Nobody really thought it'd be possible after those scathing reviews and a pretty significant second weekend drop, but Suicide Squad has managed to scrape its way to an impressive $700 million worldwide BO haul.

As a thank you to cinema-goers, director David Ayer Tweeted the following:

@SuicideSquadWB Over $700 million World Wide! #humbled #nowords #thankyou pic.twitter.com/nyKimY5w2h

The movie definitely seems to have split fans down the middle, and the majority of critics weren't impressed - but there's obviously still a loyal fanbase there. Personally I had some major issues with Suicide Squad, but I liked enough about it to want it to succeed, and I'm happy that a sequel now seems very likely.

What do you guys think?
