Not that I wouldn't have bought them for cheap but they never seem to pop up for a discount. Now I'm glad A shame it didn't work for you and the wife. It will be interesting to see what comes of this in the end, since we are only four (4) full days into its release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artboy99 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I saw it tonight, in an absolutely dead theater. Considering this film has only been out for 3 days I was shocked to see it with less than a dozen other people. I thought I was going to hate it but to my surprise I didn't. It was fun and quirky which was what they were going for. Harley's fight scenes were well done, I thought the hyena was great. Not much else to say. 6/10 ADAMANTIUM and aardvark88 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatsby77 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Hey - on the plus side, BoP's $33.0 million is ~9% more than John Carter's $30.1 million opening. So it could rock $85-$90 million domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) Are they gonna re-title "The Suicide Squad", too, before it sucks at the BO maybe...? Edited February 11, 2020 by theCapraAegagrus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know in my family "circle" the only Harley Quinn fan is my brothers 10 year old daughter. The R rated movie means she won't be seeing it. The character isn't even on my 13 year old's radar. She is more of a "Cursed Pirate Girl" and Anime fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@therealsilvermane Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Also, there was ZERO momentum or excitement from Suicide Squad for any kind of "spinoff." While Harley Quinn was arguably the best thing from that movie, that still wasn't saying much. While the movie did respectable numbers, it was still viewed as a failure. With the R-rating, it should be no surprise that audiences didn't show up for this. Harley Quinn is popular, but she's no Joker or Deadpool. I think what was needed in the trailers (as I haven't seen the movie), was more costumed characters. Give us something to look forward to other than just seeing Margot Robbie in white makeup and a baseball bat again. Huntress in a close to comic book costume perhaps. A more colorfully costumed villain, perhaps would have been better. Maybe Huntress should have been the antagonist in a flip the -script kind of thing with a true villain pulling the strings, but now I'm talking story. The trailers needed to show us how Harley's movie was going to be different from Suicide Squad, but it looked like more of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of the same? But without, ya' know: Batman The Joker Will Smith Amanda Waller Or (for us comics fans): Oracle. How you gonna' have a BoP movie without one of the team's most critical characters?
