‘Suicide Squad’ Gets Ahead Of ‘Batman V Superman’ In Blu-Ray/DVD Sales

It seems Suicide Squad has gotten ahead of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in Blu-Ray and DVD sales, according to The-Numbers. The former, since its release on home video, has sold over 1.6 million Blu-Rays and 971,026 DVDs. Whereas Batman v Superman has sold 1.5 million in Blu-Ray units and 619,096 DVDs. Monetarily speaking, Suicide Squad beats out Dawn of Justice by a pretty large margin, with the former making a total of $48,416,041 vs the latter’s $39,156,850 in Blu-Ray sales.

This is interesting seeing as how Dawn of Justice came out on home video far before Suicide Squad did and by all accounts, both Batman and Superman are both far more popular characters than many of the ones who appear in David Ayer’s film. Another fun fact is that the movie is also beating out other comic book movie adaptations like Deadpool and Captain America: Civil War.

Fans have long argued over which film is better and, although both films were received by a mixed critical reception, both Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman have made a good amount of money at the global box office. Suicide Squad 2 is already being developed and Batman and Superman will be seen again in this year’s Justice League.
