Oh no, I'm Kylo Ren? Shoot first Han and put me of my misery.

the drop isn't any worse then Civil War, GoTG etc. hell it even has DOFP beat. with critical backlash the only thing that can make a movie go like this is good word of mouth.



if you watch closely to when joker puts the foot down on the gas, he has pinstripe socks. the things you notice on 3 viewings.

it's at 223 Million USD.

DOFP Was only at 110 Million USD after it's second weekend.

GoTG Finished at 176 Million USD after it's second weekend.

Civil War Finished at 295 Million USD after it's second weekend, Suicide is keeping up with that number.

as for the information not being true, go ahead and head over to BO MOJO and tell them that.

Here, I'll make it easier for you. https://www.boxofficemojo.com/

Don't get snippy, it's your words. You said the drop wasn't worse, but it is.

Percentages dude.

Second weekend drop SS: 67%
Second weekend drop CW:59%
Second weekend drop GotG:55%
Second weekend drop DoFP:64%

I'm pretty sure those movies didn't have a 67% drop in the second weekend. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I never said anything about percentages- that was your assumption, but thanks for posting that. Proves my point that it's keeping up just fine. Especially on a 175Mil budget.

It's comparable to DOFP, but there's a large difference between 55% and 67%. A 67% drop is considered very bad, 55% is average.

Maybe she gave head one too many times?

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)

It's ok I was confused myself while watching it.

Another bit that made more sense the second time around was Croc underwater at the end. I literally thought he went full homicidal on all the soldiers out of the blue but then last night I noticed that there were extra blob head minions down there that he was fighting with instead. Makes a lot more sense now. And of course him getting tangled up with them presented a feasible reason for why he was out of the blast radius.

I found myself really liking Enchantress. Since what's her name isn't a great actress it was a really good move to have her voiced by some cool Cate Blanchett sounding chick. Also by having her be the main villain it also provided a nice organic reason for why the team would immediately be called into action. So often with movies like this the simultaneous creation of both the heroes and the villains are just so damned eye rollingly contrived. The worst ever of course being the original 2002 Spider-Man where Peter and Norman both spontaneously becoming opposing superbeings the exact same week under completely different circumstances. Talk about a bajillion to 1 scenario.

And it's interesting that Bruce Wayne basically owns Amanda Waller now. I'm guessing she'll be working her ass off to get some dirt on him to even out the "leverage." Unless of course the assumption is simply that she knows he's Batman and he'll keep her involvement in destroying Midway City a secret as long as she keeps quiet. But I don't think that that last scene really said one way or another if she knows or not. For all she knows he's just the "Amanda Waller" of the Justice League; a normal who organizes the supers.

And I don't know if it was just because some of you planted the seed or not but watching Joker and Harley rise from the chemicals with that music playing...it did feel kind of Twilight-ish. So karamazov I'll give that one to you bud. But interestingly enough I still LOVE how that scene is not only staged but also edited in with the "present day" footage. Not only does the sequence start out with a cool "Ghostbusters" moment (Harley getting tired while ascending the massive staircase) but I really liked how they took the opportunity to, again, organically have her look over the rail and be reminded of her fall at the Chemical Plant. And then having her snap out of it and almost blow Deadshot's head off. Great editing, great character moments for all.

And being an idiot who does NOT know these characters comic/cartoon backstories it actually clicked that those chemicals turned her skin white like the Joker's. Derp. I guess I assumed she was either really pale or had make-up or something. I think Heath Ledger might have contributed to me not instantly making the assumption that their actual skin was white.

67% is a big drop-off. But it needs to drop quicker to be a proper cult-classic. I was hoping for 80-89%.

I'd like to see this in SS2. Waller literally flat out tells batman she'll spill the beans on his identity if he doesn't move out of her way.

As for the twilight argument I'm sorry I still don't see it, I know it's a romantic/creepy moment, and a massive moment for the character but it's also told through Harley's own flashback- who's obsessed with the Joker like a 12 year old would be over a vampire.

Yeah, their skin was bleached. However, I wonder if Joker's green hair is also as a result of the chemical dip, or does he dye his hair green? Harley didn't get the green hair. Unless it was a different chemical.

Twilight or not it works, especially since it was from her POV as you say.

I liked that Leto had no eyebrows as The Joker. Like Arnold in T1 it makes for such a creepy look.

In the scene Joker is wearing a red shirt, harley a blue dress. That's why her hair is died that way. Joker must have been wearing some green, or his hair just turned that color after.

We still haven't gotten Joker's version of that origin, let alone his origin. Which I'm sure will be dark as ****.

I don't think she had the blue and pink color on her hair when she was in prison.

Are you sure her hair is permanently dyed red and blue? I thought when she was in her cell it was totally bleached. I thought she did the red and blue herself as part of her suit-up routine prior to entering the city.
