Streaming Might Have Hurt The Suicide Squad at the Box Office – IGN The Fix: Entertainment

IGN published this video item, entitled “Streaming Might Have Hurt The Suicide Squad at the Box Office – IGN The Fix: Entertainment” – below is their description.

The antihero action flick by James Gunn, The Suicide Squad, failed to live up to expectations over the weekend, netting the movie 26.5 million in theaters. While The Suicide Squad failed to live up to WB and DC’s expectations stateside, it raked in 35 million overseas in 71 markets, a foreign tally of 45.7 million, netting The Suicide Squad 72.2 million globally. With such a star-studded cast in John Cena, Idris Elba, Margot Robbie and many others, you’d expect the DCEU flick to put up bigger numbers. And so did WB – they predicted The Suicide Squad would debut to 30 million at the box office over the weekend in US theaters. With HBO Max and Disney Plus continuing to keep that in mind, we’ll likely continue to see these two studios utilize the day-and-date release of major films, similar to James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. In other entertainment news, Adult Swim is giving us an hour-long finale for Rick and Morty season 5. Adult Swim announced that we’ll be getting the double-loaded finale Sunday, September 5th at 11pm Eastern. In the clip, we see Rick giving a spin to the ‘wheel of things better than Morty’ – if you’ve been keeping up with season 5, Morty and Rick’s relationship has been increasingly distant, with Rick finding himself bonding with other members of the family. Rick and Morty season 5 episode 8 really brought some canonical events to the forefront and teased some interesting things for the future of the Rick and Morty series. And finally, we got a trailer for Netflix’s Midnight Mass, a new series from the man who brought us The Haunting of Hill House.
