Suicide Squad had a record breaking opening weekend in cinemas
David Ayers feature about the worst heroes ever brought down a huge $267.1 million (€240 million) worldwide in just three days, tearing up box office records left and right. It's the largest August domestic opening of all time, taking the crown from Guardians of the Galaxy and the biggest single day in August ever with over $65 million.
That's all good news for Warner Bros and there's more to like with an audience score of B+, suggesting that the people who actually pay to go to the cinema liked it a good deal more than critics. That's also reflected in the rift between critic scores and audience results; 40 vrs 6.8 on Metacritic and 26 vrs 72 on Rotten Tomatoes.
