No. Ftr I don't think Shazam 2 is going under 80.

All this stuff with Shazam is so depressing, I like Sandberg a lot, feel bad for him that all these changes happened and WB has other focuses now. I hope the movie turns out well and it can at least make like 100m domestic. 

[Krissykins]

If Shazam 2 even makes it to $35m, I could see it still finishing under $80m. 
 

I also can’t see Flash doing $80m opening day either.

The flash 2 will be fast-tracked asap if this blows up

Shazam 2 test screenings were bad. I saw 3 people who rated it very low on LB.

 

The rumors about The Flash test screening being good are indeed true. But if you believe the claims about being better than The Dark Knight or on the same level... well, I think you're in for a rude awakening lol

The very very few users I've seen who logged TF on Letterboxd (I follow a bunch of reliable people who are always attending test screenings) haven't ranked it above The Batman, which came out less than a year ago. But you never know with the GP, when they consider those Avengers movies better than TDK so to be fair you can't rule that out lol

I wouldn't ever rate a movie on LB until I've seen the finished product. Temp music/VFX/missing inserts/etc. can be a huge stain on an initial assessment, speaking as someone who works as Head of Development at a small production company and frequently attends (and hosts) test screenings.

lol the general public doesnt consider any avengers movie better than the iconic the dark knight.

As someone who attended a few test screenings before, including for an upcoming superhero movie, I agree with all that and I don't want to risk getting sued.

Agreed.

 

fwiw I didn't hear SHAZAM 2 test screenings were bad, just that it was over-long and not as good as the first. But everyone I know who saw it still thought it was at least kind of fun. I know it's a good 20-30 minutes shorter than it was during early test screenings so I hope that smooths over most of the issues.

That's some good intel, which I promise to keep in this thread and this thread only 😉

 

I think Shazam 2 is bound for financial disappointment, but I hope it can at least receive decent reception. 70s on RT would be enough imo. I adore the first movie - think it's one of the best written CBMs of the past 6-7 years

same, but none of the firsts charm seems present in this one (at least from what the trailers show)

Has anyone said this is a masterpiece? Maybe @ViewerAnoncan correct me if I’m wrong but I believe all that was said was it was DC best tested movie since the dark knight, not that it’s as good as the dark knight or anything. I think it was just a crowd pleaser and that’s probably why the movie tested well and WB is confident. Maybe some sites have ran some BS articles but all I remember reading is WB is confident in this and it has tested well.

Quote

And lucky for fans, The Flash might provide the old DCU with a proper farewell, as the film is reportedly excellent. As Gunn puts it:

“Can I say one more thing? The Flash is fucking amazing. Like it's one of the best superhero movies I've ever seen. [Director] Andy Muschietti did an amazing job.”

 

Blame Gunn, my friend — Blame Gunn.

 

("one of the best" ≠ "better than Dark Knight", mind)

((Game of Telephone at its finest, really))

Gosh, it's almost as if there was a point to test screenings, or sumthin'.  

[teard1972]

Kara is sickly cool. that heat vision scene is simply insane. 

This is the first DC movie that I got pumped up for since WW84, hope the aftertaste is sweet this time around,
