Suicide Squad Shatters August Record With 135 Million
Proving fan anticipation trumps critical disdain, audiences turned out in record numbers to catch Suicide Squad, leading the DC Comics flick to the highest August opening in history with an estimated 135.1 million. The film's massive debut also marks the biggest opening weekend of Will Smith's career and his first 100 million+ opener, blasting past the 77.2 million gross of I Am Legend's first weekend in 2007.
