I think this looks great, but I am starting to fear that this could go the way of The Suicide Squad at the box office.

 

I feel the same. Gives me major Dark Phoenix vibes.

trailer views don't seem that good

The first trailer was decent. This new one was terrible. Entirely devoid of the charm that made the first Shazam! a surprise treat. Now it looks like another overly dramatic grey-tinged cgi festival.

 

I'm not saying I think it's going to be a bad movie (I'm staying hopeful) as much as I'm saying I think this marketing approach isn't the right take for this property. Unless it actually is reflective of the film, in which case... Ouch.

 

Either way, I'd say right now I'm thinking $45m OW, $115m DOM, $300m WW. And those are respectable numbers (but not impressive enough to warrant Gunn's attention) if the $125m budget reported last summer by Rolling Stone holds up. Prior to this new trailer, I was thinking it would match the first film. Now, I don't see it. And if the rest of the marketing follows this approach, I'd go lower. I just don't see this being what fans of the first film wanted.

 

 

If it makes 115m domestic I would say it would be lower worldwide. The reception of the first in many international markets didn't seem that strong

27/85 DOM total

120M OS total.

 

I just don't see who is going to see this or why would they. This is gonna tank in a proportion people will never forget.

Do the DC execs at WB have like a rubble quotient? Some massive contract with a CGI company they are required to give so much work to? So many of their movies have a potentially good story that just winds up getting buried under piles of debris from endless minutes of flying through/knocking down generic buildings

 

The ones that really didn't fall into that trap were Wonder Woman, Aquaman (harder to do under water) and Shazam. But from the looks of the last trailer, the last one might be headed that way now. Can only hope this is just a marketing strategy, to try to draw in the casual "want to watch shit blow up" crowd, and not necessarily reflective of the actual movie

didnt THAT cameo get cut?

It seems he's speaking with THAT cameo in the trailer at 00:55

Shouldn't covid protocols/insurance have cause the budget to have ballooned up quite a bit? 

[ChipDerby]

From what I could find on Google, as of August 2022 the budget was reportedly only $125 mil.

That's what tempered my excitement for this. It's just a bunch of Transformers-esque grey crap in piles on the screen. Even the new Transformers trailer looks better than this trailer.

While I find the first one pretty overrated, it was still one of the better DCEU movies at its time after Aquabro. Wonder if all the positive acclaim of the first made Sandberg and WB overconfident for the sequel. Something that also happened to WW84.

[TigerPaw]

Not the best trailer. CGI fest (remains me of Shang Chi's terrible 3rd act)..

 

Plus the huge revamp of casts / stories of the DC universe..

 

I don't think this will do well even though I believe that the film will be good.

Sounds like his meeting with Gunn didn't go well, and he's taking his mask off for good now that his mainstream Hollywood career is over. Have fun doing shitty Christian/Daily Wire slop!
