Shazam 2 Now Tracking for Worst Openings In DCEU History

Shazam! Fury of the Gods is expected to perform poorly in its opening weekend, with some of the worst numbers in DC Extended Universe history, according to new projections.

Box Office Pro predicts that the film will earn between $43 million and $52 million in its opening weekend, and between $101 million and $130 million in total domestically. This would put it behind its predecessor, 2019's Shazam!, which opened to $53.5 million in its first weekend and went on to earn $140.5 million domestically. With the exception of the pandemic releases Wonder Woman 1984 and The Suicide Squad, the only DCEU title Fury of the Gods is expected to outperform is Birds of Prey (2020), which grossed $33 million in its first weekend and $84 million domestically.
