James Gunn's Wonder Woman 1984 shockingly dropping drastically, not only losing its "Certified Fresh" status, but falling into a full-on "Rotten" score at 59%.
Wonder Woman 1984, whereas The Suicide Squad really only dropped a few percentage points.
After initially opening at 100% (and quickly dropping down to 97% after more reviews came in), The Suicide Squad has now dropped down to 92%, which is the second-Thor: Ragnarok (93%).
The other interesting stat before release was the difference between its Tomatometer score and average reviews. Before release, it had a bigger difference than any movie in the MCU, but with additional reviews coming in, that difference narrowed from 17 points (97% Tomatometer minus 8/10 average review score) to 16 points (92% Tomatometer minus 7.6/10 average review score), which drops it behind Thor: Ragnarok, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad have average review scores of 22 points and 23 points higher than the Tomatometer respectively. It's now also below Shazam, which has a 17 point difference (with a Tomatometer score higher than average review scores).
Of course, as always, reviews are all subjective, and especially after they're run through Rotten Tomatoes' formula, so this is hardly any kind of measurement of actual quality or enjoyment, and merely an estimate of critical consensus. It's clear overall that critics are very positive on the movie, and with an audience score coming in at 84% (for now, audience scores almost always drop even more in the weeks and months after release), it's the second-highest rated by audiences, below The Suicide Squad's 259 reviews interestingly make it the DCEU movie with the least reviews submitted to Rotten Tomatoes, which could be partially indicative of the lower turnout (and therefore low box office score), although that number is sure to climb a bit more, it likely won't result in any significant swing in the actual scores at this point. A drop below 90% would place it below Shazam!, but barring a swing that severe, The Suicide Squad is likely secure as the DCEU's second-highest rated movie in Rotten Tomatoes.
