"Suicide Squad" took a steep dive but still managed to dominate the box-office against solid competition from the R-rated animated feature "Sausage Party", Disney's "Pete's Dragon" remake and the Meryl Streep starrer "Florence Foster Jenkins".
Find out more about the weekend box office after the jump.
"Suicide Squad" is still the top movie of the weekend despite a 67% drop, which is almost just as bad as that of "Batman V Superman" in its second weekend. The film grossed $43.7 million and has now reached $222.8 million domestically in 12 days. Overseas, it has grossed $242.5 million.
In second place, we have the new release "Sausage Party". The R-rated animated feature scored $33.6 million in its opening weekend, which is somewhat better than initial expectations, and a great result considering that the film only cost $19 million to produce. "Sausage Party" received a "B" rating on CinemaScore and it now stands at 82% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Disney's remake "Pete's Dragon" opened in third place with an unimpressive $21.5 million compared to its $65 million budget. Overseas, the film added $5.1 million from 12 territories. The film scored an "A" from CinemaScore and on Rotten Tomatoes it holds an 85% rating.
