It's a bit of an unknown tbh.
I mean on one hand you would think it could potentially reach Deadpool levels (given Deadpool had no China), but then for that it would have to completely destroy X-Men, and beat all other X-Men films to date. It would also have to beat Winter Soldier for that.
Which all seems pretty unlikely.

Why do you think it's unlikely? SS is easily one of the most talked about films in the past several months and easily one of the biggest tracking movies on Google trends. Actually higher than BVS, IIRC.

True that.

The most popular Halloween costume this year - according to Google Trends - is Harley Quinn, who will be seen in 2016's "Suicide Squad." The on-and-off girlfriend of the Joker has been on the scene since 1992, first appearing on "Batman: The Animated Series."
I actually saw two women dressed up as Harley during the BVS premier at my local theater.

Like has already been mentioned, Deadpool had one of the greatest marketing campaigns of all time.
Now I'm not saying SS can't match Deadpool's worldwide gross. But for an unknown property to do that is certainly not something that can be predicted with confidence.

Of course not, but tons of people have shown their interest in the movie on social media.
Which social media sites? Got numbers so we can gauge?
According to this article: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/suicide_squad/suicide-squad-is-officially-the-most-talked-about-upcoming-movie-a142156
Civil War: 10 million tweets
XMen-Apocalypse: 1.8 million tweets
Suicide Squad: 1 million tweets
How is this movie making more than BvS and Guardians of the Galaxy when it's less talked about than X-Men Apocalypse?

Don't forget youtube views which crush BVS, X-Men, and Deadpool. Not to mention CW first 2, I believe.

Marketing is only one aspect in measuring box office.

^ Still not a good sign about the tweets where it seems to be way behind Apocalypse.Also you specifically mentioned social media so Whitewitchking's point to you is valid.
I was counting Youtube/Facebook views, too, since people post their thoughts on the movie on those sites.
Point is, marketing is only one aspect. BVS had insane marketing, too, but horrible legs.

Social media means nothing golgo... didn't you learn this during the Bats v Supes fiasco???? didn't social media claim that bats v supes was all this and that , of course the truth was known after people started seeing the film...

Well according to RT 66% of audiences still liked it.So if we take 66% of BvS's gross then that's still a potential 575million SS could make.
you know I have never been one to believe what RT says..... besides Suicide Squad may have to make more than that..
do you know how much WB spent on Suicide Squad?

I have and there is no need... You said the same stuff regarding Bats V Supes about how social media was saying how it was the greatest thing since white bread lmao..... nobody cares what social media says after people started seeing the film, the truth became known... so again it doesn't even matter what they are saying about Suicide Squad..

Yet, I didn't say it was the only indicator for box office or quality. Try again.
