    It did so unbelievably poorly it almost looks looks like a major breaking point because I can't recall a big budget DC/Marvel movie that did around 100 mln worldwide (minus some movies that didn't have a proper release because of Covid) since Catwoman days.

     

    Yes, it did do poorly. But for unique reasons:

     

    1. Even among people who liked the first Shazam movie, I don't think there was a lot of clamor for a sequel. The novelty of "Big with Superheroes" was no longer there. The lackluster reviews were the final nail in the coffin. 

     

    2. The character of Shazam had no subsequent appearances past his first movie so there was almost nothing to keep him in audience purview. And unlike The Flash, Shazam is not well known enough among mainstream audiences to makeup for his lack of appearances. 

     

    3. March was super crowded. Older teens went to John Wick 4 or Scream 6. Families just waited until Mario or just saw Puss in Boots. 

     

    But even putting that aside, the failure of Shazam 2 has no bearing on The Flash.
