Shazam: Fury of the Gods ‘Disappoinment’

Walt

The Shazam sequel opened the week of March 15,2023, to $30,111,158 over the opening weekend. That is about 23,500,000 less than Shazam! (2019) opening of $53,505,326 on April 3 of that year. This performance does not bode well for James Gunn and Peter Safran, named Co-Chairmen and CEOs of DC Studios, green lighting a Shazam 3 in the future plans of the DCU. Some wonder if the film was as good as the original movie, but most agree it was on par with the first Shazam release. So is this…
