There is an argument to be made that the opening ceremony tonight depressed then numbers if only a little there there could be a better Saturday number than most of you are expecting
Even Harley Quinn isn't that well known, deadshot, El diablo, Enchantress these are relatively minor charecters it isn't Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Spider man level but it will pull off an opening highere than most of them that's the marketing. Again if you these numbers a year ago no one would agree with you the marketing has been amazing
for comic readers and yes she's big but to the GA while they might have heard of her they won't rush to see her, the marketing made this movie big not the charecters a year ago if you said above 80 on this site you would have been laughed off
plus 20.5 in the US
