Patrick Schwarzenegger is sad over Suicide Squad's reviews
Quote:
"Super sad about these Suicide Squad reviews I'm reading ������," Patrick recently tweeted about the new film. "I'm def gonna go see it still, was just sad about what I was reading ahead of it"
As long as the fans are happy, that's all that really matters.
The fans have nothing to do with movie reviews, though. And critics aren't writing bad reviews to make fans angry; they're simply reporting their opinion.
Suicide Squad got off to a strong start last night, pulling in $20.5 million from Thursday night preview screenings nearly doubling the previous August record of $11.2 million set by Guardians of the Galaxy back in 2014 before it opened with $94.3 million, the current August opening weekend record. Suicide Squad screenings started at approximately 6 PM and took place in 3,700+ locations. The total includes IMAX screenings which grossed $2.4m.
Suicide Squad's Thursday preview number is the 13th largest of all-time (including midnight's)*, just ahead of The Hunger Games ($19.7m from midnight screenings at ~2,500 locations) and just behind Man of Steel ($21m / $9m from midnight screenings and $12m from Thursday night). Considering the comparisons made to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in our weekend preview below it's best we mention Batman v Superman brought in $27.7 million from Thursday previews back in March before opening with $166 million.
It doesn't matter what critics have to say, it will still end up doing over $140+ this weekend in the US alone.
