TUESDAY Movie Roundup...8/30/2016

 ...oh GET OVER YOURSELF MISTER CLOCK KING SIR...

(sigh) Anyways, how are ya Pepe?

Let's see how they did:

They kept the #2 spot over the weekend, with another $12.2 million in the bank from the States. That puts the domestic total at over $284 million. Outside the U.S., it's made $353.7 million (thanks in no small part to the United Kingdom ($36.1), Brazil ($28.3 million...and I wonder if the Olympics had anything to do with that...hmmmm...) Mexico ($25.5), Australia ($23 million) and Russia - CIS (with a cool $22.6)). Bulgaria ponied up $613,388, Slovenia donated $221,219 and even Iceland got into it (do they actually have theaters there? Apparently, they do.) for $452,031. All this adds up to more than $637.7 million worldwide.

Ya damn right! But lets put some perspective on this. 

Yes - Suicide Squad is still in third place worldwide among all the DCEU films ...but only by less than $31 million. 

Now let's look at the calendar: 

Man of Steel was in theaters for 98 days when it finally reached just over $668 million. Suicide Squad has been out for only 25. That's almost a quarter the number of days. In other words, while I don't honestly think Suicide Squad will be in theaters that long, it would certainly make more than Man of Steel if it did.

Now let's compare apples to pears.

X-Men: Apocalypse made $544.6 million worldwide in 63 days. 

You heard me John. 

Suicide Squad has made more worldwide in 25 days than X-M: A made...in it's entire run!!!

Do you need to take a knee Mark? I know I do.

In fact, the only two X-Men franchise films Suicide Squad hasn't beat (yet, anyways) are X-Men: Days of Future Past...

...and this guy.

Holy Hannah!

Now let's compare apples to apple pie.

Suicide Squad (remember them..? They're who we're talking about here) has made $637.7 million worldwide so far.

According to Box Office Mojo (which is where I'm getting all this data from), Suicide Squad has made more than...

• The Incredible Hulk (to no one's surprise)
• Captain America: The First Avenger
• Thor
• Ant-Man
• Iron Man
• and Iron Man 2

It's also just $7 million away from beating Thor: The Dark World...and this is a film nobody even likes?

W...T...F...?

I'm gonna go have dinner now Pepe...'cause that there popcorn's lookin' mighty tasty. Have a good week!
