“It was the something different that adult audiences have been craving,” said Jeff Bock, an analyst with Exhibitor Relations. The $19 million animated comedy was also backed by Annapurna Pictures, the maker of “The Master” and “American Hustle.” Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Edward Norton, Jonah Hill and Bill Hader are among the vocal cast members. It's good news and bad news for the comic-book film: That's a brutal 67% drop from its August-record $133.7 million opening, but the 10-day domestic total is $222.9 million for the supervillain-centric affair.

 In third place was the Disney family remake Pete's Dragon, starring Bryce Dallas Howard as a forest ranger who takes in a boy (Oakes Fegley) whose best friend is a giant green dragon. “People who are coming out of the theater are just loving it and their advocacy is going to help us put together a nice, solid run.” 
 
 Coming in fourth, Universal’s “Jason Bourne” added $13.6 million to its haul, pushing its domestic total to $126.8 million. STX Entertainment’s “Bad Moms” rounded out the top five with $11.4 million. Paramount debuted “Florence Foster Jenkins,” a comedy about an off-key opera singer and heiress (Meryl Streep) who rents out Carnegie Hall for a public performance, in 1,528 locations. In limited release, the Western heist film Hell or High Water — brandishing Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine and an astounding 99% on Rotten Tomatoes — rode tall in 32 theaters with $592,000, an $18,500-per-screen average. Even with the diminishing returns and scathing reviews, Squad has made $465.4 million globally and should be considered a success, says comScore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian.
– In case anyone wondered whether Seth Rogen could make what amounts to a movie-length penis joke and get people to flock to it, the answer is yes. Sausage Party scored this weekend with a solid $33.6 million debut, reports Variety. That wasn't enough to unseat Suicide Squad, which USA Today notes chalked up a $43.8 million win that was nevertheless "a brutal 67% drop from its August-record $133.7 million opening." Coming in third was Pete's Dragon, with a lackluster $21.6 million debut. And rounding out the top five were Jason Bourne with $13.6 million and Bad Moms with $11.5 million.
