"Suicide Squad" becomes the highest-grossing R-rated film in North America in its first week

According to foreign media Deadline, DC's new R-rated film "The Suicide Squad" successfully won the title of the highest-grossing R-rated film in North America in its first week, but it was still lower than Warner's expectations, exceeding "Mortal Kombat"'s 23.3 million US dollars, creating the highest-grossing R-rated movie in North America in its first weekend during the epidemic.

The Suicide Squad's first weekend North American box office grossed $26.5 million (4,002 theaters), which was lower than expected (Warner expected $30 million, while the industry expected slightly higher, up to $40 million), but still the highest opening for an R-rated movie in North America during the pandemic. The film was also released on streaming media HBO Max, and was released in advance on Thursday night, in sync with the theater advance screenings. Warner has not yet reported the film's streaming media revenue.

The Suicide Squad is currently the highest-grossing film in Russia, with $4.2 million, 16% ahead of Black Widow and 30% ahead of Birds of Prey. It fell 32% in the UK, and fell behind the Korean film Escape from Mogadishu in South Korea with $2.6 million, but was 9% higher than Wonder Woman 1984 and 28% higher than Birds of Prey.

"The Suicide Squad" has a Rotten Tomatoes freshness rating of 92%, earning it a fresh certification. Its average score on M.com is 76 points, and its Douban score is 8.2 points.
