This lack of path is why it is unlikely that DC Studios will proceed with the franchise. “Fury of the Gods” underperformed on the field workplace, making solely $30.5 million domestically in its opening weekend. Given its approximate price range of between $110 and $125 million, it is not trying doubtless that the film will flip a revenue.
That being mentioned, how a lot of this could essentially be blamed on Johnson? His alleged refusal to permit the JSA to look in “Fury of the Gods” actually made the movie lack the correct continuity, particularly given how Black Adam is the Joker to Shazam’s Batman. Nevertheless, whereas /Movie’s Jeff Ewing loved the movie, it actually has its justifiable share of flaws that many have criticized. Even when Johnson allegedly believes himself to be “an important particular person in any scenario or room,” as one Hollywood government informed The Wrap, it looks as if he cannot be solely blamed for the poor efficiency of “Fury of the Gods” and the doable cancelation of the “Shazam!” franchise basically.
On the brilliant aspect, that will not turn out to be the first narrative surrounding the movie. Exterior of seemingly confirming The Wrap’s report, Levi has additionally steered that advertising and marketing performed a task within the underperformance of “Fury of the Gods” in a Twitter publish.
“I feel the most important concern we’re having is advertising and marketing. This can be a excellent household film, and but a variety of households aren’t conscious of that,” he wrote, “which is only a disgrace.”
