Pictures by [Joey Nolfi / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Joey Nolfi / Entertainment Weekly Aug 7, 2016 7:15 PM UTC Proving fan anticipation trumps critical disdain, audiences turned out in record numbers to catch _Suicide Squad_, leading the DC Comics flick to the highest August opening in history with an estimated $135.1 million. The film’s massive debut also marks the biggest opening weekend of Will Smith’s career (and his first $100 million+ opener), blasting past the $77.2 million gross of _I Am Legend_’s first weekend in 2007. _Suicide Squad_’s $135.1 million trumps the $94.3 million previous August champ, _Guardians of the Galaxy_, grossed in 2014\. The $175 million David Ayer-directed film, which also stars Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, and Viola Davis, amassed a further $132 million from 57 international territories for a worldwide haul of $267.1 million. IMAX numbers accounted for $18.2 million of _Suicide Squad_’s receipts, the strongest-ever August showing for the format. Judging by the film’s B+ grade on CinemaScore, audiences were seemingly less enthusiastic exiting the theater as they were heading in. Though not a terrible showing, _Suicide Squad_ will likely fall in-step with Warner Bros.’ last superhero outing, _Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice_, and [drop significantly](http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=superman2015.htm) over its sophomore frame. As expected, Universal’s _Jason Bourne_ took a nasty tumble in _Suicide Squad_’s wake, falling 61.6 percent to No. 2 with an estimated $22.7 million. The $120-million production crossed the $100 million mark in North America Sunday on top of pulling in an additional $91.9 million from foreign markets, bringing the film’s global total to $195.3 million after just 10 days in release. STX’s _Bad Moms_ continues its impressive run at the domestic box office at No. 3, falling a mere 40 percent to $14.2 million after opening to $23.8 million last week. The R-rated, female-driven comedy follows in the footsteps of successful films like Amy Schumer’s _Trainwreck_, Melissa McCarthy’s _Spy_, and the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler vehicle _Sisters_as genre pictures successfully speaking to a generally underserved demographic. After 10 days in wide release, _Spy_ had amassed $56 million on its way to a grand total of $110 million; at the same checkpoint, _Bad Moms_currently trails the Paul Feig flick by a mere $5 million, meaning Mila Kunis and company could be looking at a final number approaching the $100 million mark by the end of their run. At No. 4, Illuminations and Universal’s _The Secret Life of Pets_ adds an estimated $11.6 million to its domestic total of $319.6 million. Worldwide, the film crosses the $500 million mark this weekend. Rounding out the top five is _Star Trek Beyond_ with an estimated $10.2 million, which continues the film’s downward spiral as it drops over 58 percent for the second consecutive weekend. The film’s domestic total hovers around $127.9 million as of Sunday. Outside the top five, EuropaCorp’s critically panned _Nine Lives_, which features Kevin Spacey voicing an animated cat, meets modest expectations as it earns an estimated $6.5 million over its debut weekend. Mike Birbiglia’s _Don’t Think Twice_ continues to impress in limited release, adding $395,637 to its growing total of $701,485 after notching some of the year’s highest per-screen averages during its first ($92,835) and second ($31,022) weekends in theaters. Year-to-date box office is up approximately 4.1 percent from 2015\. Check out the Aug. 5-7 weekend estimates below. 1\.
