Given the situation, one would have expected Virat Kohli & Co. to chase down the target, but that was not to be.

The Suicide Squad Tops The Box Office With Disappointing Debut
There was no other outcome than The Suicide Squad topping the box office, and it was guaranteed to completely decimate the pandemic-era records for an R-rated movie, the only question was how high it could realistically fly. At the beginning of the week, projections were touting a debut that could end up as high as $40 million, but the truth is a lot more disappointing.
James Gunn’s R-rated comic book actioner hauled in an estimated $26.5 million, still the highest total for an adult-orientated film since COVID-19 locked the industry in its vice grip, but even the lower end of estimates were tracking for at least $30 million. A combination of Gunn’s popularity from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and rave reviews had analysts hoping for the best, but there’s already very little chance the $185 million blockbuster is going to be profitable.
Eventually business will return to normal, but the longer this goes on, the further away that day seems to get. Some good news, though, is that Black Widow surpassed Fast & Furious 9 to become the highest-grossing domestic release in close to a year and a half, having now passed $174 million. Jungle Cruise is also holding well, with last week’s winner dropping a so-so 55% to add another $15 million, a decent decline when Space Jam: A New Legacy and the MCU’s Phase Four opener each took a hit of almost 70%.
An R-rated effort like The Suicide Squad hauling in $26.5 million in times like these is a good start given the circumstances, but the studio would have been hoping for a much higher number, and it’s only going to spend a single week at the summit with Ryan Reynolds’ Free Guy hitting theaters this coming Friday.

Marvel Reportedly Wants Fox And MCU X-Men To Team Up
Fox’s X-Men franchise spanned thirteen movies, but two crossovers in particular stand out as the best by far. The first came in Matthew Vaughn’s First Class when Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine tells James McAvoy’s Charles Xavier and Michael Fassbender’s Eric Lehnsherr to go f*ck themselves, and the second happened in Deadpool 2 when we see the entire rebooted cast in the background of the X-Mansion after Wade Wilson complains about not having the budget to include the team.
Now that the mutants are being rebooted and introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Loki blowing the doors to the multiverse off their hinges, we could be looking at all sorts of interactions between the past, present and future of superhero cinema that had seemed impossible as recently as a couple of years ago.
Behind The Scenes Photos From X-Men: Days Of Future Past That Every Fan Should See

We’re now hearing from our sources – the same ones who told us Percy Jackson was being rebooted as a streaming series long before it was announced for Disney Plus – that one day we could see the MCU and Fox’s X-Men fighting side-by-side, in what would easily be one of the biggest slices of fan service in recorded history.
Of course, it’s by no means a guarantee, and there’d be an awful lot of negotiation and discussion required before it comes anywhere close to happening, but it’d be a hell of a way to showcase the sheer scale of the MCU’s infinite realities, and would send the fans into meltdown if it were to see it happen in whatever the next Avengers-level event turns out to be. Then again, Kevin Feige hardly makes it sound as though the X-Men are arriving imminently, so this one could be a ways off yet.
