Box office-wise, 'Birds of Prey' was middling—$201 million globally sounds decent until you factor in budgets and expectations. It didn’t flop, but it didn’t soar either. The R rating and competition from 'Sonic the Hedgehog' didn’t help. But I loved its gutsy style. Harley’s roller derby fight? Peak cinema. It’s a shame it didn’t find its audience right away, but it’s definitely a cult gem now.

I’ve got a soft spot for 'Birds of Prey,' even if its box office was underwhelming. It made about $84 million domestically, which isn’t terrible for an R-rated comic book movie, but it didn’t light the world on fire. The international numbers helped, but the timing was brutal—right before COVID closures. What’s wild is how much it leaned into Harley’s manic energy, almost to a fault. The plot was thin, but the chemistry between the women carried it.

A lot of people blamed the marketing. The trailers were fun but didn’t really sell the team aspect. And that title? A mouthful. Still, I think it’s underrated. The soundtrack slapped, the costumes were iconic, and Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya was a delight. It’s the kind of movie that’ll get rediscovered in a few years, mark my words.

'Birds of Prey' was a weird case—it didn’t smash records, but it wasn’t a flop either. Worldwide, it pulled in around $200 million against an $80-ish million budget, so it probably broke even after marketing. The R rating definitely limited its audience, but I respect that it went all-in on the violent, quirky style. Compared to other DC films, it felt fresh, even if it didn’t have the mass appeal of 'Aquaman' or 'Wonder Woman.'

What’s interesting is how divisive it was. Some critics praised its feminism and action, while others called it messy. Personally, I adored the fight scenes—that police station sequence? Pure chaos in the best way. And Jurnee Smollett’s Black Canary was a standout. The box office might not have been stellar, but it’s one of those films that’ll age well, especially among fans who appreciate its unapologetic vibe.

Birds of Prey' had a pretty mixed run at the box office, honestly. It opened with $33 million domestically, which was lower than expected for a DC film, especially one tied to Harley Quinn’s popularity. The pandemic didn’t help—it hit theaters in February 2020, just before everything shut down. But here’s the thing: it found a second life on VOD and digital platforms, where it did surprisingly well. The film’s colorful, chaotic energy resonated with fans, even if the theatrical numbers didn’t blow anyone away.

I remember discussing it with friends—some loved the R-rated, girl gang vibe, while others felt it was too niche. Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn was as electric as ever, but the marketing maybe didn’t clarify the tone well enough. Was it a Harley solo movie? A team-up? The title change from 'Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)' to just 'Birds of Prey' mid-run says a lot about the confusion. Still, it’s a cult favorite now, and that counts for something.

Is Birds of Prey connected to the DCEU?

4 Answers2026-04-09 23:36:27
Birds of Prey absolutely exists within the DCEU, though it sometimes feels like it’s dancing just on the edges of that universe rather than diving headfirst into the interconnected chaos. Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn is the clearest link—she first appeared in 'Suicide Squad,' which is undeniably part of the DCEU. The movie references events from that film, like her breakup with the Joker, but it’s more concerned with carving out its own chaotic, glitter-bombed corner of Gotham. There’s no Superman or Batman cameo, no world-ending stakes—just Harley’s messy, violent energy driving the story. That said, the lack of overt connections to other DCEU projects makes it feel almost standalone. It’s refreshing in a way, like the filmmakers were given permission to ignore the bigger picture and just have fun. Even the tone is wildly different: more neon-punk than gritty superhero drama. But if you’re a completionist, yeah, it’s technically part of the timeline—just don’t expect it to tie directly into 'Justice League' or anything.

Man, I was just scrolling through my streaming options the other day trying to find 'Birds of Prey'—such a fun movie with that chaotic Harley Quinn energy! It’s currently available on HBO Max if you’re subscribed, and you can also rent or buy it on platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Google Play Movies, or Apple TV. I love how each platform sometimes has exclusive extras; HBO Max occasionally includes behind-the-scenes stuff, which is a nice bonus. If you’re into physical media, the Blu-ray has some wild deleted scenes and commentary tracks that add to the madness. Honestly, the fight choreography alone is worth revisiting—the 'police station' scene lives rent-free in my head. Check your local library too; mine surprisingly had a copy last month!

What is the Birds of Prey movie rated?

I caught 'Birds of Prey' in theaters when it first dropped, and let me tell you—it’s a wild, colorful ride! The film’s rated R, and honestly, it earns every bit of that rating. Harley Quinn’s antics are as chaotic as ever, with plenty of profanity, over-the-top violence (think baseball bats and glitter bombs), and a few suggestive scenes. It’s not as grim as 'Joker,' but it doesn’t hold back either. The action sequences are kinetic, almost like a live-action cartoon, but with enough bone-crunching moments to remind you it’s for mature audiences. What I love is how the R rating lets the film embrace its weirdness fully. There’s a scene where Harley smashes a guy’s knees with a mallet while gleefully narrating, and it’s equal parts hilarious and brutal. If you’re into DC’s more unhinged side or just want to see Margot Robbie having the time of her life, this is a blast. Just don’t bring the kids—unless you’re cool with explaining why hyenas are the ultimate pet choice.

Will there be a Birds of Prey sequel?

Man, I've been low-key obsessed with 'Birds of Prey' since it dropped! Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn was pure chaotic gold, and that pastel-grunge aesthetic? Chef's kiss. The box office wasn't stellar, but the cult following is real—just look at all the fan edits still popping up on TikTok. DC's been shuffling their slate like a deck of cards though; James Gunn's new universe might prioritize other projects. Still, I’d kill for a sequel with Huntress getting more screen time. That cafeteria fight scene lives rent-free in my head. Honestly, it’s a toss-up. Streaming numbers on Max are solid, and Harley’s merch sells like crazy. If Gunn greenlights anything, I bet it’ll be a hybrid—maybe a 'Gotham City Sirens' mashup with Poison Ivy. Fingers crossed!
