It's not tanking. The budget for this film wasn't anything crazy. It should finish at 150, domestically, and 400 WW.
WB did a poor job with the marketing, IMO.

The production budget is listed at $100 Million.

I thought it came in above the expectations . . .
It didn’t cost a ton (relatively speaking) compared to other superhero movies.

Zach Levi's arse is way too voluptuous. If anything we have learned that captain marvel needs a flatter behind to cut down on wind shear. He just isn't realistic as that type of superhero

You know better. And you're better than this.

I think it was a mistake releasing this so close to Endgame. People already have their fill of superheroes at the moment

bad timing

DC’s track record is spotty and not being able to call it Captain Marvel probably makes people go “Shazam!? Shaq’s doing a sequel to the genie movie?”
Hell, I’m a big comics fan and I wasn’t even aware this was coming out until right before it dropped.

I honestly don't. It had good word of mouth, strong critical reception, solid audience scores, follows Aquaman and Wonder Woman which both performed well...

The movie may be fine, but I have no interest in the character. I think Marvel having their whole universe intertwined is why their lesser known character's movies do well. Just my opinion though.

Shazam appears to be a comic relief super hero movie like Ant Man. Ant Man made $180 Domestic and $519 WW. It's not like every comic book movie is going to get close to the $1 Billion mark.

How is this a tank again? Based on week one, it dropped 54% to week 2. Perfectly normal. Obviously it will have difficult staying power with endgame coming but it’s still a solid showing. Tank is too strong.

I had never heard of Shazam! and went into the movie expecting mostly a spoof of other superhero movies and left very entertained and wanting a continuation of the story. I liked this movie better than any Superman or Hulk movie.

They should have waited until the summer to release it.

Maybe I should have said "underperforming", but I was honestly just shocked it was under it's production budget after 2 weekends.

It has done well enough to get a green light for a sequel. DC is on the right track with Shazam!, Aquaman, and WW.

'Shazam!' Is No More A Box Office Bomb Than 'Ant-Man' Or 'The Wolverine'
quote:
...if you count the film’s sneak previews ($3.3 million two weeks before opening day) in the debut weekend numbers (as I do, since anyone who showed up two weeks early would otherwise have seen the film on opening weekend), then it’s a 55.8% drop from a $56.8 million debut, which still makes it about as leggy as The Winter Soldier or Venom (-56% from an $80 million launch). Point being, despite some weak weekday holds (save for a 61% bounce on Tuesday), Shazam! is doing squarely “fine.”
Again, we’re dealing with a $90 million-budgeted superhero flick opening right between Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame. This was never going to do Justice League or Man of Steel numbers, let alone Aquaman or Wonder Woman grosses. What it proved for Warner Bros. was that DC Films could make three winning solo superhero movies in a row and that they could make a qualitative winner from a comparatively cult-level character.
And with a probable domestic finish just over/under Mad Max: Fury Road's $153 million finish, and a worldwide finish probably over/under $385 million worldwide (it earned $61 million global over the weekend), it’s a relative success.

I believe in this as well.
