ShazamFuryOfTheGods, which stars Zachary Levi, brings in $30.5 million for its opening weekend at the domestic box office.
The current era of the DC Extended Universe is looking to end on a downer, with this week’s Shazam! Fury of the Gods coming in way under expectations. After an $11.7 million Friday, the film is eyeing an underwhelming $30.5 million in its opening weekend. Barring the mid-pandemic releases The Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman 1984 , this is the lowest opening for a DCEU film, falling short of even Birds of Prey’s $33 million opening in 2020.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Fury of the Gods’ underwhelming debut comes at a time when the DCEU is being retooled for the future, under new co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran’s leadership. Gunn hasn’t committed to making more Shazam films, although he did note in his slate announcement video that the series exists in its own corner of the larger universe, implying that it could continue without impacting the overarching story.
