Despite tepid reviews, "Suicide Squad" had a strong showing at the box office this past weekend raking in $133.7 million from domestic theaters -- and the success continued even after the weekend, as the film secured the record for the highest-gross ever, for a Monday, in August.

According to Box Office Mojo, "Suicide Squad" earned $13.1 million from Monday night showings alone. The previous record holder was 2014's "Guardians of the Galaxy," which made $11.7 million the Monday following its release on August 4.

While things have been good for "Suicide Squad" so far, estimates for next weekend predict the film will make $51-54 million from domestic theaters. If so, the film would see a 60-61% decline from its freshman weekend. In comparison, "Batman v Superman" dropped 76% in its second weekend.
