Downturns were “primarily driven by the weak performance of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League this year,” say Warner execs, adding that the bruise is all the more tender given “the strong performance of Hogwarts Legacy in the prior year.”
I imagine Warner bosses comparing Suicide Squad to its Potterverse golden child twists the knife a bit for the folks at Rocksteady, but the news isn’t really a surprise. We learnt a couple of months ago that Suicide Squad lost Warner a whopping $200 million after the ga…
