>Shazam's final box office gross of $363m yielded a net profit (after production budget) of $55m. This makes it the least profitable superhero/comic book movie that actually turned a profit, since X-Men Apocalypse. Which means since 2016, Shazam was only more profitable than Hellboy, Dark Phoenix and Justice League.
>Shazam's domestic haul of $140m is worse than every MCU film except The Incredible Hulk, worse than every DCEU film, worse than literally every Batman film except Batman and Robin (even unadjusted for inflation, this is worse than 1989, 1992 and 1995 Batman films). It's worse than 2005's Fantastic Four, and worse than every single X-Men film except Dark Phoenix and The Wolverine
>Shazam's opening weekend of $53.5m is lower than every MCU and DCEU film. It's worse than even Watchmen's $55m. A hair better than Green Lantern's $53.2m, and only $1m better than Superman Return's $52.5m - a good 13 years earlier. It's OW is worse than every X-Men film except for The Wolverine ($53.1m) and Dark Phoenix ($32.8m)
By the standards of comic book films, Shazam is probably one of the worst performing that wasn't an outright flop. Check the stats for yourself.
Box office autists are the biggest fags in existence

Ryder Scott
DCucks on damage control AHAHAHAHA
David Sanchez
Who cares about anything? Lmao. Why post or discuss in any fucking thread for that matter you autist. School hasnt started yet?
It didnt have any ground to stand on desu. DC is always in a state of flux. Nobody expected aquaman to do so well but I think it sold on its immersive world. Shazam felt like a small scale early 2000 superhero movie. Been there done that. I don't see how it would have ever been massive
Oliver Stewart
>School hasnt started yet? You're the fucking child making capeshit threads and wanting to discuss children's movies.
Ethan Martinez
Yes, you are right. Avaniggers are worst.
Lucas Morgan
Aquaman made more money than Captain Marvel
Easton Wood
It will make a lot of money in reruns on kids channels, censored a bit of course like the board meeting scene.
Evan Butler
>Aquaman made more money than Captain Marvel Nobody wants to see a 2nd Aquaman movie though.
I'm a marvel fan in general but thought Shazam was pretty great and well aimed for its target audience, shame it didn't perform.
Easton Moore
I agree. It's a really comfy movie, heartwarming even.
Lucas Bennett
brie is not cute
Michael Jones
>make more net profit than Ant Man and the Wasp >flop Hard oof from me, bro
Kayden Collins
Except Warner receives 50% of the gate, while Disney 65%. Ant-Man and the Wasp made at least 3x of Shazam.
Jeremiah Gomez
>Ant-Man and the Wasp made at least 3x of Shazam. lol
Jaxon Bell
Can't wait for the sequel
Jose White
>Except Warner receives 50% of the gate, while Disney 65% Sure they do friendo, sure they do
Henry Brown
> Yes, Disney made at least 200 million profit on the movie but let me tell you how Shazam was more successful.
Lucas Baker
> Yes, I can do a quick google search to confirm that Disney's share of box office is bigger than the other studios' share but I'll just pretend to be retarded.
Brandon Hill
I thought it was fun. Reminded me of movies like Hook, just 90s schlock. And it is schlock, full on, with a high enough budget to look "professional".
It wasn't important or phenomenal, it didn't save anyone or prove anything, it was just pretty good and those numbers reflect it. I'd say it's a success. After all of DC's cancer cysts shaped like films I'd just be glade that one of them made profit.
Angel Jenkins
>Disney made at least 200 million profit on the movie Sure they did friend, sure they did
Dylan Bennett
>bought out theaters >no one shows up
I wonder who could be behind this...?
Luke Jenkins
> Sure they did friend, sure they did Yeah, I know, as does everyone else.
> warner buys out theaters > gets destroyed in home media sales You guys can't catch a break, can you?
>making shit up to cover that Shazam made more net profit than Ant Man 2 and Aquaman destroyed Captain Marvel Keep the cringe coming shill I'll be here all day
Luis Gray
No one asked for it
Cameron Murphy
most movies are stuff nobody asked for even most great ones people dont know what they want until they see it
Parker Nguyen
> Shazam made more net profit than Ant Man 2 As we've already established, it made 3-4x less though.
> Aquaman destroyed Captain Marvel You seem to be confused. Aquaman was released in 2018 and got dumpstered by Black Panther.
Owen Bennett
>As we've already established, it made 3-4x less though. Nah we didn't, you tried to COPE but that's it >You seem to be confused Maybe I am, let me check. No, I'm right again Aquaman made more money than Captain Marvel.
Kevin Barnes
Yeah, we did. Otherwise you wouldn't be replying with buzzwords.
> Maybe I am, let me check. No, I'm right again Aquaman made more money than Captain Marvel. Let me check too. Yep, Aquaman was released the same years as Black Panther and made less money. Turns out Disney always wins.
Nathaniel Butler
Ant-Man made double shazam's profit. Cope
Grayson Long
>Let me check too I'm sorry you had to find out like this, I mean Aquaman is kind of a joke character and to see him pissing all over Captain Marvel's cunt face box office wise must have been hard
Jaxon Gonzalez
It's DC's second Christmas themed superhero movie.
Connor Jones
imagine being dumb enough to think that movies are an art form and not business investments. cinema literally only exists for profit
Post New Hollywood and Indie Renaissance there is nothing special about Popular films of today.
Jose Carter
>film made a profit >flop
I do not think people here knows the meaning of the term.
Jackson King
Too bad a beloved character like Aquaman got destroyed by literal whos from BP and then by Captain Marvel, who no one knew even existed before this year.
>beloved character lmao >Captain Marvel I still can't believe Aquaman defeated her and laughed in her face, fucking based if you ask me
Lucas Perry
I have no idea. I liked it. It was wholesome.
Jordan Nelson
OH MY GOD THE KIDS WILL HAVE NIGHTMARES THIS IS NOT A KIDS MOVIE!
fuck off autist
Daniel Rivera
I'm sure the sequel will make more after how well-received this was.
Thomas James
You might be forgetting this one movie from 2018, you know, the year that Aquaman was released. I think it made like 2 or 3 billion. Black Panther, look it up.
> I still can't believe Aquaman defeated her Poor Warner. I guess you can't cheat home media sales by buying out theaters.
>those unit sales Lmao based Aquachad keeps on dabbing on captain flop >cheat Holy COPE
Wyatt Reed
> Made a profit of of $55million > Production costs of $308 million > ROI = 17% Business wise, that's still a win.
> It's a kids movie This. The real audience for superhero films / capeshit is in the 18-30 crowd. Shazam was intended for the under 18 crowd. While it still found the family friendly audience, it won't do as well as the young / disposable income crowd.
Tl;dr: too many kids, not enough tits
Parker Hill
Do you even Jurassic Park?
Bentley Baker
>both made over a billion dollars >one the most well known superhero characters in the world only managed to make 200 million more than a female marvel character nobody cared about until the movie came out fucking embarassing, WB are incompetent
Jace Ortiz
This. BUT WHY
John Miller
Hey, remember BP? It think it made like 4 billion. That's what, 4x more than Aquaman? You still there?
>those unit sales I can't tell what's sadder. That Warner has to sell their garbage at bargain bin prices or that DCucks think that higher expenses for LESS revenue is actually a good thing.
> Holy COPE Not an argument.
Lucas Howard
I would. It was not bad and I wasn't even a big fan of Momoa as Aquaman. Captain Marvel on the other hand, yeah we don't need another one desu.
Oliver Jackson
and yet it was the best DCEU movie and best movie DC put out since the first DK
Caleb Powell
>It think BTFO so hard you can't even write already? No one can blame you, Aquaman made more than Captain Marvel and that's something we all need to learn to live with
Brandon Thomas
This
Box office didn't save Disney from losing you cucks
Brandon Bell
Ant-Man and Shazam are the best movies Cope
Jaxson James
> BTFO so hard you can't even write already? Sorry, user, I meant "I." Let's try this again. Hey, remember BP? I think it made like 4 billion. That's what, 4x more than Aquaman?
Is it more clear now? Any comment?
> Aquaman made more Turns out it didn't. See
Anthony Turner
The movie was cold boogers on a paper plate. Probably the worst shit I've seen in years. DC is truly dead.
Gabriel Gonzalez
cringe
Brody Russell
>announced Sweetie they'll put dr strange or Spider-Man or whatever in there to save it
>the least profitable superhero/comic book movie that actually turned a profit
John Torres
>FLOPzam >wasn't an outright flop You're really desperate.
Bentley Miller
>So what went wrong?? It's a fucking origin movie in 2019. Sorcerer's apprentice at least had Nicolas Cage and wasn't this much of a >muh cinematic universe bullshit.
She needed to gain some weight for Spectacular Now.
Joseph Garcia
Thats sad, it was really good
Jonathan Hernandez
>Paul Rudd is popular Right in the infinity stone, yah?
Grayson Fisher
Not even a DCfag but Shazam was legitimately better than almost anything else Marvel or DC put out recently
Levi Diaz
Yeah, I'm thinking he's a DCfag.
Zachary Ortiz
Asher Angel and Jack Dylan Grazer are insanely handsome.
Jack Parker
Shazam was great, it’s the best comic book films in years. It had heart and soul and focused on its characters instead of cgi punching.
Angel Hall
SHAFLOP HAHAHAHAHA
Ayden Smith
Nothing. It made a modest profit. The movie yielded an almost 20% profit for two years of investment, in any other market that would be seen as a success. Hollywood cant feasibly expect every movie they release to do double+ on the budget, thats just insanity.
Nobody knows who Shazam is, and DC doesn’t have the same brand loyalty as Marvel.
Jack Rodriguez
I liked Shazam except for when all those kids suddenly got super powers and also his friend was an annoying as fuck cunt >dude you should be a total cuck and use your powers to make me look good whenever i want
>his friend was suffering and also displayed envy along with all the other sins that are subtletly influencing the MC's character decisions throughout the movie >even the supporting characters and the villain have a character arc too deep
All capeshit are kids movies, it's just millennials watch them because they are a generation of autistic manchildren.
Christian Reed
>absolute state of OP >absolute state of this thread >absolute state of this board Fucking Zoomer faggots
Sebastian Baker
>“I know that I’m gonna have a conversation with my bosses pretty soon about what the idea is and where we’re going with the new movie, but all I really know is that New Line, our studio, and Warner Brothers, our parent studio, and DC, and our producers and executives and everybody who’s involved in all of the decision making, they’re all very happy with what we did. They want to do even better the second time around, and they are crafting a story right now as we speak about what that sequel is going to be.”
>Made a profit >FLOPZAM So what actually went wrong was Endgames tickets going on sale 2 days before this released all around the world. Bad release date. It was a good movie so I'm glad it didn't bomb
Christian Taylor
Two mirrors, one in front, the other behind.
Luis Young
>It's WB's most profitable film of the year (Until IT 2) >You will still see threads where shitposting anons say WB is going to sell DC
Robert Jackson
>implying the fact that every other non-Disney blockbuster flopped didn't make Shazam's PROFIT look great can't stop winning
They're here to stay and you're just gonna have to cope. Why don't you go back to r/truefilm and circlejerk over Citizen Kane with the fellow "patricians" over there?
Christian Richardson
Imagine if they actually marketed it and released it at Christmas so it didn't have to compete with fucking endgame
Wyatt Reyes
>!!!FACT!!! how stupid do you feel trying to force this meme and you're stil the only one doing it
Camden Anderson
Or released it now when there's nothing to compete with. I guess there was New Mutants but I would have taken my chances against that than the fucking death slot WB put it in.
Julian Lee
What would it be competing with at Christmas?
Aiden Lee
Star Wars and Jumanji 2
Jackson Lewis
Jumanji and Star Wars
Logan Baker
Jumanji 3* I guess
Jason Parker
Honestly is Star Wars really big competition anymore?
Isaac Richardson
Accept me Yea Forums I'm releasing videos of me on the tub for acceptance. PLEASE NOTICE ME SEMPAI!
