the first Shazam movie sucked

Yall stay gassing these wack ass dc movies into putting out a flop sequel. Aqua man is up next

You remember. I saw back when the first one came out mad posters were saying it was mad good. I was like wtf did we watch the same movie. I saw the same sh*t in the Black Adam thread. Giving weird passes to mediocre DC movies repeatedly.

And Wonder Woman and Aqua Man. All those movies are trash

and im not even a DC hater like that, i liked Man of Steel and i think Flash looks amazing. It’s just mad obvious people were thirsty to jump out and give any dc movie that wasnt extremely bad a pass

John Wick Sits Atop the High Table with Franchise High $73.5M Opening: Weekend Box Office Results (Mar. 24-26)​

---

John Wick: Chapter 4 is here and it's number 1. It's $73.5 million opening marks a new franchise high. It's an impressive feat now because every John Wick sequel has opened better than the preceding entry. John Wick opened with $14.4M, John Wick 2: $30.4 and John Wick 3: $56.8M. That means that John Wick: Chapter 4's opened 29.4% higher than John Wick: Chapter 3. If it has the same 3.01 multiplier over its run that Chapter 3 had (finished with $171M) then Chapter 4 will top out at $221.2M. If it jumps 85.9% like JW3 jumped over JW2's $92M, then it'll finish with $317.8M. Yeah that's obviously unlikely.

One thing I know for sure though, you don't doubt the Baba Yaga. Chapter 4 has an A CinemaScore so word of mouth is even better than the previous two entries which both received A- scores. And its 95% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes is up from Chapter 3's 86%. Things are only looking up for the Boogeyman.

Battling back from a 3rd round finish last week was Creed III, taking 2nd place with $10.4M. It's now crossed $140.8M. Impressive considering all the hullabaloo with Jonathan Majors and the alleged assault he got caught up with. From the Council of Kang to the Cancel of Kang? Not yet.

Shazam 2 tumbled down to 3rd place with $9.7M. A cool little 67.8% decline. Shazam 1 only eased by 54.3% in it's second week and finished in first place. As it stands its $46.3 million running total is 13.5% less than Shazam's $53.5M opening.

S C R E A IVI fell to fourth place with $8.4M. That was a 51.5% decline which was more than SCREAM's 40.8% drop in its third weekend when it brought in $7.2M. That's a 23.2% difference between the two in their third week declines. Despite the dip in performance, S C R E A IVI's $89.8M running total has now passed SCREAM's $81.6M total.

Rounding out the top 5 was 65 with $3.25M. It's now grossed $27.8M domestically and $49M globally. So it's now grossed 53.8% of its $91M production budget. Let's see if 65 can get to 65% of its budget.

Well deserved

Wick should still be at number 1 next weekend. Even tho D&D is getting decent wom, can't see it taking that top spot.

Just movie after movie coming out over the next few weeks.

Also can yall finally sticky this thread

Shazam is an example of how the studios don't get it.

The issue is not superhero movies...its shytty superhero movies with no connection to the greater storyline or plot

Shazam 1 was actually good too. Good family movie and message behind it. Superhero BIG joint in a way.

This one didn't even look interesting to be honest. A cameo of him showing up at the end of Black Adam would have made MUCH MORE SENSE but we know how Rocky fukked that up.

Superhero fatigue is real

I haven’t even watched Thor or black panther yet and it’s on D+


I’m tired of all that shyt

 

[Rekkapryde]

And Wonder Woman and Aqua Man. All those movies are trash

and im not even a DC hater like that, i liked Man of Steel and i think Flash looks amazing. It’s just mad obvious people were thirsty to jump out and give any dc movie that wasnt extremely bad a pass

Most like Aquaman and WW looking at user feedback. I loved both.

WW84 is cheeks.
Josstice League is cheeks.

Shazam 1 was def good to me and most.

Wakanda Forever was a money thing. I don't know why they were so pressed to make another one so fast. It's obvious the people wanted a recasting.

 

[Lootpack]

It would be a step in the right direction if Marvel looked at this situation and said “Well shoot, perhaps we really do need to evolve our approach to filmmaking.”

It’s a shame that DC is sucking ass as well at the moment because that competition could’ve added even more fire on the side of Marvel. I think they’ll end up bouncing back with GOTG3 and despite all the pump faking damage control these past couple months, they’ll probably just go back to their old ways like nothing happened.

Was it any good

 

[Rekkapryde]

Only Superhero movie I'm looking forward to is Flash. I can wait on streaming for the rest.


edit: And of course Spiderverse 2

 

[Rekkapryde]

Was it any good

They did the best they could, but the lack of TChalla was clearly felt.
