James Gunns The suicide squad didn’t exactly light up the box office on its first weekend with just $ 26.5 million from 4,002 cinemas per deadline. Of course, it was also released on HBO Max at the same time, so it wasn’t shown in theaters.
It wasn’t all bad news at the box office, there Jungle cruise declined a respectable 55% for the second weekend, bringing in $ 15.69 million, bringing the domestic total to $ 65.3 million.

Other holdovers are M. Night Shyamalan’s Oldwho raised $ 4.1 million for a total of $ 38.5 million. The thriller cost only $ 18 million. While the numbers aren’t stunning, the picture at least makes money. Black widow came 4th at $ 4 million for a total of $ 174.3 million while Space Jam 2 ($ 2.475 million / $ 65.6 million total) and Snake-eyes ($ 1.65M / $ 26M) continued their lackluster box office runs.
Surprisingly, the best holdover this weekend was the Matt Damon flick Still water, which plunged 45% on its second weekend and raised $ 2.86 million to grow its profits to $ 10 million each.
