RIP my Casino

Just goes to show you after the great Friday number, if the executives at WB cared about making better DCCU films, they'd make a shit ton more money on these films.

Suicide Squad could potentially be 5th on August 19

mid 30s would be 46% drop. Terrible, but not surprising. 

 

'Twas never good enough to beat Deadpool.

I need SS to go under Deadpool because of some Casino bets. Please please don't go up!

[Ohana]

All of your parking lots pics are fakes! It's night time and It's full!

 If this only makes $700 million WW with bad buzz would they even risk a sequel that can potentially drop 30-40% ?

$700M WW?? It's dropping in a lot of countries as I've already pointed out earlier. And if what RTH said is true....good lord.

The problem is you have to go through each one and determine how much is "True Friday" minus previews and if Friday or Saturday was a particular holiday.  For instance movies always drop huge on Christmas

MY CASINO BETS LIVE!

So great marketing is enough to give you a great opening day, but if the movie is shit, word travels very fast nowadays.

[John Marston]

a Suicide Squad probably would be a bad idea. Just put Deadshot, Joker and Quinn in some of the Batfleck films

Well, not if the huge drops start during its first weekend.

But hey, who knows, these are new frontiers. 

That's not really how it works; films that have abnormally large drops on their second day tend to keep collapsing and drop off big weekend to weekend as well. See the Twilight films, Harry Potter 7.2, Friday The 13th, The Purge, Fifty Shades (post-Valentine's Day), Fault in Our Stars, etc.

[The Panda]

Lol, this is going to have BvS legs after all.

Without spoiling anything in the movie, the most amazing part is that the marketing has been selling a movie that doesn't even exist! Movies have misleading advertising all the time but this is taking it to the next level. If I didn't know it was a troubled production from reports, I would've definitely guessed it from everything else.

 

The trailers don't even mention or show enchantress, and now suddenly she's being featured in the commercials. Lol!

[MrPink]

I need SS to do exactly 132-132.9 million.

 

I understand that's specific but it needs to be this number for....reasons. 

[YM!]

On the bright side, we may have our first $200-299M film of 2016.
