Despite having less than a 30% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Suicide Squad set a record for best August opening by any movie in the history of forever by earning $135.1 million in North America. But ticket sales of less than $40 million on Saturday were a huge drop-off compared to its strong Friday opening, indication that the movie might not have a very long box office life.
Can a movie that sets a box office record ultimately be considered a bomb? Time will tell. One thing we do know for sure is that any movie looks better in comparison when its opening weekend competition stars Kevin Spacey as a cat.
Films on trial for crimes against humanity, decency, and general good taste.
