I think a lot of them were looking forward to it on the contingency that it's good--and there's a lot of time between now and Thurs. night.

And there's a lot of time between Thursday night and Sunday night--during which time the fanbase will have already spoken, and will begin affecting numbers.

There's still a chance it can satisfy fans, but perhaps not general moviegoers quite so much?

Embargo has dropped, SUICIDE SQUAD reviews are popping up. Variety is mixed, saying it's still pretty much stuck in BVS land notfabio Aug 02, 09:08

THR is outright negative notfabio Aug 02, 09:09

Reviews are looking slightly better than BVS in general.. {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 09:17

Drew McWeeny likes it, gives it a B+ ! Peterlee Aug 02, 09:20

Yikes 31% as of now {nm} Mala-Droi Aug 02, 09:31

35% out of 20. {nm} Antibody Aug 02, 09:38

This is discouraging. Oh well, already bought my tickets. {nm} RollingThunder Aug 02, 09:34

RT 38% -- MC 48 .... MoS / BvS all over again. {nm} Filmstardust Aug 02, 09:56

IMDB user rating is reverse GHST3 Antibody Aug 02, 10:05

BvS had horrible reviews, got 27% on Rotten Tomatoes, and opened to $166m {nm} tomcat90 Aug 02, 10:10

Will people get burned twice by the same universe, or did they learn their lesson after last time? {nm} shadowking Aug 02, 10:15

Twice? Three time. The Killing Joke burned a good portion of the fan base just recently. {nm} medv4380 Aug 02, 14:39

Dang Variety... "Suicide Squad" ends up feeling more like the exec producers gonzo effects-saturated "Sucker Punch." {nm} Dorfman Aug 02, 10:11

IIRC, in the #1 Movie Prediction contest, the big dispute amongst the players is how many weeks SUICD remains at #1. {nm} second gary Aug 02, 10:13

I'm feeling better about only having it on top 2 weeks TwoMisfits Aug 02, 10:20

This one weird link has cured me from caring what critics say, ever again... MrZero Aug 02, 10:25

If the reviews were positive, this was going to be a slam-dunk in Opening Weekend numbers. Now it's anyone's game. ~$120M isn't crazy. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Aug 02, 11:12

I'll go out on a limb here and say that I think this one is review-proof for the OW. WAY too many people looking forward to it in key... Willroast Aug 02, 12:44
