The $30 million mark was set based on the performance of recent films like “Space Jam: A New Legacy” and “Jungle Cruise,” which were released without theatrical exclusivity last month as COVID-19 cases began to surge again.

Reception has also been much stronger than the original “Suicide Squad” released in 2016. While both films had a B+ on CinemaScore, James Gunn’s sequel has a 92% Rotten Tomatoes critics score and 88% audience score, compared to 27% critics and 59% audience for its predecessor.

But despite the praise and the film’s new status as the strongest post-shutdown opening for an R-Rated film, “The Suicide Squad” has fallen below the $32.2 million Fri.-Sun.
