SUICIDE SQUAD Shifts Down to #2 in Fourth Weekend of Release

Suicide Squad held onto the top spot at the North American box office for three weekends in a row – the first installment of the DC Extended Universe to do so. However, with horror thriller Don’t Breathe drastically overperforming in its opening weekend, it’s time for the Squad to move down to second place.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Suicide Squad grossed an estimated $12.1 million this weekend. This is a 42% drop from last weekend’s gross of $21.7 million. The DC film has currently earned $282.9 million domestically, $353 million internationally and $636 million worldwide.

Gitesh Pandya predicts that Suicide Squad will end its domestic run with about $310 million. Meanwhile, it might reach a massive $730 million by the end of its worldwide run – and that’s without a release in China. This would put it ahead of 2013’s Man of Steel ($291M/$668M), but behind Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($330M/$872M). For a critically panned film starring lesser known comic book characters, these are really good numbers.

Stay tuned for more box office updates as we have them.
