Even though Shazam didn't set the BO on fire, it had a very good reception from critics and audience. That's why it's getting a sequel. They know there's potential there. If Black Adam does average numbers, that combined with a supposedly mediocre reception, puts it in danger of not getting the sequel. But let's wait before we bury it

One problem is that Black Adam costs 200 million, twice as much as Shazam. Which means if it does as well as Shazam..which grossed 366 million...it still loses money since the studio only gets roughly half the box office take.

And since money is very tight at Warners,and likely to be so for the forseeable future, I think a lot of iffy sequels which might have got green lit before will not get green lit now.

We might wel lsee Black Adam again, but  I doubt it will be in a solo film.

Very few of the superhero movies make profit from theatrical box office alone though.   
 

Shang Chi was thrown around as a comparison earlier. That cost $150-200m and made $430m. Isn’t that allegedly getting a sequel?

Shang chi was very well received and MCU films almost always make more on sequels. Something you cant say about this or DC films.

Shang Chi also had COVID excuse.

Top Crotics on RT is 30% and a 4.5/10 rating lol. That’s pretty close to shit tier. Justice League was a 23% and 4.7/10 with Top Critics

Shang Chi (Almost Certainly) Gave Disney a Financial Loss...

 

I can't say I'm sad about the (likely) Black Adam Flop, this will be good because it will show studios that the general public doesn't give a f#c# about fanboys' opinions on social media, and  trying to please fanboys online (like The Rock did) ), doesn't work.

Shang-Chi was considered a solid win?

I mean it's a bit chalk and cheese. I can't remember who said it, but it was a WB executive who said there are two types of hits - critical and financial.

 

Black Adam needs to be a financial success, Shang Chi didn't necessarily.

Have not seen Black Adam but your first place and last place are my top 2 lol, don't know what that will mean for my enjoyment of Black Adam.

 

As for the rest I thought MoM was fine, Superpets was cute and funnier than I thought I would be, couldn't make it through Morbius.

BA is miles better than MoM... genuinely..honestly.

 

My wife walked out of MoM yet she enjoyed BA. Maybe expectations were different but my theater didn't clap at MoM..

I don’t want to derail the thread too much but I despised Thor, literally like bottom tier cbm ever for me. I’m glad you enjoyed though. 
 

Black adam is just a dumb fun action movie. I get the criticism but it was fun for me. 

[Minnale101]

I thought this was a mindless fun movie 

 

like a fast and furious type 

 

that’s just me though but I love action

I liked MoM more than most I think.

Sorry ahead of time to @Eric Adam and the mods if things go sideways now. My bad. I wasn’t trying to stir anything up.
