Shazam Sequel Fails to Soar at Box Office
TL;DR Summary
The sequel to Shazam, Fury of the Gods, opened at number 1 at the box office but underperformed with a net of about $30 million domestically against an estimated $35-40 million, and a $210 million production/marketing budget. The slowdown in audience excitement for the film franchise could be due to less than glowing reviews, superhero fatigue, a murky marketing campaign, the lack of name-brand superheroes, or the recent shakeup at DC Studios.
