DC's Suicide Squad may have not been a hit with critics, but audiences seemed to love it as it went on to gross over $700 million worldwide. The profit a movie studio makes from a blockbuster depends on a variety of things. Deadline Hollywood has studied the numbers from industry insiders to find out the exact profit that Suicide Squad made. 

The film ended up grossing a whopping $325 million domestic and $745 million worldwide. From that, the studio will pocket $329.50 million. In addition, the movie earned the studio another $288.80 million from Home Entertainment and Television Revenue. This brings Suicide Squad on overall revenue of $618.30 million

How much did the film cost? It had a production cost of $175 million, and another $156 million was spent on marketing. Add in $40 million from video release and another $88.85 million in fees to the actors and producers. Suicide Squad had total cost of $459.85 million. In comparison, Batman v Superman cost the studio $575 millon and Guardians of the Galaxy cost Disney $520.28 million

Using basic subtraction, Deadline came up with the total profit of Suicide Squad$158.95 million. That means the movie is the most profitable film in the DCEU.
