Suicide Squad opened to a massive Thursday night number, posting an estimated $20.5 million in preview screenings, according to early numbers shared by Variety.
The hefty Suicide Squad number was also good for a handful of other milestones.
This is a record-shattering figure, and one that bodes very well for the rest of Suicide Squad’s opening weekend.
According to Box Office Mojo, it’s now the 12th largest Thursday, ahead of The Hunger Games.
