"The Suicide Squad" opens to $26.5m

It would have been a $300m film 2 years ago.

But now the audiences are used to streaming, the studios have all built their own streaming services.

The studios have the leverage and they're never giving it back.

It's over for AMC

I thought that was already a movie. Feel like I sat through some suicide squad chit a few years ago. Am I repeating parts of the simulation?

RIP to movie theatres.

Are the studios still making as much money on these movies with the deals thru streaming providers? They couldn't be could they?

I watched it on HBO Max. Pretty average movie. A solid 6-7/10. Movie suffers from some of the same problems as the first, pacing/editing and corny jokes, but I preferred this version much more.

Then the detractors will call it a flop because it won't make a billion dollars at the theater like Marvel movies. Exactly what they did with Black Widow. Why spend $100 to take the family to the theater when you can watch it at home?

I think that one was "Suicide Squad" and this one is "The Suicide Squad".

Streaming providers have way too much money to play with. Amazon bought the rights to the movie The Tomorrow War for 200 million straight up.

Watched it last night while high. This movie is straight ass..... Between the unknown villians to the starfish they fight.

Margot Robbie was the best part of the movie.

I watched it last night and thought it was worth a watch. Kinda funny. Good action scenes.

It's like one of those movies you'd watch on a plane, but not pay to go to see at the cinema.

The starfish monster thing was cringe tho

Simulation is running out of ram. That’s why covid was released and peoples movement halted, too many glitches like trump winning 2016. The vaccine is setup to depopulate excess user base.

It’s also the reason Hollywood hasn’t had an original idea since the 90s… I mean what other reason could there be?

last one I saw there I believe was 1917, that's the type of movie that really benefits from the theatre setting

wouldn't have gone to the theatre for Suicide Squad though lol, did watch it at home

This is true, people have power creeped the ratings scale.

Just look at IMDB - if there is a movie from the 90s or earlier with a 7+ rating it's probably a good movie. Where as anything released post 2000 that is 'acceptable' gets a courtesy 7 rating

The only thing I enjoyed about that movie was

Spoiler!
seeing that bug eyed guy from Saturday night live get his face caved in by a machine gun in the first 5 minutes, and that annoying lady who's in charge of the squad get knocked tf out with a pipe


Other than that it was kinda boring/generic. Glad I watched it for free

It was a putter brah.

Also watched it last night tho, I'd say it's worth a Wednesday Night "nothing else to do" watch, but it's nothing that people will be talking about at work on Monday.

Poor pacing, poor characters, and a poor enemy makes for an overall poor movie. By today's standards it's a 6/10.

On a scale of 1-10 realistically, a 4/10 feels right.

It's a huge flop. Couldn't happen to more deserving people either.

From John Nolte's movie column...
James Gunn, a far-left Woketard who defends political blacklisting, finds child rape funny, and traded videos with the url “100-pubescent-girls-touch-themselves” with a guy who’s now a convicted ****phile, has just delivered one of the biggest box office disasters in history.

His Suicide Squad just opened to a pathetic $25 million, which makes it a historical failure.

It probably didn’t help that the movie starred John “China’s Bitch” Cena.

For more than a year, the depraved entertainment complex rallied around the Guardians of the Galaxy director after Disney fired him over everything listed above. Immediately after that firing, Warner Bros. hired him to write and direct this Suicide Squad reboot. Then, after Disney completed its merger with 20th Century-Fox, Disney itself rehired him for the upcoming Guardians 3.

What this means is that with this weekend’s release of Gunn’s Suicide Squad, the entertainment community has a huge emotional investment in Gunn’s success. He simply must deliver a box office hit to shove it up the asses of all those hideous Trumptards who attacked him. And so a scheme was hatched. No matter what, his Suicide Squad reboot must be hailed as THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER!!!! and THE SUICIDE SQUAD MOVIE AMERICA’S BEEN WAITING FOR!!!

And that’s exactly what happened….

Although his Suicide Squad isn’t very good (more on this below), it still earned almost unanimous raves with a Rotten Tomato rating of over 90 percent. By comparison, director David Ayer’s 2016 version starring Will Smith earned a terrible 26 percent.

So basically what we had was another Internet gaslighting campaign like the one the far-left entertainment media launched to artificially prop up In the Heights. The goal was to create a bandwagon effect by telling people Gunn’s Suicide Squad was already a huge hit.

Well, lol, we all saw how that worked out for the Woketard flop In the Heights, and now Gunn’s Suicide Squad is an even bigger catastrophe. With a production budget close to $200 million and a promotional budget that has to put it over $250 million, it’s projected to open to less than $30 million this weekend.

In fact, Gunn’s critically hailed reboot/sequel/whatever is going to open below Birds of Prey’s $34 million, the 2020 standalone Harley Quinn flop that starred Margot Robbie.

If you want another laugh, Birds of Prey only cost $85 million to produce. Gunn’s Suicide Squad cost at least $185 million.

For five years, critics have been trashing Ayer’s 2016 original and salivating over Gunn’s redo, well here are the results…

Suicide Squad (2016) Friday haul: $65 million.
The Suicide Squad (2021) Friday haul: $12 million.
Suicide Squad (2016) opening weekend: $134 million.
The Suicide Squad (2021) opening weekend: $25 million.

The sycophant entertainment media will blame this failure on the virus, but… Just a few weeks ago Black Widow opened to $80 million. Just a few weeks before that, F9 opened to $70 million.

The sycophant entertainment media will blame this failure on the fact Suicide Squad is simultaneously available to HBOMAX subscribers, but… Just a few weeks ago, so was The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and that opened to $24 million.

Who wants to tell me it’s totally normal that the low-budget Conjuring 3 opened nearly as well (with the same HBOMax release) as a $200 million superhero movie backed by a ****load of critical gushing?

Is the problem Gunn? That’s certainly part of it. He’s a fascist ******* with a creepy past.

Is the problem that people are finally tired of superhero/comic book movies? I think that’s also part of it. Everything post-Avengers: Endgame (2019) feels awfully anti-climactic.

Is the problem woketard-ery? Obviously. Gunn’s Suicide Squad isn’t openly woke; but like all modern movies, it’s so sexless you’d think a 100-year-old nun was on the set to make sure nothing untoward was allowed. One of the big attractions of 2016’s Suicide Squad was Margot Robbie strutting around in short shorts. Sex sells. Sex is fun. There’s none of that in Gunn’s Suicide Squad, which makes it a whole lot less fun.

Is the problem that after Birds of Prey flopped, maybe Warner Bros. should’ve figured out no one is interested in these C-list DC characters unless one of them is played by an actual movie star like Will Smith? Duh.

The biggest problem, though, is that Gunn’s Suicide Squad just isn’t very good. It launches with some zest and then becomes almost laughably repetitive. Oh, here comes another action scene set to an obscure pop song. There must be a dozen of these moments, and at first they’re kind of fun, but after an hour or so, you can feel the hollowness of it all, how they’re being used to paper over an insanely thin plot and dull characters you don’t care very much about.

I much prefer Ayer’s version – if only for the short shorts.

Regardless, **** that fascist, blacklisting piece of **** James Gunn.
