    I don’t get the concern over Shazam’s box office.  The sequel has already been greenlit. Does the box office really matter?

    It's a dick measuring contest ...

     

     

    ... so of course it matters. :P

     

    ... but yeah, they're going to make a Black Adam movie ... and a sequel, so it really doesn't matter for the people who liked it.

     

    I mean hell, Tomb Raider is getting a fucking sequel. lol

  2. Boy, I'm really digging the new thing where we have a bunch of new members with letter/color boxes who seem to be completely negative about anything related to a DC property and praise anything related to Marvel in every thread. lol

     

    I mean, it's nothing new ... but weird that we just got inundated with new ones in the last month or so.

     

    Good domestic #, unfortunate overseas # ... whatever.

  3. 5.9 is a very solid # for the movie.  Probably would have done closer to 8 without the preview showing on 23rd.   Neighborhood of 50 million+ is good.

     

    It's not a 'bomb', it's not a huge success, it's simply solid ... and given it's budget, that's all it really had to be for WB/New Line.

  4. Well, it would be nice if it climbed closer to 5, but whatever ... expecting that will have close to 45 total (including the 3.3 special screenings) after Sunday.  In other words, probably pretty close to tracking.  Disappointing, but not unexpected.  Just couldn't break out in this crazy window ... but the movie is awesome, so hopefully people spread good word of mouth in US/Canada.

  5.  

    Don't even care what it makes this weekend, because this film will find an audience at some point either in theaters or for audiences at home and we'll get a sequel that does much better, because it's absolutely fantastic.  All these characters are so fun to cheer on and get behind.   Darla & Freddy are such standouts, but Zachary Levi is the perfect Shazam.  A

    My kids are more into marvel as well. But since they saw Aquaman and it was almost on the same level as IW for them they’re ok now. Now they actually asked to see Shazam last month. 

     

    The internet/social media/YouTube is an awful place and turns people who are easily influenced into sheep ( not calling your kids that of course, just saying).

    There is a stigma at times, but at the end of the day in spite of it, most people are still going to the movies (ESPECIALLY if they're good) ... box office proves it ... WW domestic # is better than Civil War and every Iron Man solo movie ... and will likely finish ahead of CM ... Aquaman worldwide is higher than any film from Marvel that's not either Black Panther or a film featuring Iron Man. 

     

    Shazam is tricky due to the nature of the film (more of a kids film/lower budget) so we'll see but the franchise still averaging 320/819 un-adjusted through 6 films.

     

    Of course ... the argument could be made that if ALL the films were competently made, those box office #s would probably be over 400/1+ billion ... as characters like Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman should have a high end much more than where they're at right now.

  7. I don't think you can really do a Suicide Squad movie without having Deadshot & Captain Boomerang as their back and forth interaction is integral in so many comics and other versions of the team.

     

    Also, it's probably the best thing I've seen Jai do (as I didn't watch Spartacus)
     

    Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, Harley Quinn, King Shark ... and a 2-3 other expendables.
