which Black Widow made 3x the number this movie made in its opening weekend and with a budget of over 200 million it needs to earn a lot to be profitable Do you think this movie bombed? https://i.imgur.com/5gP85JL.png https://i.imgur.com/M0JDZnb.jpg --- The News Will Continue...For Now call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.
