In comparison, its closest competitor was “Shazam! Fury of the God” saw a staggering 69 percent drop.
It’s projected to net just $9 million in its second weekend.
More on this story via Western Journal:
The plight of “Shazam 2” echoes that of fellow superhero movie “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” which experienced a historic 70 percent dropoff in its second week.
So, what does this all mean?
It could mean many different things, but nothing good for Disney and Warner Brothers, the parent companies of Marvel and DC, respectively.
Before that, it is worth noting that “John Wick 4” actually put itself at an immediate handicap compared to the two aforementioned superhero movies: It’s rated R. That distinction alone cuts off the film from swaths of potential moviegoers simply because minors will need parental accompaniment to view the movie. No such restriction is in place for “Ant-Man” or “Shazam.”
