Suicide Squad got a hard time by the critics, but it's nothing sort of a success where box office is concerned. Taking in a massive opening week when it was released. While it may experience a large drop like
Dawn of Justice did back in in March, it's still the Summer's biggest movie. Marvel TV head, Jeph Loeb, was asked about Suicide Squad by the
Hollywood Reporter and he had this to say.
"
The DC characters which I know and I love and have had a lot of fun writing and being a part of are really strong, wonderful characters," he says. "
And I think it's a little early for us to determine the success of Suicide Squad. At the moment, I'm very happy that it's opened to $150 million, that is an accomplishment. We'll see what happens afterwards".
When he was asked about the Marvel VS DC argument, he said this: "
No. It's funny, we actually get asked that a lot," Loeb told
THR "The truth is, they do what they do and we do what we do. I tend to sort of think about it like I'm not sure that people that make medical shows look at other medical shows and go, 'Why is my medical show better than this?".
