Suicide Squad

Katana is pretty hot, too.

Umberto breaks down the numbers. SS could still under perform, because a lot of the movies this year have done that, so it's kinda tricky. 100 million OW is in the bag, it seems.

That tracking number tho!

Box Office: 'Suicide Squad' Tracking for Enormous $125M-Plus U.S. Debut

Where are all the people who said there was no hype/buzz? This keeps on getting better and better. :lo:

‘Suicide Squad’ Gunning For August & Will Smith Opening Records – Box Office

[i]Warner Bros. Suicide Squad hit the tracking boards today with opening weekend projections ranging from $125M to $140M. Even if the film grosses north of $95M it will still be a record opening for the month of August, beating Disney/Marvel’s The Guardians of the Galaxy which woke up the final sleepy summer month two years ago with a three-day of $94.3M.

“It’s huge across all quadrants,” exclaimed a non-Warner Bros. executive this morning about Suicide Squad, “demographically it looks like Deadpool.” That film, though a satirical R-rated title, opened to $132.4M. Suicide Squad we understand has a very different tone. Suicide Squad is strongest among males in first choice with an overall definite interest of 57% (which is big for that category).[/quote]

Projections are impressive tbh.

But Laugh when it makes that OW Golgo. You're cheering about it far too early.

I know. It could very well under perform. And the only way it does that (IMO) is if WB screws up marketing in the last 3 weeks.

Comic-Con is coming up soon and the hype will continue to rise.

Still, even if it scores 80 million OW, that is STILL a good number. Boring, but good.

If it hits 125, that AUTOMATICALLY puts it in the 800 WW range. It all depends on the legs, of course.

^ If it's an Awesome movie, then people will be praising DC movies again (more important for WB than getting big box office).

Yeah, both are important.

^ For DC movies right now I'd say Reception is wayyyy more important than box office. BvS and MOS already made Bank. Now they need some Love.

The first Hunger Games had a $150mill OW but never grossed even $700mill. And like you said, box office legs haven't been too impressive this year.

Golgo not obsessing over the quality of the film just the box office.

This films being good would be a big win.

Hunger Games does not equal Suicide Squad. SS has Will Smith who is still big overseas and HG didn't do that great OS. On top of that, if SS hits 400 million (like Hunger Games) then that would be a HUGE win.

^ I'll count the win according to how good it is. Not according to its box office.

Of course, but we were just talking numbers earlier. I just addressed it.

Hopefully this is genuinely good and not have any WB hijinks like last minute review embargo's, paid reviewers, etc.

agreed

I won't be all that surprised if this is way better than Bats V Supes

The last trailer had me pumped tbh. The music is in my head.

It's still 3 weeks away, so who knows what the final OW numbers will be. But it's good it seems to be getting wide recognition and excitement. I told you I was pretty surprised my girl cousin and her best friend were both excited to see this.

Not too surprising. The NRG number for ages 17-34 is 20%. That's huge. All my co workers and friends are talking about this, too. A few of them skipped BVS, so I'm guessing this might make even more money than that.

Some dude on a podcast said he wouldn't be surprised if this did more than BVS and it seems to be looking that way if this has a stronger multiplier.

Literally no one I know irl is talking about this movie.

I'm probably the only one.
