They should've done a harley solo mess.

Or a Harley n Ivy team up like in the new cartoon.

Dc always gets it wrong when they toss the characters together.

It basically was a Harley solo movie... It was misleading to call it birds of prey bc the group really didn't do anything to the end of the movie

I'm still going to see it tonight or tomorrow. And this would've been a better sell if it was Gotham Sirens liked they planned with Harley, Ivy and Catwoman.  Nobody cared about the others.

The budget is only 80 million though, by the end of the worldwide run they should make the money back or break even.

It was good but it def could have been BETTER

There was a huge opportunity to bring Poison Ivy in

It should have been her to break Harley out of prison at the end of Suicide Squad

It really irked me to hear Margot talk about deciding the direction

Could have been Harley, Ivy and Catwoman but went with Birds of Prey because nobody really knows them  :uhh:

6.8/10 on IMBD and 80% on RT


Doesn't quite read critical acclaim. Cheers to anyone that enjoyed it. I enjoyed it for what it was but I regret paying for it. Would've been better if it was just sent to Netflix.

It doesn't matter what yall consider. Its what the industry says.

Production costs!

And what about the 100s of million that went into the global promotion of this mess?

Also a flop first week means theaters will drop the amount of screenings a week which means even less money in upcoming weeks.

They dont factor promo into the equation when it comes to budget 

Thats why its always said movies need to make twice the amount it cost to produce it

This isnt getting a sequel. They'll either reboot the mess or never touch this story gain :dead:

No they don't its usually half the budget production. So that's like 120 - 125 million. Still in good standing after the 1st weekend.

QuoteTwo years ago, the cost had crept up to $175 million globally. Now, studios say it has hit the $200 million mark per picture -- a 33 percent increase from the $150 million spent in 2007 on the first Transformers.
