Latest SUICIDE SQUAD Tracking Predicts an Even Higher Opening Weekend

A few weeks ago, initial tracking for Suicide Squad suggested that the film was on course for a $125 million+ opening weekend. This would give it the highest August opening in history. Now, with the film hitting theaters this weekend, some updated tracking suggests that an even bigger debut is imminent.

According to The Wrap, Suicide Squad is now on track to earn somewhere between $130 million and $140 million this weekend. It could even beat Finding Dory‘s $135 million debut, which would give the DC movie the third highest opening weekend of the year. But in the possibility that Suicide Squad does not pass Dory, then it’ll have to make over $132 million to pass Deadpool as #4.

Suicide Squad has been fueled by a stellar marketing campaign, an A-list cast, and a unique concept for a comic book movie. The next step is word-of-mouth. Film critics are publishing their reviews tomorrow, and the reception could absolutely affect its box office gross. More importantly, will the movie resonate with the general audience?

Stay tuned for more news as we have it.


Suicide Squad is scheduled to hit theaters August 5th. The third installment in the DC Extended Universe stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Jai Courtney, Joel Kinnaman, Cara Delevingne, Viola Davis, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Adam Beach, Jay Hernandez and Karen Fukahara. David Ayer writes and directs.
