Revision | The Suicide Squad – James Gunn delivers a masterpiece

According to Deadline, “The Suicide Squad” could make at least $ 70 million in its first weekend.

Projections indicate that the film is expected to gross US $ 30 million in the United States alone, which will include approximately 4,000 theaters open for release.

In 2016, the previous film had a worldwide opening of $ 133.6 million and ended the runtime with $ 746.8 million.

Considering the pandemic and the low number of operating rooms around the planet, it is unlikely that James Gunn’s film could surpass David Ayer’s feature film mark.

However, if ‘The Suicide Squad’ manages to hit the $ 70 million planned for the first three days, that would be cause for celebration.

Still, the concurrent debut in the HBO Max catalog can be a challenge for the adaptation’s box office.

“Welcome to Hell – also known as Bell Reve, the prison with the highest death rate in the United States. Where are the worst super villains kept and where are they desperate to escape – even joining the super secret and super dubious Task Force X. Today’s Suicide Mission? Assemble a group of crooks, including Bloodthirsty, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Rat Slayer 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Dart, and everyone’s favorite psychopath, Harlequin. So arm them by force and throw them (literally) on the distant island filled with enemies of Corto Maltese.

Some names reprise their roles from the previous film, like Viola Davis (Amanda Waller), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang) and Joel Kinnaman (Rick Flag).

New arrivals include Idris Elba, Taika Waititi, Alice Braga and Michael Rooker, Nathan Fillion, Pete Davidson, Flula Borg, Sean Gunn and Mayling Ng.
