Suicide Squad continues to beat Guardians of the Galaxy

Media narrative is still that it is a colossal failure.

en.melty.ca/suicide-squad-box-office-beats-guardians-of-the-galaxy-august-record-a6459.html

Isn't the soundtrack doing well too?

Let's see the final numbers

why is the media trying to kill DC shit? its weird

#1 for the past two weeks

BUt Guardians is an all tie classic. It's success is more than just monetary.

it just really proves how dumb people really are

Because the critics and pundits that made it out to be the worst thing since Gigli can't admit that their opinions are irrelevant lest people stop listening to them.

Is it? I was looking at a USA Today paper and it gave the film a pretty good review.

This. Suicide Squad is just a glib facsimile.

27% rotten

yeah the footloose and the dance off scene are just the epitome of filmmaking

pure genius on marvel's part

Look, I like Guardians just fine, but it is the definition of a glib popcorn movie.

Because the critics are filled with nu-male faggots like this guy

26

One of my favorite films of 2016. Seen it twice and just love it. I hope to see these characters again on screen. They are WAY better than the Justice League

lol reddit tomatoes ratings

this.

>DC shit
You answered your own question.

Suicide Squad is fucking awful, did you not see it? I did. On opening night with other DC fans. Its too bad the movie is a good damn FAS abortion. Objectively.

Unfortunately the movie has had a huge and open marketing push to the Hot Topic crowd. The kind of crowd that is fucking retarded.

surprising, but it i think it is due to competition more than people liking the movie.

Ben hur is the biggest flop of the year, and no other real competition from sausage party.

Unfortunate that they are being rewarded for blatantly shilling joker and not delivering

>DC's biggest movie all year is beating a surprise success with 0 marketing
congrats guys, maybe you'll catch up to the big Marvel names like Antman soon too

Post the link where it says it's popular with niggers and spics

>surprise success with 0 marketing
Were you literally born in 2015? The goofy ad campaign and hype surrounding Guardians was fucking enormous. You couldn't turn on the TV without hearing 'hooked on a feeling' all fucking year. That movie is all anyone was talking about for at least six months prior to release.

>movie with no sense of act structure or character arcs and has the clear hands of studio interference gets bad reviews

>people act like this is surprising

You can like this movie, that's fine. There's plenty of bad or clearly butchered movies I still like despite themselves, but I don't act like the critical reception is some kind of amazing surprise.

The childish whining about this movie in particular is just so bizarre to me. I can at least understand BvS fanboys, there are people who can connect to Snyder's gonzo vision. But this thing was chainsawed to pieces and stapled back together by the studio, it's the exact opposite of artistic intent.

Do you all seriously want the critics to ignore the obvious missing scenes and bad, poorly-filmed action? I don't understand.

>Media narrative is still that it is a colossal failure.
no, the media narrative is that the film is a massive bore that did not meet expectations but that it is somewhat a financial success. not a massive success given the truly bloated marketing campaign, yet not a Ben-Hur type of bomb.

>resorting to lies

kys.
I am strongly on the DC side of things but the movie is fucking shit.

> Imaginary Competition Continues, Countless Imaginary Dead Still Being Numbered
> OP Quest for Cock Still Unslaked

It's the highest grossing movie of the 2nd Tuesday of August with a year whose least common multiple is 80. It's a runaway success, hang up your capes Marveldrones because this war is over.

I don't know what it was like for the rest of the world, but Manhattan was basically one giant Guardians advertisement. It was on every building/taxicab/and subway stop in the city. I've never seen anything like it. The idea that it was a teensy little indie flick that surprised everyone with it's success was essentially built into the marketing campaign. People that buy that shit are pretty fucking retarded. Was there any big name superheroes in it? No, but people seem to forget that MOST MOVIES DO NOT HAVE BIG NAME SUPERHEROES IN THEM.

Revisionist history is strong with Marvel fans.

he's not lying. not his fault you can't remember the GotG ad campaign. they had ads running on nearly every sporting event in the South and then some. i wouldn't say it was as large as Suicide Squad's, but i may be mistaken. does anyone have marketing figures for both films? however, GotG absolutely exceeded everyone's box office expectations while SS underwhelmed reviewers.

They're films Nintendo

>that spelling
>All time classic
fucking kek

DELTE THIS

It's a little surreal to imagine that the vast majority of people dont even register blatant problems liek terrible cuts, voiceovers, bad fight scene choreography etc etc

I feel like people just assume its a movie in theatres and therefore its all good.

Mind boggling people think the only criteria by which a movie can be judged is the subjective "did you like it"

It's going to settle between 600-700 million.

It did better than I thought. But still lackluster. These movies should have no problem hitting 1 billion but the problem is they're not good.

The marketing budget for Guardians of the Galaxy was almost double the production budget for Suicide Squad. I'm not sure if WB has released the numbers for SS' marketing, can't find any online.

all i read was
>critics SJW politically correct leanings not appeased by suicide squad movie

Mr. Collin has never actually seen porn.

well, that's because you're an imbecile.

>that handkerchief

What a bender

>movie with joker and harley quinn with cameo of batman managed to somehow beat movie about bunch of literally nobodies

Nu-males

yeah, both had huge marketing campaigns. don't know where that user gets off saying GotG had zero marketing unless he lives in a bubble. i honestly would like to know how either film would have fared without their bloated ad blitzes and marketing campaigns.

This sounds right to me. One week after Guardians was released, Ninja Turtles came out and grabbed the #1 spot for that weekend. That sort of competition just isn't there this month for Squad.

Spotted the marvel drone

What are you talking about? Suicide squad's budget was 175 million.

>except it didn't
GoG did better.

(You)

I thought Kubo was pretty damn good desu

Buuu....buuuut....800gorillions!

>DC has to heavily advertise 2 of their major characters to beat a bunch of literal whos

>but Manhattan was basically one giant Guardians advertisement. It was on every building/taxicab/and subway stop in the city. I've never seen anything like it.
Bull fucking shit. That is every single movie here you fake NY fag. You know what was recently all of Times Square? SS.

Okay. Not sure what you're getting at, but that's still significantly less than Guardians.

>Time Square is all of Manhattan.
>I'm the 'fake NY fag'

Suicide Squad
>2nd weekend drop: 67.4%

Guardians of the Galaxy

>4th weekend drop: 31.5%
>5th weekend drop: 0.7%
>6th weekend INCREASE: 33.2%

hm

that's what movies are to the general public. there is no invested interest beyond instant gratification at the cinema and water fountain banter. sucks, but that's the way it is. cinema doesn't really bring out the Mensa candidates here either.

Spotted the trump supporter.

so it beat Guardians in less time? grasping at straws nigger.

Except it hasn't you dumb fuck.

Except it has. Drop off or no drop off, it has earned more in two weeks than Guardians did in the same timeframe.

ITS LITERALLY IN THE OP YOU STUPID INBRED NIGGER

It opened way ahead but it's losing money faster, just like BvS opened 70 million ahead and ended up 3 million from GotG

Do the math, retard

I think it's unfortunate that you people support bad movies like this to begin with. You really want a DC universe, but you get the shittiest movies and actors to do it, and then you raise them and say "N-no it's f-fine!"

You deserve your garbage.

People are wondering why there is such a disagreement between film critics and fans. The answer is actually pretty simple, film critics showed up to this movie to see a film, not validate their obsession with a fucking action figure.

And yet Guardians is still a better movie.

> kys

Spotted the edgy 16 year old

>DANCE OFF BRO XD

fuck off

Gee whiz, never have I been so thoroughly and succinctly put in my place.

I agree but that has nothing to do with the topic.

>Leftist media wastes its time on shit-campaigns against movies they don't like

>mfw they could have been using these years and their media leverage to assure a long-lasting Libtard utopian state, but failed to do so

You did it to yourselves, cucks. Some of us even tried to warn you that you've all been just wasting time being so high on yourselves and your "power"

>Opened 40% ahead
>Now only 18% ahead

I-it's beating GotG!

>KILLER APP LOLOLOLOL!!!

Eat shit and die.

>Watch me quip
>Now watch me maymay

Oh please like Suicide Squads entire script isn't fuckin cringey.

>My teams shitty children's movie is better than your teams shittychildren's movie
Literally kill yourself

B-but muh chit chat gonna getcha hurt real bad!!! Puddin, batsy, cell phoooone!!!

How the fuck did she even get that cell phone? Why would they allow that in prison. Goddamn this movie was stupdid has fuck.

post yfw Guardians of the Galaxy 2 beats Justice League

of all the things to dislike in suicide squad (as much as I liked it I disliked a lot of things) thats what you dislike? jesus fucking christ you're an autistic fuck

>made less it's third weekend than guardians did

Even if I were 16 I could see how shitty Suicide Squad is.

>YAAAAAAAAAYY

This unfortunately, for whatever reason they think DC isn't doing enough virtue signalling for them and so they're trying to kill it. I can just see this fucker watching it
>omg Harley doesn't leave the Joker at the end? How sexist!
>omg not ONE interracial sex scene? how unbelievably racist!

The one dickbag prison guard that Joker kidnapped slipped it to her
This is explained over the course of about two seconds while somehow none of the other guards right next to them noticed

>I can't check box office numbers but it doesn't matter because I'm just shitposting

T. 16 year old

>SS 3rd weekend: $20,855,401
>GotG 3rd weekend: $25,115,564

OH SHIT

How much is WB paying these people to shill SS?

Everyone and their grandmother know tharlt SS has no chance of beating GotG in the box office.

>it's a "DC movie has huge record breaking opening because people are interested, but drops hard and ends up behind a literal who Marvel movie because people didn't like it" episode

Not to mention him yelling it out loud about the Joker and shit. Seriously stupid fucking scene.

Jesus fucking Christ, this thread is full of repressed fucking nerds crying.

Go do that in front of your psychologist or something you babies, nobody cares about which superhero franchise is better than the other but you guys.

>arguing on 4chanwhich Hollywood movie about people dressed like clowns is superior
>getting all but blasted when the favorites movies is getting called what it is: shit
>seriously believing there is a conspiracy trying to get DC movies to fail
>believing you are somewhat mature
I stopped calling people out for being underage when I was 23 or so but if you makes it feel less of a neet faggot you might continue.

Reminds me of Marvel. "Literally who" Is used once the majority of Marvel movies have been out for a few.

...

t. 16 year old estimates 23 sounds old enough to make him seem old and wise.

I thought it was an ok movie. Not brilliant but not the clusterfuck the media (and Sup Forums for the most part) promised.

>oh shit son a ms paint Sup Forums picture.jpg

>rebate from the British government

What? Is the UK Gov a stakeholder in Disney?

th weekend drop: 0.7%
>this happened

>I stopped calling people out for being underage when I was 23 or so
HOLEY MOLEY. Calm down there gramps! Wouldn't want to break a hip.
