Margot Robbies Birds of Prey is set to open well below forecasts, with about $34 million at 4,236 North American sites, early estimates showed on Friday.
Estimates for Birds of Prey, a spinoff of 2016s Suicide Squad, had been in the $45 million to $55 million range, with Warner Bros. projecting an opening closer to $45 million.
Birds of Prey, which carries a reported $80 million price tag, touched down with $4 million on Thursday night. Reviews have been strong, earning the film a 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes a reversal from Suicide Squads 27%.
The film made $7.8 million in early openings from 51 international markets on Wednesday and Thursday. Results were impacted in Asia due to theater closures following the coronavirus outbreak.
Robbie stars as Harley Quinn in the eighth entry in the DC Extended Universe. Officially titled Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), the film also stars Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Rosie Perez, Ella Jay Basco and Ewan McGregor. The movie centers on the titular vigilante teaming up with superheroes Huntress (Winstead), Black Canary (Smollett-Bell) and Renee Montoya (Perez) to save Cassandra Cain (Basco) from the crime lord Black Mask (McGregor).

Margot Robbie was great in I Tonya.
I was shocked to learn it was the same actress that was in Suicide Squad. I Tonya turned out to be excellent. Ill see this new movie when its available to rent. Shes quite good!
She is pretty darn good as Sharon Tate in “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” as well.

I gave up on the leftward tilt of comics in the early 90s.
Not anymore, they are made for man hating feminists now too.
I saw it earlier. Its bad girl power. I thought it was fun and upbeat. Ill leave it at that.
They have great material to mine but they can not seem to get it together.
Honestly the Saturday morning cartoons had better plots.
More psychotic girl power CGI crap. Pass.
Have absolutely no interest in seeing female "warriors" whip men.
Its on YouTube.
Thank you very much
She is pretty darn good as Sharon Tate in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood as well
I didnt realize that was her!!!
Hardly Quinn is a sociopath in an co dependent relationship with another sociopath. She is not a feminist..
DC just cant seem to realize.. respect the source material...
I want to thank you for the heads up.Just watched the whole movie.Havent seen it since way back when.Loved the movie,Thanks.
Should be entertaining trash - got our granddaughter a “Daddy’s Little Monster” T-shirt after “Suicide Squad” because son was having trouble finding one small enough...
Yes, for me, the DC Batman comics when they emphasized the "Dark Knight" aspect of his character are really great. There were decades of fairly lightweight Batman comics. He gets really good when the ears of his costume get longer and more pointed. I read a lot more Marvel in my younger days and little DC aside from Batman.
