Shazam 2’s opening box office ‘failure’ sparks debate among DC fans
Neither the trailer for Shazam 2 nor was the film itself well-received, and both fared poorly in their respective opening weeks. The 2023 film has earned just $3.4 million as of Thursday’s screening day, “Midnight.”
To put things in perspective, the first Shazam The film, released in 2019, grossed $9.2 million at the box office Shazam 2 barely earned a third of it.
Many panned the film for its lackluster story, substandard computer animation, and unimpressive visual effects. Compared to a typical DC Comics superhero film, the film suffers from a lower budget, which is reflected in the final product. Several fan-made explanations have been put forward for the film’s poor reception, including general disillusionment with Warner Bros. and Hollywood.
