Suicide Squad may have opened to an August-best $135.1 million at the North American box office, but bad reviews and so-so audience reaction are already taking their toll. After pulling in an impressive $65.1 million on Friday, it looked like the Warner Bros.’ tentpole, playing in 4,255 theaters, would debut to $145 million-$150 million. But traffic slowed dramatically as fans eager to boost the film fell off throughout Saturday, or 41 percent day-over-day, a far steeper drop than other successful superhero movies.
The top 12 films of the weekend, as of Sunday, August 7, are as follows:
