While full reviews won’t arrive online until later today, early reactions were quite positive for Suicide Squad.
Box Office Mojo reports that Warner Bros. is releasing Suicide Squad in approximately 4,150 theaters, with The Weinstein Company’s Nine Lives also opening in wide release although there is no theater count estimation quite yet.
Originally, there was supposed to be another high-profile movie opening this weekend, The Weinstein Company’s The Founder, starring Michael Keaton as McDonald’s founder Ray A. Kroc.
If it does hit this projection, Suicide Squad will have the third-highest opening weekend this year, below Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War ($179.1 million) and Warner Bros./DC’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($166 million).
