LOS ANGELES — Suicide Squad held on for a third straight week as the top money-maker at North American box offices, easily brushing off the competition, industry estimates showed Sunday. Suicide Squad hasn’t been a favorite with critics, but moviegoers plunked down US$20.7 million over the weekend to see Will Smith, Jared Leto and Margot Robbie play a band of criminals hired to carry out secret missions. It made US$15.3 million, down from last week’s US$34.3 million take. Kubo and the Two Strings landed in fourth place on its first weekend out, pulling in $12.6 million. The remake of Ben-Hur, meanwhile, went down in flames its debut weekend in North American theaters, earning only US$11.4 million and coming in fifth place.
