It won't be profitable until Snyder and Ayer offer blood sacrifices at the Altar of Nolan.

I'd say they're close to break even.

Well deserved run for Squad with pretty good drops. So much for hopes and predictions of bad word of mouth.
Stay beaten, doll face.

So, can someone update me on whether the latest Suicide Squad number are:
1) Awful. See? DC has no idea what they're doing.
2) Great. See? DC haters were wrong.
3) Fine.

About what WB wanted out of it.
The scene in the bar during SS is how people think WB execs are acting right now, getting drunk and saying they almost pulled it off.

Need a bank account to putup 700M in cash...wait...critics freeze DC accounts in banks...imma take a disney locker!1/2
Suicide Squad will make more than Man of Steel domestic, and maybe more than Man of Steel worldwide. Man of Steel made $63M in China. Suicide Squad will not be allowed a Chinese release.

Warner, look at this money you're making with a critical flop and decent WOM. Just imagine the returns with great reviews and amazing word of mouth. Get it together WB.

YOU LIE
I heard that the break even point for Justice League is the same as the original X-Box's. Even Avatar cash would be the biggest flop of all time.
DC gonna own that shit!
It will lose billions like the XBOX and tank WB.
Disney will buy it for pennies on the dollar.

My highly confidential sources around POTUS which cannot be named at the moment are revealing that WB is F.O.A.T, infact it is not making money at all...it is making Milk..because money is paper and milk is calcium. And if you drink milk you will get shock and die at point.so basically it is nothing than a walking dead around its grave!
Concept ain't what he's talking about, it's execution. Illumination films have bland designs and animation, and the scripts are formulaic and unremarkable.
At this point, after LOVING the DK trilogy and MOS, I was extremely let down by BvS and SS. I don't want more of that.

An oscar level batman film from Affleck is a guaranteed Billion plus, get on that shit Quick WB.
BvS should have been a guaranteed billion plus.
Who knows how bad this situation can get....

Totally called Ben-Hur becoming Bomba-Hur. Like someone said, it looked like the typical Sony remake of an old classic that nobody wanted (even though it's Paramount/MGM's baby). And Kubo really, really, deserved better. 
Meanwhile, Nitrogen Studios is gonna make out like a damned bandit on Sausage Party's gross, despite screwing a huge chunk of their animators over in the process of making the film. And SS holding ground at the box office despite reviews (unlike BvS, which continued to slump further) is probably going to embolden WB in trying to "salvage" future DCEU films in the same way they "salvaged" SS. Meh.

So more fucking over the director's original vision and edits by companies that make trailers?

Good for SS, I really enjoyed the movie, I'm glad it's doing well.
It's the best biblical horror movie I have seen.
I mean, Jigsaw and the Hostel films were tryhards compared with that whip with the blades that chop off stuff from Jesus's sides. That was sick.
...
What do you mean it was a biblical movie?
I don't know, I haven't watched that. What I know is that SS/DCU haters have been eager to ensure that the word of mouth would be bad and the movie would tank after its fantastic opening, denying that evidence in the real world stated that people were actually enjoying the movie all over. I'm not even talking about critics here.
Turns out they were wrong and the movie is still going strong, as everyone who went to the theater instead of only reading and participating in the circlejerk fanboy agenda would've guessed.

2016 has been so rough for blockbusters that 67% and 54% drops in 2nd and 3rd week is seen as "pretty good."
It's been a rough year for all studios, but I think it's time to start seriously worrying about the future of Paramount. What do they even have that would keep the lights on for the next few years?
You're being pretty silly. Suicide Squad's legs still aren't really any good. They're just not as bad as they looked like they were going to be a couple weeks ago. It's holding worse than Man of Steel, but better than Batman v Superman. More or less about as well as X-Men Origins: Wolverine or X-Men: Apocalypse.

uh it does have bad word of mouth lol... it doesnt have to drop 65 plus every week for that to be true.

Dark of the Moon's legs are kind of misleading. It opened on a Wednesday, so that greatly skews its opening weekend. It entered the weekend with $64m already in the bank, making its 2nd weekend drop look much more impressive than it really was.
It was at $162m after its 1st weekend and finished with $352m.
By the same token, you could look at The Amazing Spider-Man's $62m opening weekend and call its domestic total of $262m a good run, but it's pretty dishonest.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
One week the title of these threads is going actually going to make me have a stroke and you better believe my lawyer already has xaosslug on speed dial.
Wonder where GB will crawl to now its past 200. The mighty 244 take of its prequel Pixels is comfortably out of shot though.

Hmm... I would have liked to see Kubo make around 15 million opening weekend, more in line with how Coraline opened. Even so, Kubo should have great word of mouth and there are still the international markets to consider. I think that Kubo will be able to make a nice profit in the end and that's even before DVD and Blu-ray begin.
Oh well, if nothing else I can still say that Kubo and the Two Strings is bigger than Ben Hur.
