The reported production budget for Suicide Squad is $175 million alone, and studios need the movie to double that initial budget with them splitting the profit with theaters.
This has so far made Suicide Squad one of the more polarizing movies of the summer, but also 2016 as a whole.
Unless the actual production budget is exceedingly more than reported, the box office numbers for Suicide Squad surely made them money.
If some recent numbers are correct however, it will instead turn in one of the biggest profits of the summer.
