birds of prey

Birds of Prey flies straight to the top of the Australian box office, taking almost $4m in its first weekend

The film, starring Margot Robbie as the titular Quinn, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Rosie Perez, Chris Messina, Ella Jay Basco, Ali Wong, and Ewan McGregor, was written by Christina Hodson and directed by Cathy Yan.

It’s a follow up to 2016’s Suicide Squad, but also a spin off, following Robbie’s character. The film is based on the DC Birds of Prey comics and is the eighth in the extended DC film universe. Birds of Prey global opening weekend total of US$81m is considered disappointing in the comic book film cosmos.
