In case anyone wondered whether Seth Rogen could make what amounts to a movie-length penis joke and get people to flock to it, the answer is yes. Sausage Party scored this weekend with a solid $33.6 million debut, reports Variety. That wasn't enough to unseat Suicide Squad, which USA Today notes chalked up a $43.8 million win that was nevertheless "a brutal 67% drop from its August-record $133.7 million opening." Coming in third was Pete's Dragon, with a lackluster $21.6 million debut. And rounding out the top five were Jason Bourne with $13.6 million and Bad Moms with $11.5 million.
