For the weekend of August 6-8, 2021, The Suicide Squad had great reviews and no other wide releases as its competition, and yet the $26.5 million opening can't be seen as anything but disappointing. Perhaps because HBOMax subscribers could see it for free, or the R-rating, but mostly the growing COVID numbers, the Delta variant fears, and the US cases/deaths numbers back to February levels have to be factors in the box office numbers overall. It makes me wonder if some upcoming releases are going to be postponed again.
