Suicide Squad is projected to earn another $51-$54 million this weekend.
Thursday night, the film grossed another $8.2 million, bringing its current domestic total to $179.1 million. With Sony's raunchy animated comedy
Sausage Party projected for $15-$20 million and the family-friendly
Pete's Dragon tracking for roughly $25 million,

FILM SYNOPSIS: It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do.
