He also puts his hand over Harley's mouth when she's by the chemical vat when he tells her "Surrender becomes power". Basically for when lets the clown takeover.

As far the scene as dope as it is it still pisses me off that cut it so much. The scene with Common was much longer and different than how it played out in the movie.

Joker hands Common his gun and tells him to shoot him or Harley. He knows he can't do that so

You got to remember that Waller doesn't care if they die because she can easily replace them

I didn't know what to expect with all of the bad press but the movie was def enjoyable. Yeah the villain was weak, plot seemed a bit light and I wasn't a big fan of Letos Joker, but he movie was def enjoyable. Good action and most of the jokes hit.

Will and Margot did their thing. That Deadshot alley way scene with his daughter was piff.

Box Office: 'Suicide Squad' Tumbles 67% For $43.77M Weekend
maxresdefault-11-1200x675.jpg


Suicide Squad is arguably going to perform about as well as we could have hoped a Task Force X movie to play. Regarding actual grosses, it was indeed a live-action shot-in-the-arm to the summer box office that the theaters needed after a somewhat underwhelming mid-May to late-July period. The fact that Suicide is (possibly) going to get close to Batman v Superman is in itself an accomplishment even if you argue that Harley Quinn was the DC equivalent of Deadpool in terms of “fan favorite characters shiningbrightly on the big screen.”

The David Ayer film earned $43.77 million in its second weekend. That’s a drop of 67.2% from its record-breaking $133.6m debut weekend.That’s better than the 69% drops of Elektra andX-Men Origins: Wolverine,the 69.7% drops of Jonah Hex and Hulk as well as the 70.7% drop of Hellboy II(against the opening weekend of The Dark Knight), and the 78% drop for Steel back in 1997. It’s just below the 68.2% drop for Fantastic Four. But it is below the last three Memorial Day-released X-Men movies (-66.9%, and -64.2%, and -65.3% in 2006, 2014, and 2016).

:ehh:

It’s the biggest “second weekend” in August, just ahead of Guardians of the Galaxy‘s $42.1 million.If you’re wondering why I didn’t include Captain America: Civil War‘s 74% Friday drop when discussing big comic book plunges yesterday, it was because I knew that we weren’t looking at a 74% Friday drop leading to a 59% weekend drop. The Marvel Cinematic Universe movies usually drop 55-60%on the second weekend. Be they released by Paramount/Viacom Inc., Universal, or Walt Disney, are remarkably consistent offerings, except for MCU movies (The Avengers, Iron Man, Thor) that fall closer to 50% on weekend two.

Comparatively for DC Comics, we’ve had Watchmen (-67.7% in weekend two), Jonah Hex (69.7%),Green Lantern (-66.1%), The Dark Knight Rises (-61.4%), Man of Steel (-67.9% using the full $128m opening weekend), Batman v Superman (-69.1%), and now Suicide Squad (-67.2%). That’s a very different kind of consistency, especially if you remove Chris Nolan’s Batman finale from the equation. The DC movies are not playing like the MCU or a general audiences franchise. They are playing like Twilight Saga sequels. As long as they are budgeted with that expectation in mind, with a fan-fueled mega-opener followed by a quick fade, that’s okay.

:manny:

There is a distinct (and enormous) fan base for these pictures, a fan base that fuels massive opening weekends but doesn’t seem to be expanding. Again, part of that is the fact that, all due respect, the films aren’t as good as they should be. Part of that is frankly because they aren’t as big in terms of casual family viewing, which is part of what turns Civil War‘s 74% Friday drop into a 59% weekend drop. But again, with opening weekends well over $100 million each time out thus far and domestic totals over/under $300m, we can debate to what extent this is a problem.

:ufdup:
"Talk to when the final domestic totals come in before we discuss this another dark and dungy DC movie compared to a family friendly Marvel movie."

On paper it looks like a Big drop but Historically it's not really when you look at comic book/superhero movie history. Another August record was broken this weekend. It's almost at 500 Million worldwide so it's made basically 3x's it's budget already (175x3=525)

Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic: $222,874,728 47.9%
+ Foreign: $242,500,000 52.1%
= Worldwide: $465,374,728



So SS is approaching 4x's it budget before it's over, mind you it's doing this without China. That's like a 100 Million loss right there so I don't see how people are saying it's performing bad because it's not. "SS" just moved up the all-time DC movie list passing "Batman Begins". It's on pace to past "Batman 89" (Before inflation of course) and "Man of Steel". Depending on holds, "BatmanVSuperman" could be in trouble domestically as well.
