This is how Black Adam, Shazam!
Fury of the Gods, and The Flash stopped the DCEU from finishing strong.
Every movie seems to have a director’s cut that fans prefer.
Tone and connectivity are about as inconstant as whoWarner Bros. has making the decisions.
This is to account for marketing, distribution, and other various costs along with making the movie.
All box office information is provided byIMDBPro.
1.)
Black Adamwill be mostly remembered for the post-credits cameo appearance ofHenry Cavill’sSuperman.
Unfortunately, DC forgot to make a competent movie around it.
2.)
The long and short of it is that virtuallyno one sawShazam!
Fury of the Gods.
Promotion being a major factor once again, the trailers forShazam!
2largely leaned on the established pieces of the DC Extended Universe.
That ended up sinking this sequel before it was able to swim.
The James Gunn reboot was announced six months prior.
One of the heroes referenced in the trailer was in the middle of some serious legal trouble.
AndBlack Adamseemed to doeverything it couldto make people forgetShazam!everexisted.
3.)
The layup to capitalize onShazam!missed.
So Warner Bros. threw the kitchen sink atThe Flashand, frankly, it could not have gone worse.
None of that worked.
It did neither, and it is now boastingthe worst-ever 2nd-weekend box office drop in DC history.
How Bad Was the Recent DCEU Movie Streak?
“Superhero fatigue” is one of the latest buzzwords for whiz-bang fandom.
Since 2022, there have been 12 superhero movies released in theaters.Black Adam,Shazam!
Fans feel like the trust in this franchise is worse than ever, and that is saying something.
What Is Next For DC Studios?
WithBlue BeetleandAquaman 2on the horizon, Warner Bros.
Discovery is in an impossible position.
The projected budget for those movies is $120 million and $205 million, respectively.
It would lose roughly $385 million on production for both and marketing forBlue Beetle.
2,and the highest current projections forThe Flashwill have gained an average of $309 million.
Superhero fatigue is real if the movies are not good.
Nothing is safe with the DC Extended Universe.
