(UTVNEWS | COLOMBO) – Filmmaker James Gunn has taken to Twitter to reveal that the red-band trailer for his upcoming “The Suicide Squad” film has broken a major record.
The semi-reboot/semi-sequel of the DC Comics title has reportedly received the most views in a single week of any red-band trailer to date. Since its debut last Friday, it has scored 150 million views – beating the record previously held by the upcoming “Mortal Kombat”.
