F*ck yeah, +1 for Marvel.Knew you were Team Marvel, just acting as a spy in Golgo's squad.
I think Marvel and DC fanboys have some issue accepting I might actually like both companies..
That said I've never once said DC is on par with Marvel on the big screen. That would be a stupid thing to say.

Oh I've been a part of enough Thor vs Superman debates in the past. That's the extent of my fun rivalry (sometimes getting pretty wound up over it),

I was a huge X-Men fan back in the day. I even moderated the X-Fan boards in the early 00's. I was so obsessed that I thought this lineup could take the JLA's big 7:
Xavier>>Superman
Rogue>>Wonder Woman
Psylocke>>Aquaman
Wolverine>>Batman
Sunfire>>Martian Manhunter
Storm>>Flash
Magneto>>Green Lantern
What do you think?

Per Deadline, which they saw last week.
David Ayer’s Suicide Squad has a lot of the irreverence and fun you saw in Deadpool and didn’t see in Batman V Superman, and it should be a monster hit for Warner Bros
Speaking of marketing, Suicide Squad is OBLITERATING every comic book movie thus far. How well that translates to box office is anyone's guess, but 100 M should be locked.
Suicide Squad led all films on Facebook this past week with 128,846 new likes, more than double the nearest competitor. That brings the film within 40,000 likes of 3 million prior to its release which is more than any recent comic book adaptation including Guardians Of The Galaxy which had 823,167 likes on the day before its release. Awareness and buzz has been very strong for much of 2016 for the film, so much so that a successful opening is now a foregone conclusion, its just a matter of pegging how big it will be and if it can surpass the impressive start of the aforementioned Guardians Of The Galaxy. So far the odds seem to be in its favor for a 9 digit opening weekend, and we at Box Office Pro are currently predicting an August record $119 million over its first three days.

Lol, that is telling. By the time of it's release it will be x4.5 stronger that Guardians was on it's opening on FB. Also:By comparison The Avengers which had 51,744 tweets and 1,365,187 likes its Tuesday before release, Green Lantern with 2,909 tweets and 233,977 likes, Thor with 7,675 tweets and 356,954 likes and Captain America: The First Avenger with 4,909 tweets and 673,322 likes.

Also, Guardians registered 29k tweets day before release and about 55k on Thursday, day of release, it's max. By comparison, Suicide Squad registered 53K tweets yesterday alone and it's been going like this for months.
Granted, social media is continuously growing, but this is just obliterating every movie you would compare it to. For comparison, by day of release on Facebook it will be 2.6x stronger than The Avengers, 15x stronger than Green Lantern, 10x stronger than Thor and 5.2x stronger than Captain America.
150m is more than locked. Anyone doubting that is out of their mind.
Also, Umberto tweeted this:
Wow. Today's updated tracking showing SUICIDE SQUAD FC numbers jumping up 5 points since Thursday.
That would be 19 FC, which is close to Age of Ultron.
