It made just over $100 million here in the states.

So far the DCEU is off to a better start, in terms of box office intake, than the MCU was at the same time in the franchise's history.
Iron Man: $585.2 million worldwide
Man of Steel: $668 million worldwide
The Incredible Hulk: $263.4 million worldwide
Batman v. Superman: $872.7 million worldwide
Iron Man 2: $623.9 million worldwide
Suicide Squad: $745.6 million worldwide
Captain America: $370.6 million worldwide
Wonder Woman: $223 million worldwide (in just one weekend)

Wonder Woman V Harley Quinn: Naked Crisis will blow all of this out of the water.

Umm Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are 3 of the top 5 comic book properties. Iron Man probably didn't crack the top 10 when his was released, and people didn't care all that much about Thor either before his debut. Plus let's not forget about inflation either.
As good as Wonder Woman was, the DCEU has so far underperformed and have largely been shite. It's by no means off to a better start than Marvel.

So how do you explain the massive intake from Suicide Squad?

Inflation still wouldn't put Iron Man over the top of Man of Steel. The same thing goes for Incredible Hulk over Batman v. Superman, Iron Man 2 over Suicide Squad, etc.

You can talk about quality all you want, but every single DCEU film has been a box office success so far.

Get with the program. DCEU films each need to make a billion to cover their budgets. We've gone over this.

This is so true. How silly of me to forget.

Because it had the greatest villain of all time supposedly starring in it.

I'll give a point to Suicide Squad, but it would just be fricking embarrassing for Iron Man and the Hulk in their debuts to beat Superman and Batman.
Also let's not forget we had another Hulk origin story 5 years before that, which probably had something to do with its lower numbers.

And Marvel's haven't, save for maybe the Incredible Hulk?

You give way too much credit to the Joker. His presence in the film does not fully explain how a film as critically maligned as Suicide Squad made so much money at the box office.

Iron Man beat Superman Returns at the box office. And The Incredible Hulk scored better box office results than Batman & Robin.

You're missing my point. The DCEU is outpacing the MCU at the box office while putting out a borderline shitty product. Can you imagine what they would do if all of their films start becoming as critically acclaimed as Wonder Woman?

Well that's on Bryan Singer and the fact that the action was subpar. Mass audiences like loud stupid shite like Transformers and Man of Steel.

Oh wow, it had better box office results than what is almost universally proclaimed as one of the worst movies of all time and almost killed off the superhero genre as a whole before it really started. Great accomplishment.

Yeah, but Snyder and Goyer are still largely running the show. Wonder Woman is a fluke as far as I'm concerned until I start seeing some sort of pattern here.

Actually that's not true. Geoff Johns and John Berg are in control of the DCEU. Has been that way for a year now.

You say that any Batman or Superman film that gets beat by an Iron Man or Hulk film should be embarrassed. I gave you two examples of this happening in the past. I don't care how or why it happened.

Goyer isn't attached to another DCEU project until 2020's Green Lantern Corps. Apart from Justice League, the only other film Snyder is attached to direct is Justice League Part Two.
And I think we need to give Snyder credit where credit is due. He was a producer and co-writer on Wonder Woman. Patty Jenkins was no doubt the main force behind the film's success, but Snyder did well behind the scenes - which is where he belongs on a lot of these projects. It's obvious he loves these properties, but it's also obvious he shouldn't be directing them.

Giving Snyder credit for this is like giving Goyer credit for the Dark Knight being great or blaming Nolan for Man of Steel being a disaster.
But I'm done arguing with you on your moral victories. I personally don't give a damn about the box office so long as something that's actually good that they are rewarded for their performance.

It's kind of silly to compare the early MCU movies b/c the international market was nowhere near as lucrative back then as it is now.
Also, a major reason Marvel wanted to have their own studio w/full control of the movies was b/c they were pissed at how studios like Universal and Paramount were terrible at pushing the movies outside of the US.

Remember when Ghostbusters and Hillary Clinton both failed last year due to misogyny? Why didn't misogynists destroy this movie?

This seems to depend upon how comfortable one is in their masculinity and/or one's allegiance to Marvel movies, but it appears to be a bona fide critical and commercial hit.
Audience and critics have it at over 90% approval.
