The premiere of Shazam: Fury of the Gods It was a box office disaster, grossing only $30.5 million in the United States there $35.5 million internationally in its first weekend in theaters. That’s a big drop from the first film in the franchise, which grossed $53 million when it opened in the United States in 2019 and a total of $155 million worldwide.

The film, which has a budget of 125 million dollars, we expected a very moderate success, but it is quite the opposite. Its disappointing box office numbers should worry Warner Bros. executives.

It was expected that the inclusion of new characters, such as the film’s villain, played by Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu, Rachel Zegler It’s included Adam Brody, will attract a wider audience to theaters. However, it seems that the film failed to capture audiences’ attention in the same way as its predecessor.

Critics were also very strong with the filmwith many pointing out its totally hazy and unsatisfying plot, although many have highlighted his good humor and his “heart” which is maintained from the first delivery.

Currently on Rotten Tomatoes it has a 53% by criticswhile by the general public, it has 88%. However, their WOM (word of mouth) was low, since CinemaScore Have a B+ by the public in the United States.

Shazam: Fury Of The Gods Box Office Disaster Was No Surprise

The poor performance of Shazam fury of the gods not come as a surprise to many in the industry, not even its manager, David F. Sandberg who commented on reddit:

“Don’t worry. Not that it’s a surprise. I saw where this was going a long time ago. I’ll be fine though. They paid me all my money up front.

In short, the low attendance at theaters during the opening weekend suggests that viewers weren’t as excited as expected to see the new Shazam movie.

Warner Bros. executives will have to carefully consider what has gone wrong so far. and find out how they can prevent this from happening in the future, given that they have other versions like the flash oh blue beetle on my way.
