Speaking of, I plan on watching Suicide Squad for the first time next. It's interesting that it's the exact opposite of Batman vs Superman in that the extended cut is on the Blu Ray instead of the 4K for whatever reason.

It doesn't have to make it back this weekend. They will sell a blu ray to every high school girl who likes comics, punk, or Margot Robbie.
And yes, I'm aware of the pressure to set the world on fire the first weekend. But all this hand ringing after only 48 hours is too much.
Yup. Lets see what kind of legs it has before the soothsayers say to panic lmao.
I just saw it. It was pretty fun. Huntress needs another film she was great. Cassandra was kinda disappointing. Really not comic accurate but maybe she'll grow into it. The movie did not needed to be rated R I hope they put out a pg 13 cut in theaters. That would help the box office
The movie likely needs $325 million to break even. Studios don't get 1:1 with box office. Better estimate would probably be 2.5x the combined budget and marketing.
Had a great time watching Birds of Prey today. Loved the action, the music, the little nods to current DCEU continuity, and how Harley really made the movie unique beyond a pastiche of Tarantino with a little John Wick. Definitely hoping more people give the film a shot and I think it'll have legs once more people see it this weekend.
It just seems so bizarre to me for Birds of Prey of all comic properties to get an R rating with tons of f bombs. Like, even though Deadpool has had few if any R-rated equivalent comic books, you can at least kind of see an R-rated Deadpool making sense, because the comics for the character DO often have bleeped profanity and heavy violence. But Birds of Prey? Why?
For people saying that they may learn the wrong lesson about this, this is a case where I think R-rating IS a problem that they could learn from. It doesn't make sense for the team, and it cuts out tons of teen girls who may be really into it from seeing it. I'm not outright against r-ratings for comics movies, but I think it should only be for properties where it feels makes sense. Deadpool, Joker, Logan, makes a reasonable amount of sense. But I don't believe it does for Birds of Prey.

I still feel you'd have to water down the villains of this movie a lot if you decided drop the r rating.
The bulk of the blame lies with poor marketing.
It's a shame, but hopefully WB's new leadership dont overly panic in response to this.

This is absolutely not true. $200M to break even. It's cost around $80M after tax credits.
And then the marketing budget..
Also, it cost around $85M after the credits (97.1-12.6).

Its not making more than 200 worldwide.
Edit:: The funny thing is if Joker had made some sort of appearance in this movie, it would have done much better. Even Leto's Joker.
For Shazam 2, they need to bring Supes for that or another recognizable character. It can still be Shazams movie but they do what marvel did with homecoming by adding IronMan.

We need to bring back #SevenForTheSeven
Everyone watch the movie seven times each!
In all seriousness though, the new leadership at WB seems a lot more sensible than the last.
The right lessons will be learned from this. I just hope we get to see more of the birds of prey.
I need my first CBM romantic film in Canary and the Green Arrow :(

WB Pictures keeps retweeting tons of Birds Of Prey tweets, so they certainly aren't leaving it out there to die.
Harley says one of the reasons he hates her is
because she has a vagina.

They def explained they broke up in the beginning of the trailer lol what
No I mean actually show it, like have joker being a fucking psycho to her. Not just me and joker broke up.
showing joker would've put ass in seats like ironman in Spider-Man.
It would have been a draw if Jared's Joker was well received, people would have been dying to see more of him.
I don't think that's an issue, people don't seem that bothered by it in the MCU.
People would have been dying to see a one minute scene of him abusing Harley?!
If Suicide Squad and Joker had been well received, I doubt him abusing Harley would have been the only scene in the movie.
If Leto was still playing Joker he probably wouldn't have taken Morbius.
If you've seen BoP and you think Joker should have been in it, you missed the entire point of the movie. Jesus.
