Not everyone thinks it's a mess. Lots of us liked it a lot.

 

I actually like both films.  This one more than BvS though

Gosh I cant wait for @Rth and his 70m estimate. You people are something else. 60m???

It's utterly ridiculous how many people want this to fail.

 

70 is very high. 60 is more logical. 62 is my guess. I juxtaposed it against four other CB movies and a 3x for OD from previews is common. So 70 would be against the norm. 62-65 us realistic.

[BadAtGender]

20m seems really good. GotG had about 10m, right?

20.5 is huge. Is a 130 mill OW pretty much locked? i'm not good at projections

Harley Quinn Rebirth is projected at 400k in comic sales this week ... higher than Batman Rebirth. She is massive ... 2nd biggest comic book property for DC comics.

 

I didn't know that but I'm not surprised. She's my favorite female character too.

She reminds me of the Burtons Catwoman (who is the only version of CW that I like).

The general audience dont look into it that deeply. If a film looks fun people will see it and the marketing for SS was brilliant

Depends on how it performs. Unless it drops like a rock, 130M is locked but you just never know.

It's not locked but very likely.

 

20.5

62 OD

40 Saturday 

32 Sunday and that's a 25% drop

134 looks like a good number

[Subzero]

Im glad this is doing well so far... 20.5 mil is an awesome start.

Not sure what critics saw, although I can see why they had issues with this movie but come on 27% RT that's jsut rediculous.

Overall I liked it, although it have similiar issues like BvS where the editing is all over the place ... but an enjoyable movie  7.5/10.

Down to 26% on RT with Avg at 4,7, BvS had avg at 4,9.

120 is locked based on BVS preview to opening weekend ratio. 130 is also very likely but not ready to call it a lock yet.

Wtf do critics have to do with people who pay to see it? Are you saying that everyone on here who saus they liked it are lying?

BvS Ultimate > Suicide Squad > BvS theatrical, imo.

 

I'm curious if they'll do an SS Ultimate or two.

It's utterly ridiculous how many people want this to fail.

 

Or how many people are throwing a bit of reality on it given the 6pm release, the potential T-Mobile fudge built in, the terrible reviews, etc....

 

The vast majority of people don't want this to fail and were hoping it would be a great movie.  There is no conspiracy.

I just saw a comment here predicting 125m for OW. LOL WUT? This is a not a sequel. It should hold better than BvS/CW for the weekend.

 

It will be closer to 125m than you think, you clearly don't understand how frontloaded this could be.

Really? Damn. It was just at 27% when I looked a couple hours ago. I wonder where this will stabilize.

[RamblinRed]

20.5 is a excellent start. did BvS start previews at 6 like this did?

Feels like 61-65 Friday and a 135-140 OW. 

Still don't think the multiplier is going to be overly strong. Very few people say they love it. Even those who like it are giving it more of its good not great. (There are exceptions of course)

I'm a numbers guy, not a qualitative people 'seem' to like or dislike. I'd rather count on hard numbers.

 

IMDB is at 7.4 - that is good, not great and those tend to go down as more people see a movie.

Even on the spoilers thread here i'd call the reaction mixed.

I'm thinking a 2.2-2.3X multiplier. It'll be better than BvS, but not near films that are better reviewed and better liked based on objective numbers.

 

It's likely headed for 300 +- 25 imo. I think it comes in under SLoP, but we'll see.

Hes having a borderline meltdown over SS, it's weird.

How famous Harley Quinn is in the grand scheme of things ?

 

She is the most famous female DC character not called Wonder WOman ?

 

It s difficult to gauge to me.

 

I know the video games increased her popularity.

People keep comparing this to BvS but now I'm thinking the Green Lantern comparison is more applicable.
