I see some expressing joy about Suicide Squad's drop. How is -66% any good? 

 

 

Its not good. But it's not bad considering how good the weekday business was

[baumer]

Ok guys SPOILEE'S PLEASE.

People who have not seen sausage party don't need to know anything about anything. So don't mention anything about what has happened during the film. Anyone who has done so can you please go back and edit your posts? I'm on my phone right now and I cannot do it plus I am working.

@Nova You were right about the weekend.Saw SP today I give it 7/10.

 

[Water Bottle]

So today:

 

Pete's Dragon first or Sausage Party?

 

(Kinda disappointed with Pete's Dragon opening but eh, at least it only had a $65 million budget.)

SS will win the weekend of course with a very respectable 66% drop but yes I felt the SP craziness in my bones. Glad you liked it somewhat lol 

[filmnerdjamie]

66% is not a respectable drop.

Its had strong weekdays. 66% is respectable given the weekdays that it had.

Coin Flip?

Edit: Just go Pete's then Sausage, since the latter will probably have a bigger crowd at that time, and comedies are always great when there's a big crowd.

Strong weekdays because school is still out in many regions.

 

That doesn't make this drop remotely OK. It's terrible.

Of course. That means the demand for the film was eaten up during the week and thus will have a harsher weekend drop. 

[Brainiac5]

@filmnerdjamie 66% is decent giving its RT scores and the so called toxic wom.

I for one think it will be closer to a 62-63%.

I'm thinking SS will have a lil Better Saturday then expected.

As long as the flim crcrosses 300dom thats what really matters.

The Suicide Squad soundtrack debuted at #1 on the Top 200 with over 180k SPS. 

 

It also looks to stay #1 this week.

Deadpool - 57%

Civil War - 59% 

Apocalypse - 65%

Suicide Squad - 66%

Batman vs. Superman - 69%

Fox News is already talking about Sausage Party  

 

They probably think it's a movie about their chairman who was forced out due to multiple claims of workplace sexual harassment.  

 

"Sausage Party: The life and times of Roger Ailes."

[CJohn]

I fully believe SS will be number 1 until Labor Day weekend.

My mom is watching BvS: Ultimate Cut. Am I a bad son for letting it happen?

That doesn't mean it's good. Furthermore, Suicide Squad is closer to the worst than the best.

@CJohn Yeah it definitely can be.

SS is closer to Apocalypse. Very mixed WOM. BvS is mixed-to-toxic WOM. The other two are in the good WOM region.

[Chaz]

12% separates the best from the worst. That's a pretty close range.

 

Deadpool and Civil War were also released outside of summer.
