Suicide Squad

It's not clear how much they spent on marketing, especially since they already made a lot of profit.

#SuicideSquad officially crossed $700M global on SUN night. Final near $750M possible - and that's with $0 out of China.

F#ck China.

This film was below average and anyone applauding this needs their head examined.

Unlike other 2016 blockbusters such as Star Trek Beyond and X-Men Apoc, SS didn't need China to survive.

Hollywood better not start catering to China.

Well SS and Deadpool both proved they don't necessarily have to.

Just a quick question: Why have we started using worldwide box office to label a movie a success? Wasn't it just a few years ago that all we measured movies by was their domestic gross?

Deadpool, the ultra-massive success story that was suppposed to "flop" at the boxoffice.

The same reason Microsoft don't base their notion of success and failure on only Japanese sales of the xbox.

^ They keep the most profit from domestic sales though. That said, whatever profit they keep from international markets, it's still more money for the studio.

It was "supposed to flop" due to no R rating apparently. So clearly the person who thought that doesn't give a turd about what would make the best Quality movie.

It was not a good film. Rewatchability wise for Deadpool is awful. You loved it great I didn't, lemming.

Iirc, that person had a problem with the R rating because it was supposed to hurt ticket sales, didn't matter if an R rating would have done the character/film justice. Some people only care about box office figures, quality "who cares".

Best part, the R rating brought in both dollars and quality/justice to the character.

Todate, Worldwide = $782,612,155, what a "flop". Let the bitterness flow.

I said the film would flop due to quality. It did. People want more Deadpool but I'm not into that sort of thing. I'm into Avengers, Disney marvel characters, Harry Potter, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.
