Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2022)

The first one was the BEST, bar none, movie of the DCEU.

boxofficepro now thinks it is going to bomb, with $125m budget
3 day weekend - $32,000,000 – $42,000,000
total domestic - $77,000,000 – $110,000,000
1st one made $53m opening, $140m domestic $363m worldwide with $85m budget

even after the gunn announcement, places were predicting it would do at least as good as the 1st and $400+m worldwide

seems ok but i can wait 3 months and see it at home. be interesting to see if it does better than black adam, which would be funny

studio thinks it will open with $34m
boxofficepro now lowered their prediction to $27.4m opening
deadline predicts $35m

I might take my boys, just to ensure it outperforms black Adam

I think DCU fans mainly made Shazam a success and not as many normies. With a lot of people believing these movies really don't mean shit with the "new" DCU coming, less will go to the theaters.

Taste the rainbow motherfucker.

little interesting variety reporting the 1st one cost $15m more and fury $25m less than estimates

I thought the movie was fine. It could use a little tightening up, but I didn't hate it or get bored watching it like Black Adam. I think the problem is that most of the comic book movie watchers know that this movie probably means dick with the upcoming DCU reboot. I am wondering how Aquaman 2 is gonna fair now, especially with the Amber Heard stuff and the rumors from prescreenings that it sucks balls.

Is the movie any good? Sounds like a shit movie and I really like Levi

i think its a fine 6 out of 10 middle of the road entertaining enough movie. The worst part of the movie is Lucy Liu's acting. Its like she tried to ham it up and be over the top as the villain and ended up in community theater land.

its pretty funny, better than the first movie. i'm actually laughing quite often, Gunn and his new vision fucked this movie before it had a chance.

i like how they are borrowing from Warner's other IPs, so far i see nods to Harry Potter and Game Of Thrones. oh and Lucy Liu and Helen Mirren are hamming it up to levels i didnt know were possible. i also dont remember Shazaams foster mom being this fucking hot.

The 2023 release schedule is packed, but its very unclear that the mass narket has returned to their prior attendance rates. I think we're going to see quite a few films have okay launches and, only if good reviews, strong legs, but otherwise will wither instantly, with a mountain of films losing money in the theaters.

With movies going to streaming in like 45 days, people are willing to wait for that to happen. Along with the "mask wearing" segment of the population I don't think pre-Covid movie box office numbers are gonna be back. We will still have some big hitters, but they better bring something special.

Even Avatar 2 opening weekend was half full. Even though it made a ton of money.

about 31/32 days to vod, if correct
