In somewhat of a close call, the Suicide Squad ultimately quieted the Sausage Party – on its way to a second straight weekend victory…
With a second weekend haul of $43.7 million, Suicide Squad claimed the thrown once again – even despite a crushing 67% slide in attendance compared to last weekend’s thunderous $133.6 million opening. Still, Suicide Squad had a profitable first week on the market, currently enjoying a 10-day total of $222.8 million – slightly below the pace of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Nevertheless, Suicide Squad has performed well, thus far – both on the domestic front and the foreign markets. Foreign contributions have contributed a hefty $242.5 million, rapidly bringing the anti-superhero film’s worldwide total to $465.3 million. It’s still unclear what kind of longevity the film has – and the next few weeks will be critical in regards to whether Suicide Squad can reach the $1 billion neighborhood. …show more content…
The film, featuring an all-star voice cast, led by Seth Rogen, gave Suicide Squad a good scare by winning the day on Friday before relinquishing the rest of the weekend to Harley Quinn and company. Regardless, it’s a potent debut for Sausage Party – having been produced on only $19 million.
Disney’s latest live-action fairytale, Pete’s Dragon, debuted in third place – securing $21.5 million. It’s an average opening for the film, which stars Robert Redford – although it could have been much worse. Disney’s previous live-action release, The BFG, could only muster $18.7 million against a $140 million production budget. Pete’s Dragon was produced on a far more acceptable $65 million.
Jason Bourne slipped two spots, landing in fourth place – adding $13.6 million. It’s been a pretty solid 17-day run for the action flick – as the film has now grossed $246.1 million, worldwide ($126.7 million,
