The critics have generally been positive about it, but the reviews did not translate into a box office success for Birds of Prey.

The opening weekend for the Suicide Squad sequel was the worst of any other DC film. The movie made $33.25 million while Warner Bros. hoped it would deliver $56-60 million. However, the movie earned a further $48 million overseas, bringing the total earnings to $81 million – just short of the reported budget of $84.5 million dollars.

The original Suicide Squad, despite having problems of its own, managed to earn 134 million dollars in its first week in 2016. This decline can be tallied to the new movie’s R rating as opposed to the former’s PG-13 rating, a fact that may prevented the younger audiences from seeing it. Another factor that comes into play is the Corona virus which probably affected the numbers in East Asia – a market that Warner Bros. counted on.

These results are deviating from the recent success of Warner Bros. with other DC movies. The last three of those – Shazam (2019), Aquaman (2018), and Justice League (2017) – were commercial successes.

Birds of Prey is shaping up to be one of the most epic movies of the year, and it seems its soundtrack will be equally impressive. It will feature an all-female lineup and the first single shows Megan Thee Stallion and Normani join forces for the first time.

The explosive track, titled “Diamonds,” pays obvious homage to Marilyn Monroe’s iconic number “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” and it even features a scene in which Normani sings in a glamorous pink dress surrounded by a bunch of backup dancers.

Monroe isn’t the only movie icon they paid homage to in this video – the song will be featured in the new Harley Quinn movie, after all! The two singers can be seen rocking their own outfits inspired by this comic book heroine, and holding her signature weapons – hammer and baseball bat.

“Diamonds” is the first single from the Birds of Prey soundtrack, but this album has so much more in store. It’s coming out on February 7th, just like the movie, and we’ll get to hear new songs from Doja Cat, Summer Walker, Halsey, and Lauren Jauregui once it does.

The first official trailer for Birds of Prey trailer is finally here.

It has been a long wait since Margot Robbie first teased the feature back in January via her Instagram account, but now all is well as DC comics dropped full-length trailer Tuesday. 

Robbie first debuted as Harley Quinn in 2016’s Suicide Squad. This time around she’s in the lead of a female-led comic film adaptation, which sees her alter-ego, Harley Quinn, transform from Joker’s sidekick to leader of the group of antiheroes.

“The Joker and I broke up,” she explains, “I wanted a fresh start. But it turns out I wasn’t the only dame in Gotham looking for emancipation.”

The trailer shows Quinn recruit a group of women in charge of protecting Cassandra Cain, played by Ella Jay Basco, from Black Mask, played by Ewan McGregor.

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) hits theaters February 7, 2020.

Want to see a glimpse of Harley Quinn in Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), the Suicide Squad spin-off? You’ll have to wait a long time. Or else you might choose to go to see It: Chapter Two in the theater.

According to Digital spy, Warner Bros. have decided that the new teaser for the anticipated flick would not go online. Instead, it will be played only in theaters, before screenings of It: Chapter Two.

It is not the first time such a strategy is being used in order to lure the audience to the cinemas. The screenings of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood were preceded by a teaser for Christopher Nolan’s Tenet that has not yet been uploaded online.

Margot Robbie will of course reprise her role as Harley Quinn. She will be joined by Mary Elizabeth as Huntress, Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary, Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra Cain and Rosie Perez as Gotham City police detective Renee Montoya. Ewan McGregor will play Black Mask and Chris Messina will play the sadistic serial killer Victor Zsasz.

The movie is due to be released on February 7, 2020.

Birds of Prey finally has a release date.

Since Margot Robbie’s debut as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, fans have been eager to see more of the star in the psycho turned anti-hero role. When rumors started flying that she Harley Quinn was getting her own movie, the internet went wild.

It has now been confirmed that the DC movie will hit cinemas on February 7, 2020. The movie will be directed by Cathy Yan.

Birds of Prey will not be a standalone film about Harley Quinn but it will be about the wildcard and her gang of vigilantes. Robbie described the movie as an “R-rated girl-gang film including Harley”.

“I was like, ‘Harley needs friends’. Harley loves interacting with people, so don’t ever make her do a standalone film,” she said. “She’s got to be with other people, it should be a girl gang. I wasn’t seeing enough girl gangs on screen, especially in the action space.”

She also teased: “There will be new Halloween costumes out there, one day.”

We can also confirm that True Blood star Jurnee Smollett-Bell will be playing the martial arts master with sonic-scream ability, Black Canary. Fargo’s Mary Elizabeth Winstead will be playing the skilled fighter, Huntress.

February 7, 2020 can’t come soon enough.

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding the casting of the Huntress in the upcoming Harley Quinn spin-off Birds Of Prey, but the search is finally over. Mary Elizabeth Winstead has been cast in the role of the notorious superhero vigilante alongside Margot Robbie.

The Fargo star will play Helena Bertinelli, aka the Huntress, a former mafia princess, who becomes a vigilante after witnessing the murder of her family. She’s often seen as a part of the main trifecta of the Birds of Prey, alongside Batgirl and Black Canary, who will be played by Jurnee Smollett-Bell.

The list of actresses considered for the role of the Huntress also included Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Margaret Qualley, and Cristin Milioti. Even before her casting became official, Mary Elizabeth Winstead said it would be really fun to be a part of this project and work with a great group of people she admires.

“This one, in particular, is really exciting because it’s an all-girl cast being directed by a woman. There’s not a lot in that world that is quite so female-driven, and the way that they’re looking to do it and to go about it is really interesting and new and exciting, so that is something I’m very interested in,” explained Winstead.

“She [Harley Quinn] has got to be with other people, it should be a girl gang,” Robbie told Collider. “I wasn’t seeing enough girl gangs on screen, especially in the action space. So that was always a big part of it.”

The 28-year-old is also producing the film and spoke about the importance of having a woman help the project.

“And then, of course, having a female director to tell that story. And giving a female director the chance to do big budget stuff. They always get ‘Here’s the tiny little film’… I was like, ‘I love action. I love action films. I’m a girl. What, are we meant to only like a specific thing’? So it was hugely important to find a female director for this, if possible. But at the end of the day — male, female — the best director gets the job and Cathy was the best director.”

Birds of Prey will begin production in January.
