And is anyone gonna bring up Wonder Woman going on a date with Billy Batson Shazam? I guess Greek goddesses like ‘em young? And between WW84 and FOTG, Princess Diana sure displays a weird love life.

But granted this part more or less confirms Gal Gadot is out, as this was all done with a body double and face swap.

I'm not sure if you've seen FOTG, but in the Wonder Woman date scene, yes, we never see Diana's face, only her body, so for sure that was probably a body double. But it's definitely Gal Gadot's Diana who shows up at the end of FOTG.

Worth it for the first minute alone.

 

I've been waiting for really good Skittles insight. This did NOT disappoint.

My favorite part was when they all went to hold hands together and said,

"It's SHAZAMin' Time!"

Don't forget when the Microsoft Paperclip was promoted to full superhero status by yelling "it's SHAZAMin' Time!" and became a Super-Powered Fountain Pen named Steve.

Wow, I knew WB was going to take a bath on this film, but freaking $170m worldwide, that is just horrible.

Love beating a dead horse, so after a $22M WW weekend anything north of $150M seems optimistic

Could be worse, tho.

Still not as large a % drop on its 2nd Friday as BvS.

At this point I don't think percentage matters, it is how much the movie made or lost.  

BVS had a budget of $250 million and it made $873 million globally (yes it should have done better), that is a 3.5x ratio, so it most likely made WB money (not as much as they hoped, but it turned a profit).

S:FOtG has a budget of $125 million and lets be generous and say it makes $200 million globally, that is a 1.6x ratio, so yeah it is going to lose WB money.

So sure, BvS had a bigger drop but it turned a profit, not so with S:FOtG.

That will never last in his memory. Since 2016, it has been about how to insert yet another BVS negative drop.

I love that line in The Dark Knight Rises. You can clearly tell Bane really doesn't mean it.

Saw ot today and it was okay, but nowhere near as good as the first one.

6/10.

To be fair, there have been other worse 2nd weekend drops.

Shazam 2's drop of 67.8% isn't as bad as:

• Elektra (-69%)
• Batman v. Superman (-69.1%)
• Jonah Hex (-69.7%)
• The Suicide Squad (-71.5%)
• Steel (-78%)

You forgot one. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Give credit where credit is due.
