In fact, worldwide it’s already made over $85 million, which is allegedly already more than its initial budget (more on how box office works later).
So, I’d just like to take a second to point out some of the headlines you may have been reading can’t have told the whole story yet.
It’s fair to say Birds of Prey’s box office during Week 1 was disappointing, but what’s not fair is anyone operating on the assumption that Cathy Yan’s R-rated Harley Quinn movie is a total disaster at this point.
