BTW, DC Entertainment released this today.DC Entertainment Planning 8-Hour Livestream Event in September
The 4chan rumor said DCE will release casting/directing news in early September. George Miller on New Gods, Sam Raimi on SHAZAM, Alfonso Cauron on Green Lantern Corps, release date for Ben Affleck's solo Batman movie, and so on. Probably won't happen, but I can dream.
I think they should get on with Shazam

I don't care if reviewers or the general audience liked it or not.
I thought it was mediocre and had tons of flaws. So in this case I agree with the reviewers.
I would have seen it anyhow. Regardless of what reviewers or the GA think.
Same here. I was going to go see it regardless of how good or bad I had heard it was. There has only been 2 comic book movies my family and I skipped seeing at the theaters and those were Green Lantern and the latest FF4 and thank goodness we did.

If it doesn't make $300mill domestic then it's way less impressive than GOTG IMO, which crawled upto 330mill (same as BvS) but with only a 95mill OW. That film had damn good legs!Plus without China it's obviously not getting close to the WW total of either GOTG or Deadpool.
The consensus is that Suicide squad will land somewhere around 305 domestic and 410 overeas. That's a little over 700 worldwide without China. That's GOTG plus numbers right there. Huge slam dunk for SS. 🙂

Will see. Still a bit early to call it IMO.
I mean that's another 40mill+ domestic and 100mill+International. It will have to have legs.
Oh and btw, even those numbers wouldn't give this better legs than CW, which performed with a massively larger opening.

It's only three weeks in and it's having good holds from day to day. It will get to 300 easily.
And it doesn't need 100 plus million to get to 400. It's already at 310 M OS and it's having better holds than GOTG or Civil War, so yes, it has better legs.

Nah. Box office multiplier from OW to total domestic numbers would be same as CW if it gets to like 305mill domestic. Except CW did it on a much bigger scale which is obviously much harder.
And GOTG has like almost a 4* multiplier. Doesn't compare. Even if you look at daily figures, GOTG stopped dropping for a few weekends and even increased one weekend. No way SS makes it to 330mill domestic.
GOTG just had freaky legs. Can't compare SS's legs to that.

CW's multiplier was something like 2.9 and SS is 3.0 from what I saw on BO forums. SS is having a better multiplier.
Not hard math, guys:
GOTG was released in China. SS wasn't. GOTG made 95 million in China.
GOTG made 773 million worldwide. Without China's numbers ( - 95 million ), GOTG would have made 678 million worldwide. So, let's see if SS makes 678 million worldwide.
I guess the best analogy would be Deadpool, that didn't get a China release. Comparing SS numbers to GOTG numbers, isn't fair.
Yes, SS is performing better than GotG and Deadpool overseas. It won't reach their tally due to China, but if you take China away it is slightly ahead of both films.
Another poster did the multiplier in another thread.
DOM Total after 3 weekends as a % of OW [and the final multiplier]DEADPOOL 285.254/132.435 215% [2.74x]
APOCALYPSE 136.289/65.770 207% [2.36x]
SUICIDE SQUAD 262.429/133.682 196% [?]
CIVIL WAR 347.216/179.139 194% [2.28x]
DAWN OF JUSTICE 296.614/166.007 179% [1.99x]
SUICIDE SQUAD marginally ahead of CW. 2.3x (307.5 dom) likely considering all the other % and multipliers are in the same order.
And the third weekend drop comparison for CW/X-Men Apocalypse.
-52% drop is okayBvS dropped 54.5%
Civil War dropped 54.7%
Apocalypse dropped 56.6%
Deadpool at 44.9% was outstanding.

That must be worldwide, which is very difficult to compare.
Domestic is better for comparison sake. Then you don't have to worry about the China disadvantage.

Huh? Deadpool didn't have China either. And still had the same gross as GOTG Lol
Also wait and see if it makes 675mill+
Also GOTG had a much smaller opening. It's "legs" were wayyy better than Suicide Squad's.

It's getting there, dude. It's having a great run OS and will cross 300. If it does a bit over 400 OS, that's a better run than GOTG. Deal with it. 😎

Again Big IF.
Depends how you define better run. It won't gross as much worldwide because of China. And won't gross as much domestic regardless. And it's clearly not got the Legs GOTG had.
And I'm glad you've conceded there's no comparison to Deadpool.

It's doing better business around the world vs GOTG. Numbers don't lie and it only needs to gross 90 million to get to 400. If it had China, it would have grossed more, obviously.
If it gets to 400, DP didn't make waay more like you said.

Multipliers don't lie either dude. Multipliers are numbers.

It would be about the same internationally. But domestic & worldwide DP would still be like 70-80million more.
