'Suicide Squad' Smashes August Box Office Record

Suicide Squad, DC's second live-action offering of 2016 following March's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, got a critical lambasting as its premiere drew near last week. And while it's still got a 26 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it's also now in possession of a big box office record.

Yup: Suicide Squad boasts the biggest August opening weekend of all time with $135.1 million in the U.S. alone. ($267.1 million worldwide.)
