>DC's Suicide Squad may have not been a hit with critics, but audiences seemed to love it as it went on to gross over $700 million worldwide. The profit a movie studio makes from a blockbuster depends on a variety of things. Deadline Hollywood has studied the numbers from industry insiders to find out the exact profit that Suicide Squad made.
>The film ended up grossing a whopping $325 million domestic and $745 million worldwide. From that, the studio will pocket $329.50 million. In addition, the movie earned the studio another $288.80 million from Home Entertainment and Television Revenue. This brings Suicide Squad on overall revenue of $618.30 million.
>How much did the film cost? It had a production cost of $175 million, and another $156 million was spent on marketing. Add in $40 million from video release and another $88.85 million in fees to the actors and producers. Suicide Squad had total cost of $459.85 million. In comparison, Batman v Superman cost the studio $575 millon and Guardians of the Galaxy cost Disney $520.28 million.
>Using basic subtraction, Deadline came up with the total profit of Suicide Squad: $158.95 million. That means the movie is the most profitable film in the DCEU.
>there are people who honestly believe DC is somehow flopping and failing
Kek at the marlelfag who deleted his comment. Name a bigger just than the MCU right now
Protip: you cant
Jacob Ross
And this was without China. Not bad.
Austin Gonzalez
How are we so lucky to be graced with his birth lads?
Easton Martin
I understand he didn't direct SS but point remains
Cooper Moore
Let's be real here. This was because of Harley Quinn. Now imagine the numbers Gotham City Sirens will do. Teen and college girls will be going in packs.
Jace Robinson
I think he was the producer though.
Carson Watson
HOL UP
...you sayin we sum kinda....Academy Award winning, profitable, Success Squad?

HOLY SHIT, spit out my fucking drink. Kevin Fagie BTFO
Cooper Green
I'm sorry to say that I contributed to this movie's profits. It was a real fucking heap of shit that I paid to watch.
Colton Garcia
reminder that dcucks are black people and hispanics
>Also per PostTrak, the combination of African American and Hispanic moviegoers made up a huge 41% of the audience with both audiences giving the film a whopping 81% positive score.
>Suicide Squad has a 73% total positive score
Dylan White
>SUICIDE SQUAD Is The DCEU's Most Profitable Film Ever Oh for fuck's sake... This better not give WB any ideas, because I actually want this DC movie universe thing to work, and they're fucking it up so far.
Nicholas Russell
its working just fine retard, can you read?
Jose Bell
Making bank and winning awards, sounds like its working to me.
Dominic Long

did you not hear the justice league trailer music?
Jeremiah Sanchez
>It had a production cost of $175 million >Deadline came up with the total profit of Suicide Squad: $158.95 million.
I have never understood this manner of calculating profit.
Are the production costs not considered profit for those people who worked on the project and were paid for it? For instance the production costs includes the actor's wages for appearing in the movie. For the actor this is profit. Profit from the movie.
Chase Russell
I don't care whether it's doing financially well, I want it to actually be good. I'm selfish like that.
Cooper Russell
>DC reacts to BvS shitstorm by making SS closer to MCU in tone >ends up being its most profitable movie >DCucks fail to recognize the irony
Adrian Rogers
>DC decides to give the Marvel approach of pandering to the lowest common denominator a shot >they do it more successfully than Marvel on their very first try Really makes you think.
Austin Gonzalez
MCUcks BTFO again top fucking kek
Owen Martinez
So what you're saying is DC beat Marvel at their own game? on their first try.
Justin Ortiz
apparently you don't seem to realize that being their most profitable movie doesn't mean that they make more than movies like avengers
Jaxon Adams
>MCU tears taste damn good...
David Brooks
Should've put a jar of piss in, then it would have made even more money
Sebastian Harris
>most profitable movie >barely makes more than doctor strange
Civil War numbers will be coming up soon
suicide squad was #10 for most profitable of 2016 and doctor strange was #11
batman v superman was #13
Deadpool will probably be #1 for all of 2016
Noah Hill
>i'm fucking retarded and thought that it was more profitable than any marvel movie >uhh uhh uhh >oscars >heh memes
Matthew Davis
where is that Doctor strange visual effects oscar at bro?
Luis Diaz
The impact of this movie was surreal.
Every underaged teen's inner slut was brought out by Harley Quinn. Not to mention that most of them loved the abusive part of Joker.
Literally everyone and their grandmas were Harley Quinn on Halloween.
The songs/soundtrack were like on an infinite loop during and after it's release.
It anything it just proves that critics and normies dont mesh well this [current year]
Ayden Gonzalez
>they do it more successfully
Profit was never mentioned once by that user retard
Jeremiah Torres
>The profits of DCs most successful movie aren't even enough to fund another movie
Really activates my kyber crystal.
Wyatt Fisher
Well I am sure a lot of people would pay to see Margot in a slutty costume
Gavin Cooper
>retard doesn't konw that the OPs post is FUCKING FROM DEADLINE

fucking retard
Isaac Sullivan
>mfw squad 2
Im ready
Jordan Rogers
Dont move goalposts cuz ur getting shamed. The post you were replying to said DC did it more successfully. Without even really trying. how so? it won them an oscar. Thus the comment wasnt false in anyway.
Admit it and stop embarrassing yourself marveldrone.
Ethan Robinson
Your million profit will last for couple years in Hollywood and your piece of shit art will be remember as a piece of shit eternity.
Dylan Harris
Imagine being this anally ravaged holy shit!!
Luke Price
That really is why though, isn't it? I don't know that I've ever been more attracted to anyone, ever, than I am to Margot Robbie in that costume. I've spent so much precious time looking at stills of her in the movie.
Parker Myers
Will there be a sequel?
Justin Nelson
>over double the profit of DC's most profitable film ever
Landon Reyes
>casting 3 white females as lead this 2017 Needs a POC or a borderline whitey.
Sebastian Long
and an Academy Award at that!!!!
Jayden Price
Dude that's like basic math. That's the profit left after you subtract every expense. The making of the movie cost is not the only expense. Expenses are not profit, you can't use that money because it is already used.
Josiah Diaz
>people still deny the power of meme marketing Just look at deadpool as another example MEMES FUCKING SELL
Chase Phillips
The actors salary was already on the budget of the movie, it didn't matter how much the movie made, they always get paid. In their bank balance their wage sure is a profit, an active for their services, but in the studio's bank balance wages are a passive, so an expense.
Henry Howard
How will AVClub ever recover?! Seriously, they must be slitting their wrists as we speak! Not even funposting, those kids were the most legitimately triggered as you could get.

N-No! this can't be right! Marvel bros told me that SS needed 999 sextillion dollars to break even for just marketing alone!
Julian Morris
>barely makes more than doctor strange Dr. Strange had a china release where SS couldn't have released. Dr Strange had a head with roller skates and SS beat it running sandals

Jordan Allen
Top Kek, savage
Ethan Hall
I unironically enjoyed watching this movie, it wasnt great but i'd rate it a 7/10
Jason Young
this, i had a good time desu senpai
John King
But the studio is made up of the people who got paid to work on the movie.
I feel like this is more of the bullshit "corporations are considered a person on their own" type of logic.
Charles Howard
mcu on suicide watch
Justin Gray

Jace Sanders
Is this a surprise? Everyone already knew it was more successful than MoS and BvS
Connor Young
saw the extended version the other day and i expected much worse. it's enjoyable and stupid. just turn your brain off stupid.
Matthew Jenkins
you mean dick?
Liam Reed
OwO whats this
wow, what a big profit you have!
Henry Davis

Licensing all those songs
Charles Adams
its not their songs tho...
Liam Watson
Buying licenses to all those songs then, I said it wrong
Gabriel Torres

Mason Kelly
>makes the same money without China >market by market SS obliterates Doctor Strage >success!
James Cook
It wasn't good. It wasn't good in any sensible way. I can't think about 1 second of the movie which is not horrible illogical mess. Last 30 minutes were power rangers at their best. Marvel shit is simple, but at least it tries to be comprehensive. Ayer should hang himself after that disgrace, he failed as a director on a basic technical level.
Brody Lopez
>tfw I remember the MCUcks saying that SS needed 1billion gojira dollars just to break even.
>$288.80 million from Home Entertainment and Television Revenue Literally all DCEU movies are absolute hits in video sales. It's amazing. They have three out three hits so far with BvS outgrossing Civil War in that market. The power of making movies people still remember when the bluray comes out I guess
Cooper Richardson
holy shit...wtf is this shit? whats wrong with people? Is this what passes for "credible" reporting? Denofgeek should be getting panned for shit like this
Isaac Mitchell
>but audiences seemed to love it as it went on to gross over $700 million worldwide.
I'm sure they went in loving the idea of enjoying the movie then left with regret.
Eli Anderson
It's based on a hollywood reporter piece, based on an ((((anonymous source)))). Just like when they said that SS had gone through massive reshoots and Ayer confirmed they were photography reshoots scheduled in advance. They also said WB was freaking out because the JL trailer was a mess and it has already BTFO GotG2 trailer in two days. Smear campaign
Oliver Rodriguez

We're living in real time fucken weird alternate timeline when pic related was the best actor in a movie.

This, I like marvel shills getting BTFO but I wish BvS was the objectively succesful movie. They deserved the oscar though
Henry Gonzalez
nice falseflagging MCUcks
keep trying
Julian Walker
If that were true, word of mouth would have killed the movie's momentum.
Sorry, mouseketeer. At least you have that oscar--OH WAIT.
Kevin King
Nah. I loved MoS and BvS extended. Suicide Squad is just fucking awful
Blake Lee
>he's still going
You are fooling any Pajeet. Your disguise is flimsy as fuck and its embarrassing

This is obnoxious and stupid, you're embarrassing for DC fans in this board and the reason we get mocked.
