anyone care to comment

That's pretty decent for a highly fronloaded movie. The average super-hero movie this year has dropped 67%.

What did Civil War get in it's 2nd weekend?

About those 800 M to break even is FALSE. Read and weep.

So, all of the box office numbers so far look great. How does this stack up against the film’s costs? Well, first of all I can tell you that these $800 million “break-even point” claims floating around are false. The film needs to do about $600 million in global ticket sales to cover the shooting budget (including reshoots) plus marketing costs, since the studio will only get about half of the box office receipts to cover the combined costs that total roughly $300 million. Claims in the press of marketing exceeding $150-200 million are gross exaggerations, as are rumors of costly reshoots that pushed the filming budget closer toward the $200 million range.

Excellent article on the BO of Suicide Squad. SS is actually doing extremely well. 👆

Oh, and about the promotional tie ins that I said WB probably got...

Warner’s financial risks on the film are mitigated — as it is for every studio that makes pictures — via financing partners who shared some of the costs, by tie-in promotions and product placement deals, by presales, by tax credits from shooting locations, and by other means typical of these sorts of big-budget Hollywood productions. It’s also true that many costs associated with production and marketing are really associated with internal expenses, where money is paid by one part of the parent company to another part of the company for certain work — such expenses are listed as costs on one spreadsheet and revenue on another, but it’s all ultimately in-house and flows into a series of coffers belonging to the same top organization.

I hope it makes some money. It was an all right film. Standard superhero fare. Had its good and bad like any of them. It's no Civil War, but it wasn't Iron Man 3 either. And it was better than BvS too.

Most predict around 650 WW. That's a good number, especially since it didn't open in China. With China, it would have done 700 plus.

Shame China is so strict with what movies can and can't open there.

I'd rather rewatch this than Iron Man 3 anyday.

IM 3 last half was awful. I'd rather watch SS than AOU, IM 3, BVS, TDKR, Thor, Ant-Man, etc...

Ant-Man has a good rewatch factor imo.

I wonder if Suicide Squad will beat Ant-Man at the boxoffice?
