"Shazam! Fury of the Gods" felt the fury of the marketplace in its theatrical debut this weekend. The New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. superhero movie opened to a disappointing $30.5 million from 4,071 theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday.
The "Shazam!" sequel fell short of its modest expectations ($35 million) as well as the first film in the series ($53.5 million in April 2019), and earned a place on the very low end of modern DC comics movie launches, between "Birds of Prey" ($33 million in February 2020) and "The Suicide Squad" ($26.2 million in August 2021), both of which were R-rated.
