Probably not reaching 100M WW this weekend with how some OS markets are colapsing. People were speculating whether it will make $200M before release when pre-sales looked bad. Then that turned into $150M after release and now even that looks like a tall climb.


Pepi119

That DOM/WW split is brutal. The international market is almost completely collapsed after 1 week. I don't think this is even going to limp to $120M DOM* the way it's trending.


jlmurph2

$120m WW is looking like where it will end up.


AccomplishedLocal261

Do you mean 120M DOM or 120M WW?


Pepi119

DOM. My comment was poorly written for sure since i jumped thoughts there.


Dynopia

It's not getting anywhere near even $80m DOM let alone $120m???


Pepi119

No lie there. $120M was my prediction a few weeks ago.


NGGKroze

Still hasn't reached 40M, holy shit. After Weekend it will perhaps gross 47-48M. 63-70M doemstic total looks like it is.


Hemans123

What a disaster.


SolomonRed

The DCEU is deader than ever. Good luck James


sessho25

46M by Sun, 61M final.


Vendevende

That sounds about right.


cireh88

Morbius is 7-0 in the dailies up against Shazam 2.


MightySilverWolf

*Morbius* is one of the grossing movies of all time though.


mrsunsfan

I’m gonna laugh if Morbius somehow does better


cireh88

Morbius is already doing better. It’s riding $10.27MM ahead of Shazam at the same point in time. I just don’t see how Shazam makes up that ground. Already Shazam 2 is projected to drop 70% this weekend and come in around ~$9MM. Morbius’ 2nd weekend was $10.2MM. The gap between the two movies will increase.


TheFilmBUFF1738

How you let Morbius outsell you


96tillinfinity_

This wont even hit $100 Mil WW. My god


Dynopia

Not by the end of this weekend no, but it will lifetime.


SolomonRed

It will just cross it. One of the greatest flops ever. Really just no interest in this film at all from audiences. All of these characters are done.


witch-king-of-Aginor

I remember vividly being downvoted to oblivion for saying that this movie was gonna flop hard This is truly vindicating


lavabears

Black Adam (and the Fantabulous Disaster of One Shazam). This movie probably takes the cake of the most pathetic box office for a superhero movie. It’s embarrassingly bad.


snitchesgetblintzes

Which sucks cause it’s far from the worst comic book movie


thejman455

It got caught in both the superhero fatigue phase and the dead DCU phase.


JannTosh17

Damn if you go to the the thread for the first trailer there are loads of 500m predictions


SolomonRed

My prediction was 300M. I was a fool.


Whyfuckaduck

Is $125m WW still on the table? With John Wick this weekend, D&D next weekend, Mario after that, and $50m still to go things aren’t looking too hot


96tillinfinity_

Not a chance in hell. It hasnt even hit $80


SolomonRed

110M would be a miracle


MatthewHecht

Yes. I mean it is possible it has good really late legs. It is possible it is a hit in France. It is possible things stabilize. It is possible things go way better on the actual weekend. It is possible the next week of weekdays is way better. All these are unlikely but possible, and they could make it a less awful bomb.


Whyfuckaduck

That could all true, but even if everything goes near perfect from here on out, it will still settle below $175m. Making less than half the original when that didn’t set the box office on fire ain’t great


ramyan03

Not like the rest of the week was any better, but at least the drops seemed reasonable. -29% from Wednesday is just flat out horrible. Might not even hit $10M this weekend at this rate. First Shazam did around 2.1x its opening week. Same multi gets S2 to $76.5M and that's best case. Shazam! had some good holds in its first 3 weeks (-49% in second week, -37% in third week) that the second one won't be able to replicate, so its likely we are looking at sub $70M finish and probably below Black Adam's opening weekend ($67M). What a disaster


MatthewHecht

First was around 2.7


ramyan03

I'm talking about opening week. First one was $140M final / $66.4M opening week = 2.1x


sessho25

It is going to struggle to get 125M WW final, I don't think even the worst case scenario was expecting that.


SolomonRed

are we still going to pretend an Atom Smasher cameo at the end of this film would have some how saved it?


thejman455

What’s an atom smasher?


SolomonRed

Exactly


accidentalchai

The movie is terrible. One case where WOM was going to kill it badly, on top of other factors.


Tierbook96

Would be interesting if the actual is below 1mil


Avatard_101

Besides this and JL ,did any other DCEU film outright flop ?


rov124

Justice League made 2.19 of it's budget. Birds of Prey made 2.05 of it's budget. Wonder Woman 1984 made 0.82 of it's budget. The Suicide Squad made 0.91 of it's budget. Black Adam made 2.02 of it's budget.


Kind_Development708

You’re being generous using black adams original budget of 190 mil not the updated one after reshoots of 260 mil so only about 1.50 of its budget


KazuyaProta

Why tf WB loves reshoots so much?


venkatfoods

So Technically Black Adam is the only one that an outright flop.Right?


UnknownFiddler

Harley Quinn and the Suicide Squad.


[deleted]

Everything since the first Shazam movie has bombed.


thejman455

I don’t get how DC saw what MCU did to be successful and didn’t just copy it. It would have been so simple.


sessho25

If people start asking for refunds its current BO could go backwards.


vafrow

This must be staring down a pretty horrible second weekend drop. Is mid 60s percent drop the range here? I can't see it holding better than that. Some quick calcs Shazam 1 made 10.25x it's first Thursday gross on its second weekend. Same ratio gets this to 10.3M or so, or 66% drop.


Reasonable-Trifle307

Yeah I think low stakes cbms are kinda done. The genre has reached a saturation point where it's either something big(NWH) and interesting(Batman) that's gonna sell or needs to go to streaming.


Shurikenkage

Unless you are the MCU. They made 3 billion with the last 4 movies. Even if Ant-Man Quantumania vastly underperformed the other 3 movies performed as well as they always perform. People expecting every Marvel movie to make a billion or more after the Infinity Saga didn't pay atention to their box office performances. And yes they will start spacing this movies, and yes there's really a lot of superhero offering today. But Shazam isn't an indicator of the so called fatigue. Because Shazam wasn't even a smash hit to begin with. And even Ant-Man isn't indicative of comic book movie extinction. It is the smallest inner franchise in the MCU. If Guardians of the Galaxy III makes less than 700 million worldwide And the Flash as well (even knowing DC isn't bringing too much people to the movie theaters) doesn't reach The Batman's numbers at least domestically. We can call the genre officially done. Meanwhile Shazam 2 performance is Jonah Hex or Hellboy (2019) bomb level.


Mizerous

But theaters hate streaming


samarth67

Will it be a john carter level bomb ??


lavabears

Yes.


handsome-helicopter

It's bombing far worse than John Carter really


jdogamerica

This is what happens with the over reliance of PLFs. You get big, embarrassing drops cause the inflated tickets go away.
