I have a feeling it's going to fall flat on its face.500 is inevitable, 600 isn't guaranteed. Without China that's still pretty good.
Even the pessimistics think it can gross 650. It'll out gross xmen Apocalypse for sure and winter soldier domestically. And that's with bad reviews.

Wow, I guess these characters are pretty big, even with poor reviews. Although, Superman Returns and the later Batman films also had poor reviews, yet managed to financially bomb.
A precipitous drop from last weekend won’t be enough to knock Suicide Squad off its perch at the top of the box office chart, according to studio estimates released on Friday. But a 67% fall is steep, even by modern standards. On the bright side, it is less than Batman v Superman’s 69% decline in its second weekend earlier this year, at least according to the estimates. A weak Sunday would put the two films basically neck-and-neck on that front, and it looks increasingly likely that Suicide Squad will end with less than $300 million domestically.That puts more pressure on the film internationally, where it is doing fairly well, having picked up $242.5 million so far, slightly ahead of its $222.9 million domestic haul. That takes the DC Extended Universe to nearly $2 billion worldwide after three films, which is no slouch. It’s worth remembering that the Marvel Cinematic Universe took five films to pass $2 billion worldwide, albeit several years ago when international markets were smaller. It wasn’t until The Avengers and Iron Man 3 (the sixth and seventh films) that the franchise really hit its stride. The DC Universe still has time.
