I think the "good will" of DC from WW/Aquaman/Shazam didn't extend to this one precisely because it reminded people of Suicide Squad.
I wonder if enough "common people" will know who James Gunn is for The Suicide Squad to actually do well, or if most people will dismiss it. Or if DC will push hard in the marketing "From the man who brought you Guardians of the Galaxy" to try to use Marvel to sell a DC movie.
