” family to weigh in on the film bombing at the box office. The DC tentpole earned just $30 million in its domestic box office debut, well below the $53 million the original “Shazam!” opened with in 2019 and a huge financial loss considering “Fury of the Gods” cost north of $110 million to make and another $100 million to market. Levi heads the franchise as the eponymous superhero.
“There is no denying that at the moment there are many Snyder fans who are happy for the failure of your film and many of them wish that everything that is to come fails just for not continuing with the films of their director,” one fan wrote to Levi on Twitter. Not only did “Fury of the Gods” whiff at the box office, but it also struck out with critics. The sequel currently boats a 53% on Rotten Tomatoes.
They alienated a fanbase with far more fans and money To make the 'perfect Family Movie' and not enough interested families to cover barely 20% of a measly 100 million cost.
I just don’t think that’s the case. He’s acting like people aren’t aware it’s a family film and it’s being marketing like it’s Saw X. Everybody knows it’s out, it’s just it didn’t really need to be made - the first movie was a perfectly contained family flick.
🤮🤮🤮👎
It’s nice to see the Snyderverse fanatics being shown to be the scornful bullies that they’ve always been.
MAGoof stuck in his endless cycle of victimization
How about not having half as many different screening formats as the first movie did? wbd ShazamMovie
These hit pieces are just sad at this point. Petty, desperate, and sad. Dear DCU execs... Shazam 2's box office performance is ON YOU! ENOUGH! Go to Zack Snyder's home... ring the doorbell... get on your knees... BEG HIM FOR FORGIVENESS... AND BRING HIM BACK!!!

It's hard to sell Shazam as a kids movie when black Adam was so clearly trying not to be one
Marketing 😂😂😂😂😂
You’re part of the problem, Zach! 😄
It's got a lot of murder for a perfect family movie, but hea right, WB just left it out there to flounder on it's own, didn't even get a Superbowl Ad spot
Please, Zachary, take a vacation. Rest ur mind, it's a lot, I know .
Antivax Deadpool wannabe wonders why ratings are low
Agree!
Ah maybe it’s just people aren’t interested
No, buddy. The issue is, the movie is crap. Take the L.
A lot of people just weren't interested in seeing it. He can spin it and try to lay blame all day. This was also the case with Black Adam...people weren't interested.
Marketing?! I saw trailers for this damn movie every 30sec. I don’t think anyone knows what marketing is…. Everyone is blaming everything but maybe, no one wanted to see this movie 🤷🏾♂️
That is true, the marketing was awful 🤣
I think denial might be biggest issue.
misterfilmstock Or 'The biggest issue is the DCEU is an absolute train wreck'
Maybe comic book movie fans aren't interested in family friendly movies. Maybe we're looking for something more mature.
The biggest issue you are having is insulting the fanbase. Post snydercut release, Levi had one job only for success, apologize to the SC community. But he stuck to his ego guns so he gets what he gets.
It’s a perfect movie 😂😂😂😂😂😂
give the fans the ending of the snyderverse comic! it's so difficult?
I've been a fan of Snyder since Dawn. My happiness doesn't revolve around Levi conservative opinions or box office results. I support David Sandberg with or without superhero films too.
Or maybe it's the fact that you were sharing anti-vax conspiracy theories. 🤔
Why is wbpictures & party so petty. They'll f*ck over talent & they will happily antagonize their fans, no wonder they're on the slumps
ZacharyLevi JamesGunn wbd wow really? Toxic fans had enough power to make a film bomb? When does the toxicity become majority? And when does that toxicity start being respected as what the fans want? What makes your vision better than ours?
Its what Louis CK refers to as “the glowing orb” trope.
Should blame himself for being loud anti-vaccine trump supporter
I enjoyed the heck out of it!
Blame everything expect the messy rollout and the fact that no one knows where these characters are going post this.
I saw it last Thursday n I think the biggest issue is the quality of the film….marketing won’t save it
I think the issue is you, Zach.
I've seen it and thoroughly enjoyed it. As did my 10-year old son. It's entertaining and doesn't take itself too seriously. Not sure why all the hate!
This why you don’t give toxic fans what they want! wbpictures warnerbros JamesGunn DCOfficial wbd
Shazam is a very mediocre movie, please stop blaming marketing.
If movie is bad, marketing can't help.
They advertised the hell out of this movie and it’s all wrapped around family. Forget about the fact that it seems it’s not going to make what the original made so even fans of the 1st aren’t showing up so it could be that people just aren’t interested. Hard pill to swallow
Also, people are done with the DCEU.
or maybe it's him being antivaxx, or him making fun of victims of abuse, or his transphobia re: the joe rogan appearance, or just the movie not holding any purpose or interest with everything being rebooted anyway.
I went to the first one was hyped for it and even went to the second one on Thursday night. MAYBE SHAZAM IS NOT WHAT THE CASUAL AUDIENCE WANTS.
At this point Levi and WB will throw anyone under the bus but themselves. 🤭
We tired of family movies , we want quality movies that can help grow the superhero genre
Let’s also not forget the last one was bad and it’s even more expensive to go to this one. I don’t blame people for skipping it.
How is that? Snyder fans were a minority, right? Something only in Twitter environment, right? But, now they are the ones to blame for a movie flop? A lot of Snyder Fans are happy with Shazam. Critics (from Rotten tomatoes) are not Snyder Fans and did not like the movie, so…
BlankSamuel I mean when the movie studio is both run by Zaslav who keeps making it worse & is so broke yet putting all their chips in on The Flash being their money maker despite everything around it, it’s a miracle they themselves even knew Shazam 2.
Or viewers are tired that Disney/Marvel and DC monopolized theaters for the past decade with the superhero genre adding zero variety to the mix.
The marketing seemed to be horrible for this
And who's responsible if a department is not doing his job? Isn't that supposed to be the boss ?
Quite frankly, I’m not a fan of going to the movies anymore. It’s too ‘people-y’, I can’t pause it, and the popcorn and drinks are ridiculously overpriced. But when Shazam! Fury of the Gods comes to cable, I’m 💯 in! Loved the first one! ZacharyLevi 😊 Shazam!
Lol blame everything on Snyder..... But but Snyder's fan are in minority😆..they aren't DC fans😝. So ehy's Shazam 2 a huge flop.....Snyder's one tweet made more hype than Shazam 2😂😂😂 cry harder😆
Doesn't matter. Warner Bros gotta put the DCEU in RICE.
Maybe because the first Shazam was average at best, then the new DC bosses announced some sort of reset to the DC film universe - hence making people think Shazam 2 & aquaman 2 are not worth watching as they are from previous continuity.
*anytime a DC movie flops* “Real DC fans”:
Maybe it was his Joe Rogan appearance idk
This is why DC fails...a complete divide and no one is trying to fix anything. Just blame someone else. WB is the one and only problem. Im a Snyder Fan and I Love ZL and his Shazam movies.
Shazam flops Levi:
James Gunn announcing a new reboot totally had NOTHING to do with it 💀. Flash will succeed due to the scale of it. Everything else is gonna bomb.
No Rock no me
So when are the producers going to figure out that they ruined Shazam with all the woke nonsense?
I had no idea this movie was even out, which is the case for a lot of movies. Marketing for films is freaking horrible. Streaming services should have a ‘coming soon to theaters’ section for ppl to willingly watch trailers since they can pay to opt out of commercials.
marketing? I saw a billion ads for that movie well over a month before it came out. I think they did a lot of marketing
I enjoyed Shazam2 way more then Man Of Steel and BVSSupes
Those Zack Synder bots & fans are the worst!!
Yeah mr Levi
Those “fans” are like weird cult followers that make this industry extremely toxic.
