Suicide Squad is expected to outgross Sausage Party as the weekend progresses, with an expected overall taking of $43 million – a 68% drop from the previous week.
For many DC fans, Suicide Squad was supposed to set Warner Bros’ cinematic universe back on track following the negative critical response to Batman v Superman.
Like how the aforementioned Batman v Superman dropped a disappointing 69% weekend-to-weekend at the North American box office, Suicide Squad is suffering a similar fate.
Unfortunately, the villainous team-up received similar reviews, many criticising the film’s editing while praising Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and Will Smith’s Deadshot.
