After three straight weekends at No. 1, Warner Bros. comic book hit “Suicide Squad” is finally going down — and landing harder than initially expected. Screen Gems and Stage 6 Films horror thriller “Don’t Breathe” has gained a huge amount of momentum and is poised to double initial expectations to end the weekend close to $22 million. It looks likely to steal the spot from “Suicide Squad” and beat it by roughly $10 million. The scary movie, about a group of friends who decide to rob a wealthy blind man, made $10 million on Friday from 3,051 screens. Also Read: Surprise! This Summer's Box »
