In America, the film took in $20.5 million from Thursday night screenings, nearly doubling the previous August record of $11.2 million, set by Guardians Of The Galaxy in 2014. So we can say atleast movie was able to break atleast one record so far. There was all this hate that avid fans have channeled against Rotten Tomatoes for the negative reviews of Suicide Squad. In the “Squad” played Will Smith and Cara Delevingne. DC Comics, though, has yet to apply that formula to any of its recent films, and “Suicide Squad” might be the biggest offender.

It sounds like Ayer believes the theatrical version of the film to be the best version of Suicide Squad, something that wasn’t the case with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Now, “Suicide Squad” has already taken its place.
Guardians used that strong Thursday as a launching pad for a $94.3 million opening weekend, but the current estimates show Squad surpassing that for an opening weekend figure of somewhere between $125 and $145 million. “Clearly, there’s disconnect between audiences and critics”. In that regard, the jury remains out on “Suicide Squad”. With only Sausage Party, Florence Foster Jenkins and Pete’s Dragon opening nationwide next weekend, “they’re going to have a pretty wide-open playing field into Labor Day, which will be the official end to a very volatile, unpredictable summer movie season”. Next up is Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman” in June. “You can put money in the bank”, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore. “For any movie, that’s the most important aspect”.
Suicide Squad Review: Many fans, like film director & comic book aficionado Kevin Smith love the movie.
However, it appears that the movie’s unimpressive critical showing hasn’t ruined its weekend box office just yet.
Matt Damon’s fourth outing as the forgetful superspy continues in “Jason Bourne”, which brought in more than $22 million in its second week. It isn’t the best super hero/villain movie ever made but it does provide two hours of entertainment.
