director David Sandberg reacted to the disappointing box office number for his newly released sequel.
Sadly,Fury of the Godshadthe worst domestic opening Thursday of any DCEU film to date.
The movie came in just belowBirds of Preys $4.0 million with a measly $3.4 million.

Needless to say, its a disappointing debut forZachary Leviand the rest of theShazam Family.
The director himself doesnt seem all too surprised about it all.

Why Did Shazam: Fury of the Gods Underperform?
Much like David F. Sandberg, most fans arent too surprised byShazam!
Fury of the Gods' underperformancethough, hes likely not very fond of calling it a flop.
For one,the films reviews didnt do it any favor, with the project sinking into Rotten territory.
More prevalent, however, are two factors completely independent of the projects quality.
For one, the marketing was subpar at best.
Most general audiences probably didnt have any idea that the character was set to have a sequel this month.
Then, most importantly, theres the topic ofJames Gunns big DCU reboot.
With its shadow looming large, many feel that these last few DCEU films simply dont matter.
Sadly, this also means that thefuture of Zachary Levis Shazamremains a big question mark.
Hopefully,Gunncan offer some sort of information regarding the heros fate sooner rather than later.
Fury of the Godsis now playing in theaters worldwide.
