It's interesting that the arguably two rare disappointments of the year so far were Magic Mike 3 and Shazam are both from WB. At least Mike had a limited OW so managed expectations. Almost every opener has met or surpassed expectations or at least had a low budget if they disappointed (Cabin). If I were Mattel leadership, I'd be very worried and take over the Barbie marketing campaign from WB.

I'd put Ant Man had #3 but you're right. I don't think it's at a Shazam or MM3 level though as its still gone up from its predecessors and still looks good for $215M+. The quality, expectations and budget were significant so I put Shazam at 5X worse than AntMan box office wise. |

Moreso worldwide than DOM though, ending below #1 is not good. Shazam is a very good contender for worst run of the year and we're only in march

Wont even do 150m WW which is terrible for a light SH flick. It was also sequel to supposedly well received 1st movie !!! That said Ant 3 has worse long term impact. That also has disappointed in BO big time WW. Big drop from Ant 2. Plus it introduced next big baddie in MCU and that has not worked out well. it definitely has worse long term impact for MCU than say Shazam bombing for DCU where I am sure Shazam wont be in the picture. DCU success or failure is dependent on how Superman Legacy does. We will only know in 2 years. |
