After "Suicide Squad" became one of the most critically absorbed films of the year, many believe that it did not save Warner Bros. from the apparent disappointment of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." The point, however, was clearly alleviated when the numbers came in for the anti-hero flick.
Being one of the main blockbuster hits that this year has slated, "Suicide Squad" did not exactly fail in the global box office. The David Ayer-directed film raked in a whole lot more than what the doubtful movie goers expected from it.
According to We Got This Covered, "Suicide Squad" allegedly surpassed the $500 million ceiling for the worldwide box office around two weeks ago, with the numbers landing at $672.9 million. All throughout, the movie is estimated to end at approximately $700 to $730 million once done.
It was said that "Suicide Squad" did not quite stomp past the earnings of its relative film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" at least domestically, but is already labelled to have gone beyond "Man of Steel" that gathered $291 million within the North American territories. Zack Snyder's previous film was said to have ended at $330.36 million, much farther away from Ayer's.
As per Digital Spy, "Suicide Squad" allegedly toppled off other superhero movies on top 100 grossing films of all time, such as "Thor: The Dark World." Despite such achievement, the movie is still unable to go past the other Marvel hits such as "Iron Man 3," "The Avengers" and "Avengers: Age of Ultron."
"Suicide Squad" revolves around the mission of a group of villains that were formed together by the government to take on impending world-threatening danger. After the film's events, a potential sequel could come forth, but is yet to be confirmed.
