DC won't ever get the upper hand again in the comic book movie lanscape at least not in this century. Even if they managed to have a string of critically successful movies it won't add up to anything close to the universe which the competition has built up and continues to keep building. They have missed the boat but there's nothing wrong with being 2nd.
I'm thinking this might set off a Black Adam based trilogy with all those characters involved. If BA becomes successful I don't think WB/DC and especially The Rock will want to star in a one off as a villain in a Shazam sequel given the kind of power The Rock holds as an actor.
I'd like to see how they pull off naked giant human beings for the titans for a PG 13 movie. I assume they'll do it similar to that japanese live action AoT one?
Looks like this thread will also have to be added to the daily thread closing cycle. At least let me get my opinion in before the lock. 20-24M Midnights, yep my 200M OW prediction is about to come true!
Even with better marketing it would still not live up to it's potential as it has 2 juggernaut comic book movies in CM before it and Endgame after it. They should've released this movie in August instead which would have been absolutely perfect release spot for this type of movie.
I think bumblebee numbers for this should be good enough. This costs less than Bumblebee too under 100M whereas Bumblebee cost 135M, so anywhere in that vicinity should be good enough for it.
I don't know about that comparison, this movie seems more accessible to general audiences than EoT. It feels more along the lines of Bumbleebee or spiderverse.
I'm thinking this might be Bumblebee 2019 if the reviews indeed hold true to these early reactions come review embargo drop time on RT. It might do a bit better than Bumblebee as that movie is known for being tied to the failing TF franchise.
