Hopefully it does modestly at the box office. If a modest hit like Shazam could get a sequel, then this could and if it does hopefully they leave Harley out this time and focus on The Birds Of Prey. Give Harley The Gotham City Sirens instead. If it doesn't get a sequel, if they do a Green Arrow movie, put Jurnee Smollett-Bell's Black Canary in it, she was great in the movie, and give her a better costume.

@dracula

Even if it makes 200 mil (more or less) the movie won’t be getting a sequel.

Not trying to shit on your parade but it will make about 100 million less than Shazam.

@dracula - It seems it's more of a modest disappointment financially. Makes me wonder how Suicide Squad 1.5 will do now.

@regularmovieguy - yeah probably, the movie isn't anything amazing, but there was a lot of good in the movie, plus it's failure could hurt chances of other lessor known heroes getting films.

Hopefully this doesn't kill the chance of seeing characters like Blue Beetle, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Zatanna and others getting films

@Feralwookiee - Well with James Gunn behind it, it will for sure do better, some people will watch it just for him

@Feralwookiee - Suicide Squad will do well. An R rated Harley Quinn move co starring characters that the GA didn’t know about and that Comic book fans did my recognize was never ever going to succeed.
This film is an enigma.

The film was entertaining. Wasn't looking for anything spectacular and walked away enjoying another piece to the DC movie universe. It's a shame the numbers aren't matching because you can tell everyone had fun making the film. I will continue to be an advocate for DC trying new things, because they can and they should, success or failure. The fans that give the culture a bad wrap cannot continue to control the narrative of the type of product DC puts out or it defeats the purpose of each director being able to tell their story with these characters their own way.

This film is what happens when WB abandons their most successful DC franchise...in fact the MOST successful solo superhero film franchise ever made just so they can try and fail at copying Marvel. When will this studio learn...when they make pseudo-realistic movies like the Dark Knight, Man of Steel and now Joker, they reap rewards and even OSCAR recognition. Instead we get awful films like Birds of Prey, Batman V Superman, and Suicide Squad, and overrated garbage like Aquaman and Shazam. Even Wonder Woman is vastly overrated and the sequel looks terrible.

Umless and until this studio goes back to the superhero universe Nolan created...they will comtinue to FAIL!

@Forthas

MOS didn’t get any Oscar love and was the beginning of the end of the DCEU.

I don’t think it’s a bad movie but it’s not a good movie either. The destruction porn at the end was way too much, and I don’t think Nolan was as involved in the movie production as you think.

@Forthas - Nolan didn't create a superhero universe, he created a self-contained Batman trilogy. He never intended for it to lead onto anything else.
