>DC's Suicide Squad may have not been a hit with critics, but audiences seemed to love it as it went on to gross over $700 million worldwide. The profit a movie studio makes from a blockbuster depends on a variety of things. Deadline Hollywood has studied the numbers from industry insiders to find out the exact profit that Suicide Squad made.
>The film ended up grossing a whopping $325 million domestic and $745 million worldwide. From that, the studio will pocket $329.50 million. In addition, the movie earned the studio another $288.80 million from Home Entertainment and Television Revenue. This brings Suicide Squad on overall revenue of $618.30 million.
>How much did the film cost? It had a production cost of $175 million, and another $156 million was spent on marketing. Add in $40 million from video release and another $88.85 million in fees to the actors and producers. Suicide Squad had total cost of $459.85 million. In comparison, Batman v Superman cost the studio $575 millon and Guardians of the Galaxy cost Disney $520.28 million.
>Using basic subtraction, Deadline came up with the total profit of Suicide Squad: $158.95 million. That means the movie is the most profitable film in the DCEU.
>there are people who honestly believe DC is somehow flopping and failing
Say it with me, MCUcks BTFO!
DChads rejoice, the DCEU is here to stay

How are we so lucky to be graced with his birth lads?
>>80994291
I understand he didn't direct SS but point remains
>>80993983
Let's be real here. This was because of Harley Quinn. Now imagine the numbers Gotham City Sirens will do. Teen and college girls will be going in packs.
>>80994318
I think he was the producer though.

Oh for fuck's sake...
This better not give WB any ideas, because I actually want this DC movie universe thing to work, and they're fucking it up so far.
>>80994669
its working just fine retard, can you read?

>It had a production cost of $175 million
>Deadline came up with the total profit of Suicide Squad: $158.95 million.
I have never understood this manner of calculating profit.
Are the production costs not considered profit for those people who worked on the project and were paid for it? For instance the production costs includes the actor's wages for appearing in the movie. For the actor this is profit. Profit from the movie.
>>80994731
I don't care whether it's doing financially well, I want it to actually be good. I'm selfish like that.
>DC reacts to BvS shitstorm by making SS closer to MCU in tone

Really makes you think.
>>80994920
>>80995039
MCUcks BTFO again top fucking kek
>>80994920
So what you're saying is DC beat Marvel at their own game? on their first try.
>>80995039
apparently you don't seem to realize that being their most profitable movie doesn't mean that they make more than movies like avengers
>MCU tears taste damn good...
Should've put a jar of piss in, then it would have made even more money
>most profitable movie
>barely makes more than doctor strange
Civil War numbers will be coming up soon
suicide squad was #10 for most profitable of 2016 and doctor strange was #11
batman v superman was #13
Deadpool will probably be #1 for all of 2016
>>80995236

>uhh uhh uhh
>oscars
>heh memes
>>80995243
where is that Doctor strange visual effects oscar at bro?
>>80993983
The impact of this movie was surreal.
Every underaged teen's inner slut was brought out by Harley Quinn. Not to mention that most of them loved the abusive part of Joker.
Literally everyone and their grandmas were Harley Quinn on Halloween.
The songs/soundtrack were like on an infinite loop during and after it's release.
It anything it just proves that critics and normies dont mesh well this [current year]
>>80995279
>they do it more successfully
Profit was never mentioned once by that anon retard
>>80993983

Well I am sure a lot of people would pay to see Margot in a slutty costume

fucking retard

>>80995379
Dont move goalposts cuz ur getting shamed. The post you were replying to said DC did it more successfully. Without even really trying. how so? it won them an oscar. Thus the comment wasnt false in anyway.
Admit it and stop embarrassing yourself marveldrone.
>>80993983
Your million profit will last for couple years in Hollywood and your piece of shit art will be remember as a piece of shit eternity.
>>80995496

>>80994356
>>80995357
That really is why though, isn't it? I don't know that I've ever been more attracted to anyone, ever, than I am to Margot Robbie in that costume. I've spent so much precious time looking at stills of her in the movie.
>>80993983
Will there be a sequel?
>over double the profit of DC's most profitable film ever
>>80994356
>casting 3 white females as lead this 2017
Needs a POC or a borderline whitey.
>>80994774
and an Academy Award at that!!!!
>>80994885
Dude that's like basic math. That's the profit left after you subtract every expense. The making of the movie cost is not the only expense. Expenses are not profit, you can't use that money because it is already used.
>people still deny the power of meme marketing
Just look at deadpool as another example
MEMES FUCKING SELL
>>80994885
The actors salary was already on the budget of the movie, it didn't matter how much the movie made, they always get paid. In their bank balance their wage sure is a profit, an active for their services, but in the studio's bank balance wages are a passive, so an expense.
>>80993983

N-No! this can't be right! Marvel bros told me that SS needed 999 sextillion dollars to break even for just marketing alone!
>>80995243
>barely makes more than doctor strange
Dr. Strange had a china release where SS couldn't have released. Dr Strange had a head with roller skates and SS beat it running sandals

I unironically enjoyed watching this movie, it wasnt great but i'd rate it a 7/10
>>80996209
this, i had a good time desu senpai
>>80995799
But the studio is made up of the people who got paid to work on the movie.
I feel like this is more of the bullshit "corporations are considered a person on their own" type of logic.
mcu on suicide watch
BTFO
Is this a surprise? Everyone already knew it was more successful than MoS and BvS
>>80993983
saw the extended version the other day and i expected much worse. it's enjoyable and stupid. just turn your brain off stupid.
>>80995191
you mean dick?

>>80993983
It wasn't good. It wasn't good in any sensible way. I can't think about 1 second of the movie which is not horrible illogical mess. Last 30 minutes were power rangers at their best. Marvel shit is simple, but at least it tries to be comprehensive. Ayer should hang himself after that disgrace, he failed as a director on a basic technical level.
>>80997787
>>80997892
>tfw I remember the MCUcks saying that SS needed 1billion gojira dollars just to break even.

The smear campaign is confirmed real. What now?
>>80993983
>$288.80 million from Home Entertainment and Television Revenue
Literally all DCEU movies are absolute hits in video sales. It's amazing. They have three out three hits so far with BvS outgrossing Civil War in that market. The power of making movies people still remember when the bluray comes out I guess
>>80998041
holy shit...wtf is this shit? whats wrong with people? Is this what passes for "credible" reporting? Denofgeek should be getting panned for shit like this
>but audiences seemed to love it as it went on to gross over $700 million worldwide.
I'm sure they went in loving the idea of enjoying the movie then left with regret.
>>80998122
It's based on a hollywood reporter piece, based on an ((((anonymous source)))). Just like when they said that SS had gone through massive reshoots and Ayer confirmed they were photography reshoots scheduled in advance. They also said WB was freaking out because the JL trailer was a mess and it has already BTFO GotG2 trailer in two days. Smear campaign
>>80995381

nice falseflagging MCUcks
keep trying

If that were true, word of mouth would have killed the movie's momentum.

MCU is culturally irrelevant. SS turned Harley Quinn into an icon.
>>80999591
>SS turned Harley Quinn into an icon.

>>80993983
Is Suicide Squad a Super Hero in itself? It overcame the odds, it overcame the odds of marvel bias critics falling to their knees begging to not see this movie and all the bad buzz regarding the reshoots.
>>80999776
Suicide squad killed itself
>>80995243
So let me see if I got this, Dr. Strange, the latest installment of the super popular film franchise, who had the benefit of knowing all the shortcomings and successes of previous installments, and was tailor made to be the magic Iron-Man to appeal to china....couldn't top the most hated film from what was deemed a shitty franchise with a barrage of bad press even with positive reception and a china screening?

Why every time people talk about movie profits they assume that declared budget equals studio expenses? 200mil$ budget doesn't necessarily mean that all of 200mil$ paid from studio's pocket. I like how people like to take into account movie marketing costs but completely forget about something like product placement money studio receives
>>80999034
Only 2017 can tell
>>80993983
so what sells these days is two hour long trailers?
>>80994885
You have three parts.
Cost, revenue and profit
Cost is what you pay.
Revenue is what you sell for.
Profit is the difference between cost and revenue, so the money that effectively goes into or out of your pocket
>>80993983
This film has severely damaged the brand though. I haven't spoken to a single person who liked this movie. Sacrificing long term stability for short term profit is not a good move.
>>81002136
You said the same thing about BvS and then this happened
>>80993983
as a staunch defender of man of steel and bvs, I really dont understand why you are taking any pride in this, SS was pure garbage, if anything it's bad because it will push DC to make more shit instead of cape kino
>>80994648
Will Smith is the white man's black man, though. He's the nigger we want niglets to grow up and become.
>>80995190
>A film made up of literal who characters makes 85% of the Avengers movie after Marvel spends half a decade building up to it
>>80995357
You are correct. People are obviously keen to see Margot in underwear, because she's famously never ever gone nude before
>>81002173
No I was mixed on BvS and had faith that the series DCEU could recover with a different director. After SS, I probably won't see anymore of their films in the cinema until they release a good one.
>>80999666
Those digits don't lie.
Also lots of Chad Jokers out there now.
>>81002306
>I
Ok
>>80997821
Hence why they have to pay for them friendo
>>80998009
You don't try to make sense of the DCEU. You simply witness it
>>81002306
SS didn't damage the brand though, if anything there are like a million new Harley fans out there now. They are getting a new cashcow with every movie so it seems, HQ and now Aquaman, no wonder every movie they make is more profitable than the last
>>80998305
Leto was the best actor in the movie. It was actually a sequel to Fight Club, they just haven't got the rights to it or the idea of it.
>>80998609
OK then, what is the name of Batman's mother?
>>80999034
MCU is already over. RDjnr is their only appeal, and people are getting sick of his shtick
>>80999591
MCU is so forgettable that they actually recast the Hulk and literally no one noticed. In later films he's Mark Ruffallo, but in other scenes, he's this giant green guy
>>81002136
>I haven't spoken to a single person who liked this movie

Guys, guys I like capeshit/kino in general. DC(EU), MCU, Fox, Sony you name it.
But can we right fucking Now end this bullshit meme that marketing budget is = production budget, so any movie ever produced cost twice than it's written.
All those articles with meme mathematics are written mostly by libcucks who watch CNN and blacked.com
>>81002483
It's just a meme Disney shills made up to make it seem that DC movies aren't massively succesful. Don't mind them, at this point they take what they can get

I am serious. I fucking tired of this meme. It contradicts itself.
For example a particular movie considered (merely) successful if it's gathered 2x, 3x of it's budget. Right? Because of meme mathematics .
But how in the fuck they writing that WB lost (budget-box office based on the-numbers/boxofficemojo)number for Live by Night if it's also marketing involved?! How in the fuck 2(+2)-1=2?!
Not to mention all product placements. Or leaks from Sony's emails were they were hiding actual boxoffice money of their movies.
It's 9/11 type of bullshit. Seriously kys libcucks. Kill yourself please. Please.

>>81002505
Oh no, it's not just Disney shills.
I am clearly see pure [juice] pattern in it. Like "oh no, we lost that much moneys on this particular movie, it was totally flop, we won't pay taxes this time goyim".
Box office "succeses" like Force Awakens and Avatar are false-flag.
