The person that insisted the Birds of Prey or Harley Quinn movie or whatever should be rated-R should be fired.
Granted the movie might not have made Suicide Squad movie but WB definitely left off money off the table with that rating.

Yeah I think that while wb wanted stronger box office numbers they were mostly concerned with quality and building the franchise and popularity of DC films as a whole after the rocky start. The film will most likely break even and even earn a little profit while garnering good reviews. Also, we have to take into account home video sales for this film, which based on the fan reaction for the movie will be pretty strong fo a rated R film. Additionally, with the home release it could get a bigger following from the younger female crowd that couldn't see the movie in theaters. Lastly the film will be on HBO Max most likely and people who didn't have a desire to see it in theaters because of SS will probably view it and see that it was a good movie. I wouldn't be surprised if it got a sequel tbh if Suicide Squad does well, but the next film they need Joker or it needs to be a Sirens film.
Where did your confidence come from?
It only has 173m by the end of its 3rd week, only 72m domestically, theaters have already started to pull it out. The chance for it to break which means it has to earn like 250m even is very unlikely. Even if WB could grab some money from DVD and TV sales. It's not likely to get much profit unless it's a huge hit.
SS got a sequel because it's a hit in box office, this BoP will simply taint the team's name and cause it to be put on shelf for a long while.
Admit the fact, it's the 3rd week now.
And 250 is the lowest number. This movie took 84m+reshoots which is close to 100m, with the marketing cost it probably need more than that like 300m to break even.

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising’ Rules Wednesday Box Office – Update
Though much smaller than the $7M first day Wednesday opening of Funimation’s Dragon Ball Super: Broly prior to MLK weekend last year, My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising had enough bucks to beat the first Wednesday of Disney/20th Century Studios’ Call of the Wild which made $1.5M in second place (cume at $31.2M) and Paramount’s second Wednesday of Sonic the Hedgehog which grossed $1.1M in third place (running cume at $111M).
91 RT score! Still in the top 5!

The film had already pulled in a little over $3.3 million after debuting on Wednesday and added an estimated $1.8 million on Friday, pushing the film's cumulative total to $5.2 million after three days of release. Comparatively, Funimation's release of My Hero Academia: Two Heroes back in 2018 brought in $5.75 million over the course of about three weeks and largely an event style release. Heroes Rising received a 5-star rating from PostTack, and a 91% critics score and a 98% positive audience score on RottenTomatoes. The film is expected to deliver around $6+ million for the weekend.
Of course, the most important thing is the health of people around world dealing with Corvid-19, but I am curious how the outbreak will affect markets in the next few months. Besides China, I suspect some other places in the world have already seen people staying home rather going out and being around others that might pass on the virus.
I've seen people say Mulan is in trouble. They were planning on making gangbusters in china. But I'm sure it will make enough without china to be profitable and it will get that Chinese money eventually I'm sure. Mcu does well there so Black widow might feel it, same with F9
