My point is that there was originally more breathing room before Endgame.

I hope it gets Wonder Woman-level drops for the next two weeks at least, even if it doesn't open big. Definitely DC's best film in a while

This could have done great business regardless of Avengers. I really don't think people are unable to see two films in a month, especially since they're 3 weeks apart.

But they aren't really.  Cause if you didn't buy tickets for EG this on Tuesday, you weren't seeing it in three weeks.

Yes let's wait until the weekend before we do the whole WWW with Shazam stuff. But can't deny early OS results are worrisome.

[Mulder]

Shazam's a small scale family comedy without much action. It's not the kind of OS smash hit in the making.

reading the international threads has me thinking Captain Marvel domestic over Shazam WW?

I'm sure that's gonna make a lot of users on here very happy

So WB finally makes a lighthearted family friendly superhero movie with great reviews only for it to get rejected lol

[cax16]

I’m not saying Shazam is dead before the weekend or anything cause I was never predicting big numbers for it to begin with. I’m just saying I think the release date could of been better. We all knew EG would get large hype but I’m not sure anyone realistically thought it would be that crazy and CM got crazy hype as well.

 

It’s just unfortunate timing and it is what it is. It’s being released and I’m glad I get to see it a few more times this weekend. I’m most disappointed at the reactions overseas from audiences, I was hoping they would like it a bit more but again, it is what it is.

Nice job with the release date WB.  The continuing mismanagement of DC by WB is flat out pathetic at this point.

It is what it is regarding BO but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved genuine feel movie gave to me. Right up there with WW as the best of DC.

Except no-one is blaming Marvel? Everyone is blaming WB marketing for their incompetence?

Check the china box office thread. I disagree

Hopefully they bring in the Rock for the sequel which should help its OS prospects.

The Rock is gonna be the weakest part of the ensemble for Shazam Too based on his work output thus far. I guess he could always surprise everyone

My bananas had CM on the sticker. I call that marketing.

I mean, Endgame wasn't scheduled to be released at the end of April until they released the teaser at the end of last year. It was originally going to be released at the beginning of May. 

Anyone paying attention knew Avengers 4 would move up as soon as IW did. If WB couldn’t figure that out it’s on them.

Eh. At the very least, he'd bring more buzz than this film has elicited thus far. I'm sure the sequel could at least open big (bigger than the first, for sure) with his name attached. Many will be curious to see him as BA.

WB's marketing for Shazam was fine. Better than fine even, having seen it I'd say they 100% put the funniest parts in the trailers. I just don't think it's a particularly appealing concept as far as CBMs go, and yes EG is burying any chance for it to generate any buzz. No one in the GA really gives two craps about any movie not named EG right now.

I agree I think marketing was fine as well, but a lot of others don’t think it was good and at this point it doesn’t really matter to even argue about it tbh. 

 

EG tickets are most definitely hurting Shazam this week/weekend a bit. Tickets are still selling strong. Had the tickets gone on sale next Tuesday instead of this week it would of been a little different for opening weekend imo. But fair play, Marvel is allowed to put ticket sales on whenever they want.
