From doing not so great on its first day in the box office, Birds of prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), or the renamed Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey is hitting its highest highs as it closes in on another box office milestone
. The movie added another $4 million in North America this weekend and more from international markets to push the movie's total to $188.38 million globally, meaning it should reach $200 million over the next weekend or two.
Birds of Prey may end up making the lowest amount of money for a DC Extended Universe movie, but that's partly because it's production budget was also the smallest. The budgets for Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Aquaman, and Shazam! were all in excess of $100 million.
Birds of Prey is 2020's fourth-biggest movie so far, trailing Sonic the Hedgehog ($265 million), 1917 ($362 million), and Bad Boys for Life ($405 million) in terms of global box office results.
Several movie theatre chains changed the name of Birds of Prey to Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey in an effort to draw more interest in the movie. The movie's official title remains Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn).
