Suicide Squad cleared #4 on the most profitable movie this summer. Can we have a thread about the little movie that could?

Who do you want in a sequel? What were your favorite elements? What bits would you like to see translated over to the comics? Personally I'm a big fan of Dirtwitch Enchantress and Katana, and would love for both to become the standards in the comics.

Bring back Slipknot with his movie design and a more low-key and realistic abusive relationship between Harley and the Joker for the comics. For a sequel, more black ops and political stuff.

For as much memeing as Slipknot gets he did have a really cool design in the movie, and "professional climber/hangman" is a pretty cool street level criminal niche.

Didn't see it, no intention of seeing it, and judging from its IMDB rating, along with the fact that they apparently turned the Squad into a family of lovable rogues or some shit, it may actually not be that good, but I'm glad it did well; it's difficult not to see this film as some sort of underdog, or as the "little movie that could" as OP put it. The freakout from the critics was worth it, and given their overblown reaction towards its financial success, quality of the movie aside, and the exaggeratedly low RT rating it received, it's hard not to believe that many of them don't have an axe to grind against DC. Success of the film means that people may be starting to think for themselves while putting pro critics on less of a pedestal. I'm glad others saw it for me, just for that.

Because critics are the root of all evil after giving a mediocre all female reboot of a franchise nobody gives a shit about anymore a pass but trashed a poorly edited, poorly scripted, poorly acted music video featuring the Joker for 7 minutes.

friendly reminder that Guardians of the Galaxy outright lied about their budget to make it seem more successful, and probably came in at far more than reported.

Friendly reminder that Civil War reportedly cost $250 million before marking, and considering Disney has a proven track record of lying probably came in at far more.

Friendly reminder that making up numbers and tacking them onto the budget doesn't change reality, and the reality was that Suicide Squad was a huge hit.

So skwad was front-loaded and made as much because DC floaded it into all markets on releash while Guardians had strong legs and actually exceeded expectations and skwad will still not beat it domestically or internationally at this point. Sounds about right.


>outpaced by a movie about Captain Boomerang and Harley Quinn's ass
You know this doesn't work when the adverts highlighted Joker and Batman's cameos not anything you described meanwhile didn't see Iron Man or Cap in Guardians.

You do understand that the reason all superhero movies have massive drops their second week due to their built-in audiences all going the first week, right? This has been true since Batman '89.

Movies that a lot of people go see in their first week show drops for the second week because everybody has already seen them.

Except those are both normal drops DCuck. Getting over 60% following week isn't normal not even Bayformers get those kinds of drops hence why people made about deal about the percentage drop of both.
>Movies that a lot of people go see in their first week show drops for the second week because everybody has already seen them.

If Suicide Squad makes $17 million more dollars domestically in the next 20 weeks it will beat the first two Iron Man movies. If it makes $29 million it will beat Batman v Superman, and after $32 million it will beat Guardians.

Came out around the same time, one got constant praise but couldn't even make its budget back despite being a high profile franchise and the other was a relatively unknown property (by the average population at least) that got panned by critics but became one of the most successful movies of the year.

According to my poor math skills. Marvel paid it's investors around 330 million profit. it's probably higher but there is a lot to take into account. The amount invest in the movie was around 430m so there was a guaranteed 75% return on their investment that marvel had to pay back before making any monies themselves.
So investors made back their 430 and got a cool 330 on top of that.

Being left out is taxes and companies paying marvel to push their product but very crappy math puts it around that

Consider this: two of the top three movies are family-friendly animated movies, and Civil War is a family-friendly superhero movie. Suicide Squad was not family friendly by any stretch, and was barred from a lot of international markets.

You make the bulk of your movie within the first few weeks. Sure you gain some on the long haul but there is no way in hell they're making up the deficit in another 13 weeks.

Captain America and Skwad are also both PG-13 and is noted for having given a misleading representation that it was more fun and/or lighthearted via trailers.

More poor math for SS.

Of the known 275 million invested in the movie. WB paid back 185 which puts it at 67% return on their investment before WB could start raking in cash. Once again any endorsements and taxes are left out. WB assumingly had a better deal when making the movie then Disney. This is all awful math though at face value and poorly rounded but for sure there is a required amount that the Investors make back and possibly a small % after that mark. It still floats that 77% of the cost to make CW didn't go to Disney and 67% of the cost to make SS didn't go to WB

So since we know the Guardians budget was closer to 235mil than the 170mil reported how much of a delusional shill do you have to be to say Guardians is a massive success but Suicide Squad is a gigantic failure?
>>
>>86138800
Keep in mind that Gog had a cast of 100% "literally who?'s while SS had Joker level star power to draw people in.

To compare the two is like comparing a Boster Gold movie to Iron Man 4.
>>
>>86138136

Guardians of the Galaxy opened in 24 more countries than Suicide Squad did as well. It's not just China the Suicide Squad lost
>>
>>86138877

But you also have to keep in mind that GoTG had all that MCU good will and hype behind it.
>>
>>86137985

It's not really about drop off it's the profit to production. If Deadpool was on the list it would shoot past Civil War

Or because they genuinely think they're mostly bland. I've only really liked the Captain America movies. I watched Avengers a month ago and it's aged really badly
>>
>>86138988

But it didn't stand on it's own two feet. If it had not had the MCU branding do you really think it would have made as much as it did ?
>>
>>86138879
That's true, and I don't know how many more they have coming. Japan is coming tomorrow, I think, and superhero movies generally run about 10 million there.

Finding Dory was odd because it only made like 30 mil in china while it made over 60 mil in Japan, while Superhero movies pull in almost 100 mil in China and do meager numbers in Japan.

Well the Japanese like cutesy crap and always have but we're never big on superheroes because they had their own comics and Super Sentai stuff. The Chinese really don't like cutesy crap and would rather watch gritty murderbots. SS probably would have done well there
>>
>>86139153

Apparently it was only 30mil but that's horseshit
>>
>>86139042
And if SS didn't have the DC branding plus harley quinn who everyone has known since the 90s? Gotg was a entirely new cast from marvel that few normies knew about SS and Harley as the lead carrying everyone else with guest appearances by batman and the joker. It was built around batman's fan base. Gotg was built around its own
>>
>>86139266

>The DC branding

What those 2 other movies everybody hated?
>>
>>86139266

Did you know that in a lot of foreign countries SS has made double what GoTG made?

A strange thing is that SS has made almost as much as Civil War did in Australia

The first part only feeds that narrative that people in different countries have known about bat man, the joker, and his gf far longer then gotg

those appear to be bloomberg's attempts at forcing the "gross minus reported production budget equals profit" fallacy, though to be fair to them they've taken out distribution at around 50% of the gross

because we all know marketing doesn't cost a dime, especially on big movies that can't afford to hook audiences for the sequels in their cinematic universe

Also they tied her campagin to Ghostbusters and that whole "Shatter the highest glass ceiling" line.

Literally is the Hillary Clinton of Movies.

Poorly produced piece trying to run on "It has women in it and if you hate it you are a sexist bigiot."

Oh and they also tagged Trump as the oppositions leader. Could not be more perfect.

The same thing happened with Guardians of the Galaxy. Everybody said it would tank, and then it did pretty decent. Hopefully this will send the message to Warner Brothers that non A-list IP's are financially viable films, but it probably won't because they still felt the need to shoehorn in Batfaggotry.

One was a critical darling that opened in less theaters and gained more money as it went on to be ranked for weeks. The other was a front-loaded critical flop that's lost more and more money each week? Yeah they're similar. Also nobody thought SS would flop given how they included Joker and Bats in but people did underestimate how many stupid people would go to see it.

It won't have any real jokes and Plasticman will be a gritty con who escaped from jail and shamelessly skews over everyone around him.

you do know squad did better domestically than Guardians right? and would have done worldwide also if not for china. Squad also kept the number 1 spot longer than guardians did.

But you are right, gritty doesn't mean realistic or humorless, but it will be all 3 because Plastic man is a criminal and they need to find a way to make him interesting. Just like no one cares about a kind Superman who can destroy your feels, no one cares about a wacky Plasticman.

So SS did more money on less budget than GotG against the critics, has hold the top spot for three weeks straight and it's making more money than Civil War (an Avengers movie no less) in a few countries.

also
