Huh, I was wrong on that one. Bigger than I expected and not bad overall total. -- nm - MDH Aug 15, 10:15 1
- If not for the resurge, I would have been there opening night. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 11:35
Was it theaters only of streaming same day somewhere too? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 15, 09:53 3
- Since it was under a Fox contract, Disney couldn't do it as Premier Access. -- nm - David Aug 15, 10:12
- Theatres only, because Disney didn't renegotiate to allow streaming -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 09:54
- theaters only -- nm - prayformojo Aug 15, 09:54
Definitively not a bomb, right? -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 15, 09:25 13
- This is best case scenario for it and underscores the totality of Suicide Squad's failure. But it's still not good in the greater scheme. -- nm - David Aug 15, 10:13 3
  - So are you saying "the movie is a bomb" or "the industry is a bomb"? -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 15, 11:13 2
    - Sorry. I guess my question is "are you saying that the new normal is just not good?" -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 15, 11:14 1
      - "Part of the new cruelty?" "I'm afraid so." -- (link) - L.A. Story Aug 15, 11:28 [youtube]
- It got a sequel announcement immediately and it beat Suicide Squad. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 15, 09:30 8
  - Not by much. It didn't come close to F9 or BW. and it'll have a 70% drop next week. It's a disaster like Squad in terms of Box Office.... - Remlik Aug 15, 10:06 6
    - Sequel, and prequel. -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 11:36
    - It lacked the name recognition of those titles as a new IP. So, the scaling is different here. -- nm - David Aug 15, 10:14 1
      - Yes -- nm - Spawn Aug 15, 11:37
    - Budget for Free Guy is 100-125mil. the others are.....much much higher. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 15, 10:08 2
      - that's a good point. Had a global tally of $51 on smaller budget while Squad had a global tally of 62 on a higher budget BUT kept people - Remlik Aug 15, 10:17 1
        
        Re: Your IM. Says who? Suicide Squad didn't even beat Mortal Kombat's numbers on HBO Max. -- nm - David Aug 15, 10:46
  - Tbh, I'm not sure how it did that except for looking fun and lighthearted and probably not being rated R oh and being funny and bright and having Ryan -- nm - Beryllium Aug 15, 09:33
