If I had the Juelz Santana gif, I would use it. The budget for production including marketing was close to 200M. Along with international markets, they didn't come close to recouping half of that.
Suicide Squad bombs at the box office. $26.5M Domestic.

In before people blame streaming
The people have spoken
The day and date streaming is here to stay. I’m willing to even pay $20-$30 for these movies at home.
i don’t know why people think it’s going. Convenience is king. This is the natural way of the media business, streaming is here to stay. Movies will only be big blockbusters and luxury status (full meals, cocktails, limited seating, etc)

It's baked into your cable bill depending on your service, so depending on your carrier, you're paying for it. It's not free.
Who cares tho? Who expectations is high?
Like I dont get it
The Lion King is the last movie that's gonna hit a billy for a while now
They streaming the movie on a service where you can watch for free. We are still in a pandemic like wtf yall expect?

Sooo many factors hurt this film.
One factor people aren't discussing is the name of the film. Casual fans don't know the difference between "Suicide Squad" and "The Suicide Squad" Your point is to distance yourself from the shytty first movie, not package it like a re-release or a directors cut.
Rated R, generally gonna do less regardless.
Pandemic obviously still hurting theaters.
HBO max is free. At least disney plus charged an extra $30. with disneys model i figured might as well spend that money in a nice theater than at home.
Characters, One of the big selling points in the first. Was the Joker Footage and Will Smith. Margot Robbie was a breakout star after the fact, not the selling point. Birds of prey should've been proof enough of this and Idris Elba while a great Actor, has always struggled to fill seats himself. He slowly falling off from the Denzel roles into the forest whitter support roles. Sad to see.
Lack of Tie in, The MCU big selling point is the interconnectivity of all the projects. Each film feels like a must see or else you 'll miss something important to later films. The first suicide squad was supposed to tie into the rest of DCEU and had cameos from Batman and Flash. This one was advertised as being a stand alone soft reboot. why?
just means you don't feel any need to see it if you like Wonder Woman or Aquaman etc
take all 6 of those factors together and you got flop

Breh this is the best time ever to go to the movies. I've been going since they opened up here last summer. There's never more than 4 other people in the theater no matter what it is. Reserved seating. Buffer seats. Sanitizer and wipes everywhere. No obnoxious moviegoers . No people talking or on their phone
I saw a movie yesterday there were 2 others. And 1 walked out halfway through.
Pretty much every movie I’ve seen since theaters reopened has been like having my own private theater. The only movie that had more than five people was Jungle Cruise.
