That's one narrow way to look at it.
The other way to look at it is SS squad started out 30 millions ahead of GotG. A week later, it's 50 millions ahead. It will likely hit the 300 million domestic box office much earlier than GotG did.
But at GAF, that's a failure, of course.
Not to be a pedant, but it opened $39m higher than Guardians and the gap has increased to $46m now. That's a difference of $7m rather than the $20m you claim.
But as that link shows, the gap in dailies is shrinking and as of the Sunday estimates, Guardians is earning more per day. I expect a few flip flops, but by this time next week, there will likely not be a single day where SS outgrosses Guardians. It's dropping significantly faster. You're looking at totals after 10 days, ignoring the trend, and declaring that the trajectory is the same. That's narrow. Suicide Squad's first Friday was $27m higher than Guardians, nearly double. Its second Friday was just $1m higher. There is no reality where that is the same or even similar trajectory.
SS will not hit $300m earlier than Guardians did. It's not quite guaranteed to hit $300m at all at this rate. I'm guessing $295-305m total.
