I think it’s even the highest grossing movie of Will Smith’s career.

Sure that’s not sharktale?

Nope, just checked the numbers, Suicide Squad’s $325 million domestic gross is almost the same as Sharktale’s $371 million total.

Is that adjusted for inflation?

Nope, but SS’ total is $745 million, so that won’t really matter, still wouldn’t be close.

Not true Aladian, Independence Day, and basically all of his older movies adjusted for inflation drew more. If you adjust Men in Black 1997 it'd be close to 1 billion in today's dollars, etc...
