” is thundering to a No. 1 opening at the box office, though the DC Comics adaptation is expected to fly in lower than its predecessor.

“Fury of the Gods” scored $11.7 million in opening day ticket sales, a figure that includes $3.4 million in Thursday previews. That’s almost half of the $20.3 million that the 2019 original earned in its first day of release, on its way to a $53 million bow. “Fury of the Gods” carries a production budget of $125 million, which is $25 million higher than its predecessor’s.

Opening in 4,071 theaters, the superhero sequel will likely struggle to reach a $30 million debut. With DC Studios under the newly minted leadership of Peter Safran and James Gunn, “Shazam! 2” represents somewhat of a relic of a bygone regime for the comic book banner. While a film like “The Flash” was also conceived before Safran and Gunn’s tenure, the pair of CEOs have often declared their conviction in the quality of the upcoming Ezra Miller film.

Responses are also a step down from the resounding praise that met the original. “Fury of the Gods” currently carries a 26% approval rating from top critics on review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes. The film did earn a “B+” rating through research firm Cinema Score, indicating general approval among the first round of ticket buyers, but even that is a notable degree down from the first film’s “A” grade.

Starring Zachary Levi, “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” sees Billy Batson and his foster siblings using their transformative powers to take on the Daughters of Atlas, who threaten to destroy the world. Rachel Zegler, Adam Brody, Lucy Liu and Helen Mirren round out the film’s cast.

Recent studies have shown that 27% of people now wait for a streaming TV series’ finale before starting, citing fears over the show’s cancellation with an unresolved ending. ShazamFuryOfGods is a film in a cancelled franchise. Of course modern audiences are ignoring it.

why the Soft cussion Flop headline

It won’t make a profit because it is flaming garbage. DC is doomed.

Guess who put his hands in it

You can tell by David’s comments that something went sour during filming. He was done before he even came out. He was ready to move on. Don’t expect any Sandberg DCU movies. Right now it’s an island of one.

A real shame, fantastic movie really entertaining, good for families to go to as well , I'd happily recommend it to anyone looking for a fun couple of hours to experience 😊 🇦🇺👏

After the crappy first one ppl knew what they were in for and probably decided to skip this one.

Trash. Levi is trash 💩💩💩💩

I think my main hang up with the character is that he didn’t do a single neck workout for this film. He looks like a normal sized guy in an overly padded suit…because he’s a normal sized guy in an overpadded suit.

You don’t make the moves the suits made to course correct and expect people to be invested. Project should’ve been cancelled along with everything else including that upcoming Flash movie. Everyone but WB knows these ‘left over’ films will flop.

People love a comeback ShazamFuryOfTheGods

RiP DCEU

💣 BoycottWBD

💩💩💩💩💩💩
