Despite weak reviews ‘Suicide squad’ does brisk business at the box office

London, August8: Movie ‘Suicide Squad’ has marked a good opening for an August release despite its failure to win over critics and movie buffs.  The fantasy crime film has racked a whooping 135.1 million dollars post weekend.

Leaving behind the collections of ‘Deadpool’ and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, the David Ayer-helmed project has also done well overseas with a gross collection of 64.6 million dollars in the first three days of its release, reports The Independent.

Another fascinating fact that came out post its release is that women constituted 46 percent of first day’s audience.
