Hope SS can pull off profit, it was decent.
Lol, can't believe people actually watched the conspiracy rich Hillary movie. Actually, I can believe it.

That was a mistake from Sony, because of that they ended up with a huge budget and a terrible marketing campaign.

I have never in my life been with an audience that seemed to clearly dislike a movie. Of course they're going to be buzzing, they've just had their senses dazzled in 4K surround sound for two hours. Even that awful zookeeper movie with Paul Blart got a positive response from my crowd. Hell, I've heard tell of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen getting standing ovations, so I don't think audience reactions are really an accurate barometer of what people thought about the movie in the long run. It's like taking pre-release hype pieces about video games as an indication of the reviews to come.

Box Office Mojo:
"Looking ahead, in all likelihood it seems safe to expect a drop around 67% or more next weekend with a strong possibility Suicide Squad may finish with a multiplier right around 2.22, pushing hard for a $300 million domestic run, perhaps coming up a bit short."
This was after reviews hit, and no one seemed positive after BvS was finished. Same movie theater, and generally the same audience (Subang isn't really a big place). So yeah, I definitely think people enjoyed this more than BvS. Of course, that's only based on my own experience, I can't say the same is true about your location.
I'm feeling safe with my first 200M pic of the year prediction even though I lowballed the opening by quite a long way.
What did he mean by this?

Such a sheltered life. I've seen films get heckled midway through a lot.

Its rare but does happen. I went to the second transformers movie completely blazed so didn't mind the awfulness but by the end my buddy pointed out that around 1/3 of the people had left. It was pretty crazy to see.
A few more, yes.

The WB shills have finally invaded us.

Actuals will be lower.
I wish WB cut me a fucking check, they gave me money I'd be writing 10k reviews on how BvS is the film Kubrick wishes he could have made while sending Slayven Deadpool panels every thirty seconds via PM

How much does Disney pay you to be a Tron shill?

Sony definitely marketed it as some kind of superhero flick. Their entire marketing campaign was a disaster.
Throw in a purple unicorn, an espresso machine and BET.

Lol Nine Lives cost 30mill? I thought it was a direct-to-tv movie when I saw a commercial for it.
judging from that friday to sat drop i highly doubt it

Well, mostly because of summer weekdays. I wouldn't say anything is definite right now since it appears to have dropped a worse % Thurs+Fri to Sat than BvS did. Given the slate of movies for the remainder of August, WB would hope that it does better though.
2.22 multiplier sounds pretty good after BvS.
That would be very good all things considered. It would be close to 300M and a win for WB.

Well deserved, the movie is fun as hell. Will see it again if I have the time.

Suicide Squad hasn't opened in Germany yet. It comes out August 18th and September for Japan.
The idea that a record breaking opening for August is anything short of amazing is incredible to me. I actually saw someone in another thread refer to this as a 'bomb' because it fell under the initial $145m estimate.
There is genuinely no other part of GAF that is so wilfully ignorant and arrogant as film GAF.
The idea that Ghostbusters will finish its run at the international box office with, possibly, less than $100m is nothing short of a catastrophe for Sony.
The exact, final number is almost irrelevant as the record is broken. Mission accomplished. Worry about the second weekend numbers is another thing entirely.

I'm just curious to see how much the actuals differ. The real test starts on Monday moving forward.
Star Trek still has 20 territories to release in over the next month (including China and Mexico on September 2nd). I'm really interested to see how well it does in China and Mexico, as it doesn't really have a lot competition there besides Bourne (at least in Cinemex theaters, in Mexico's case).
