In other Suicide Squad news, IGN has confirmed a report that additional filming has been underway for the last week. Additional shooting is a common element in major movie productions and is planned months ahead of time so this shouldn't been deemed as a sudden response to Batman v Superman.
Batman v Superman set a new record at the box office yesterday, with the largest Friday-to-Friday drop ever for a major comic-inspired film release.
According to Forbes, Warner Bros.' new comic book flick performed significantly worse on Friday, earning $15.35 million. Compared to its $81.5 million opening day, which includes the $27.7 million from Thursday's showings, Dawn of Justice dropped a whopping 81.2 percent. When compared strictly to its $53.8 million figure on March 25, the film saw a Friday-to-Friday drop of 71.5 percent.
For context, that's a greater drop than Fantastic Four's 78.7 percent decline and Watchmen's 78.4 percent second-Friday slip, but still lower than Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2's 84 percent drop and High School Musical 3's 90 percent plunge.
Batman v Superman's eight-day total stands at a whopping $224.4 million, putting it in eleventh place, right behind Iron Man 3's $232 million total and just ahead of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man Chest's $214 million figure for the same period.
Dawn of Justice is expected to make $260 million in domestic sales by the end of the weekend, after passing $500 million worldwide just a few days ago.
