    Good reviews or bad reviews, its the word of mouth that always comes down to things. Your movie might be an important art piece on feminism and women lead movies or just pure anarchic punk rock art movie, but when all things considered, it is the audience that choose whetever a movie has legs or not.

    Well...gotta credit For for listing some of the crappy Xmen movies that Fox has put out. I hope that Warner eventually corrects the ship. I'd like to see them put out some successful movies.

    Misleading percentage.

    It dropped that much comparing this Friday as a single day to last week's Thursday AND Friday. The correct drop comparison is between Friday and Friday, which is 44 down to 13.

    Blockbusters and would be blockbusters continue to cannibalize one another. Good this for SS though, it that in one week it's made more domestically than Star Trek Beyond, Ghostbusters and X-Men Apocalypse.

    According to box office mojo, it made $64,893,248 on Friday, Aug. 5, the day it officially opened. Even if there were some late Thursday early screenings mixed in, it seems very unlikely that they pulled in $20 mil.

    If CBR is gonna do these clickbait articles they could at least try and ascertain what a bad number is.
    Week to week it made a lot of money so you expect a steep drop for a single day comparison compared to a day with previews added in
    I thought we went over this last week with the friday to saturday drop nonsense
    Did Civil War flop in its 2nd week with its 74% drop?
    Did Gaurdians of the Galaxy flop? because last I checked it didn't even make 13 million on its second friday.

    The bad reviews scared me away but I'll watch it on Blu Ray. But, I thought it would max out at $450 million but it might make it to $500 million or maybe more. That's pretty good money for a mediocre movie about a bunch of super-villains. It's probably going to do well enough to merit a sequel, so I'd consider it a success. Hope Wonder Woman gets better reviews though. I won't be going to DC movies during the first weekend until I see reviews first as I don't trust them, especially when there's a review embargo. But, kudos to Suicide Squad for making some bank!

    Totally agreed. People tend to give critical reception far too much credit for the success or failure of a movie, when it's the word of mouth. Always.

    Drop percentage competition is silly, because the bigger they come the harder they fall.

    Civil War had an massive opening so of course it would drop, but it also had a 5 day opening weekend (at least in Europe it did) among other circumstances.

    Fourth biggest movie of the summer even with the horrible reviews. Good for SS. Should have dropped more considering the negativity.

    20.5M on Thursday the 4th is what Mojo reports, too.

    Excluding Ghostbusters- all those other films didn't have fans trying to shut down a website over opinions.

    Nor were their fans openly hostile to anyone who didn't care for the film.

    Plus how much hype was on this film considering the cast vs some of those others?

    That is why you see talk of the weekend drop.

    Fanboy behavior and movie hype. Remove that an you don't see these click bait ads.
