Nice bump on Saturday pushes weekend well over 25 million.


Nice little surge there.

You have another little data point that you could have said that would have been even brighter.

Shazam! added 89+ screens (4207 to 4309) which would be a promising sign that demand is high.

But you don't like doing the work when you troll. Oh yeah, that comes from boxofficemojo.com and you don't like using their data.

Let's see if you've ever posted such an insight for a Marvel/Disney movie because you love box-office reporting so much? I won't bother because it isn't there from you.

reply

Glad you posted that, actually. Sorry I didn't notice the screen jump.

I'm just a layperson and you're right...I do love box office reporting.

reply

Hey Queen, Shazam says it's Sunday 04/14/2019 and he still doesn't have the $100 Million dollar box domestic office that you guaranteed he'd have by last weekend!! What happened?!

When will that $100 Million materialize, tomorrow? Tuesday? Wednesday?

Just asking because you guaranteed it. :-)

reply

Most analysts see it hitting 100 million by Wednesday at the latest.

reply

But what happened? Why is it performing in this lackluster way? The critics gave it great reviews and audiences seem to love it. The Anti-SJW's are all over Youtube suggesting that fans should turn out for Shazam (or Alita) over Captain Marvel, etc.

I just don't understand exactly what is happening. How did it go from "Coming in Hot" to this lukewarm performance?

Or are you saying that it is coming in Hot as compared to Green Lantern? What is the standard that we should be using to assess Shazam!'s "Hotness" performance?

Nice bump on Saturday pushes weekend well over 25 million.

lolololol

Oh how the mighty have fallen....

somehow you've gone from

Guaranteeing a near 100 Million OW

Guaranteeing a 250 Million + domestic gross

Guaranteeing Shazam Will Beat BOTH AM2 and AM1


To now actually scrapping the bottom of the barrel and Trolling about a 2 Million dollar Increase and A pretty Low 2nd Weekend that Of course was no where near The Great LEGS YOU were expecting

lol You now have the "Fun" of looking at a total gross around 150 M domestically for Shazam With tops Being Maybe it creeps past 400 M WW...

lol

Queen, This could be the Worst 1-2 Punch of Failure and Embarrassment you've ever had....The combination of your horrific fails between BOTH Captain Marvel and Shazam, Back to Back is just quite staggering...

you are something like 0 for 9 on predictions you made on these 2 films....You made 3 of the worst and most Brutally Embarrassing Failed Troll threads POSSIBLY EVER......lol and now your actually at a point where you truly trying to SPITE troll with a 2 Million dollar Increase on a Bad 2nd Weekend...

lol what makes it even worse is, IN YOUR OWN WORDS...Shazam just had a disappointing 2nd weekend...

lol you made a thread on the BP board on its 2nd weekend where you prematurely thought it was having a 54% 2nd weekend drop and You Literally Made A TROLL thread with the sole purpose to make fun of that 54% drop.....lol Of course, like always you Failed, lol, You jumped the gun and and BP ended up having A fantastic 2nd Weekend Hold making you look like a complete idiot...

but the point, Shazam just had the exact drop you tried to Prematurely make fun of BP for....

lol sorry, cant claim anything about Shazam's 2nd weekend is nice....In your words...Its disappointing!

lolol

reply

Now that the actuals have come in it's confirmed...a nice little bump indeed.

reply

Like the one on your head when mom tells you to get off the computer and take out the trash?

reply

It will make $1 billion for sure :D

reply

With a budget as low as this it doesn't need to make a billion to be a resounding success.

reply

With a little luck it can make as much profit as Ant Man and the Wasp :)

reply

Well...it cost HALF of what. AM2 did 80-90 million compared to 162 million so it could make about 150 million worldwide LESS and still make the same amount of profit.

reply

Ehh not quite. Even though the production budget is roughly half we should assume the advertising campaigns are about equal.

reply

But if the budget is 70-80 million less and the studio only gets half of the gross that = 150-160 MORE that Ant-Man and the Wasp needs to make to hit the breakeven point as compared Shazam.

That IS assuming both ad budgets are equal which I'm sure they were close to being...prob 100 million global spend for each.

reply

Breakeven for Shazam=360 million

Ant Man &the Wasp= 520 million.

reply

I can agree with that. I had it around 380 and 550 but its pretty much the same thing. The problem for Shazam is it might not reach that breakeven point before Endgame.

reply

Breakeven for Shazam=360 million

Ant Man &the Wasp= 520 million.

^

^^OMG MASSIVE MISTAKE!

lol Shazam is gonna top out at around 400 Million dollars WW....

By Your OWN Words you just admitting WB is gonna make around 20 Million In Profit From Shazam....

I'm sorry, But Spending almost 100 Million on A Blockbuster, and Another 50 Million at least on Marketing and Making A TINY 20 Million Profit Is not at all what STUDIOS have in Mind....

When a Studios spends Near 100 Million On A Film, They do that because they are Expecting A HUGE Profit..

You just admitted Shazam is NOW set to Be even LESS Profitable than Man Of Steel.....A Film WB quickly "Abandoned' Thier plans on when it under performed and they only made a 42 Million dollar profit

My god, just imagine, If WB is willing to Cancel an already announced and Greenlit "MOS 2" and Immediately Changed it to BvS and Bring In Batman to save that franchise after ONLY Making 42 Million In Profit...

I think Its safe to say, Major Changes are coming for A potential Shazam 2 With WB only Making 20 Million In Profit from Shazam...

Think about this....WB as Now Made 7 DC films(that are some what DCEU films)....and 4 of Them(MOS,BvS,JL and Now Shazam) has cost them OVER 1 Billion dollars to Make.....

and has resulted in ONLY 105 Million In Profit..

lol

thats what you dont get when you compare Ant-Man budget and Shazam's Budget...

lol MOS,BvS, JL and Shazam combined Budgets are Over 1 Billion dollars.....and those films Will result In 105 Million dollars or LESS in Profit...

MOS Netted 42 M
BvS Netted 103 Million
Justice League Lost at Least 60 Million
Shazam By your own words is gonna net WB 20 Million

^worth noting These are confirmed totals, I can post the articles if you want.

Meanwhile, Marvel Studios Spend Less than 300 Million On 2 AM films that make a combined 220 Million + In Profit....


oh ya, queen, You wrong about AM 2's Break Even point...

AM1 had a budget of 130 Million....It made 520 and Million Netting a confirmed 102 Million In Profit

there for we know for certain AM1s break even point was 320 Million.

Theaters and Studios get roughly a 50/50 split, so if we know AM1 made 100 Million In Profit, that means AM1 had to make 200 Million More than its break even point for Disney to net 100 M...again putting its break even point at 320 Million...

are you getting that feeling in your stomach yet? you know what coming right?

So, If AM1's Break even point was 320 Million on a 130 Million Budget.

Its very simply to figure out AM2's Break Even Point on a 162 Million Budget.

and that break even point is unequivocally 384 Million.

Since AM2 has a 32 Million dollars Larger Budget....AM2 needed to make additional 64 Million dollars more than AM1 to Break Even...

lol...So....as I said, AM2 Netted Disney around 120 Million + in Profit...

So You either Incorrectly gave a Wrong 520 Million Break Even point for AM2 because your dumb and dont understand box office or You intentionally exaggerated AM2s break even out of Jealousy and anger...

either you are wrong and You look Shamefully stupid...



PS.....

Truly Laughed out loud when I saw Shazam's Actuals came in 1 Million less....

ONLY you could stoop low enough to make a thread bragging about a pathetic 2 Million dollar Bump and Then Hilariously Its revealed Shazam came in 50% Less than That pathetic 2 M bump...

seriously, when you looked at Shazam's actuals, you did a "face palm" didnt you....lol even you despite your clear familiarity with failure had to think "Damn this looks bad, I made a thread bragging about a 2 M bump, and Jesus now its only 1 M...fuck why did I make that thread"......and Then "Face Palm"



PSS.....

lol you accidentally admitted Shazam is ONLY going to Net WB 20 Million dollars......

just had to have another Laugh at that....

lololololololol

reply

Just to be factually correct, the “well over $25-million” never materialized.

Weekend actuals were $24.5-million for a 54% drop from the debut weekend.

reply

Queen doesn't care about that. Queen cares about raving like a loon about budgets, saying he's not a troll and other studios unrelated films.



It's all foreplay he uses to seduce his man crush, billbrown.

reply

Puleez...TJLamb.

Give it a rest about me and billbrown, will 'ya?

reply

I'll give it a rest when you give your box office prediction threads a rest.


So....get used to it, power bottom.

reply

Janfro...you are correct. I wrote the header when the estimates had it over 25 million. It adjusted down slightly.

reply

lol....

a scale from 1 to 10 how bad was the cringe in your stomach when you read the actual's and realized Shazam came in 50% Less than The Pathetic 2 M dollar Bump you were bragging about?

I mean, Making this thread had to be difficult enough...Even you had to feel Shame and really only could have made this thread out of SPITE...

But still...you had to have sat there in silence for a few second after seeing Shazam hilariously didnt even have the pathetic 2 Million dollar Bump you Lowered yourself to to brag about...

Its very rare when troll actual thinks to themselves "shit why did I make that thread" but I am certain for you, You experienced that yesterday when you read Shazam embarrassingly fell short of even a 2 M dollar bump....

lol

PS....

could you have ever imagine just 2 weeks ago you'd be here now, Embarrassingly SPITE trolling on a pathetic 1 M dollar bump?

I mean just 2 short weeks ago, you had dreams of this

"coming in Hotter than Aquaman"...
Opening Near 100 Million
Making at least 250 Million domestically.
Easily Out grossing Both AM films, Meaning at minimum you thought Shazam was going to make 623 Million WW....

could you ever have imagined, You would be at these lows 2 weeks ago ?

If I told you 2 weeks ago that...

Shazam would fail to even top AM1 let alone AM2...under any circumstance would you have believed it?

If I told you 2 weeks ago that...

Shazam would be LUCKY to top 150 Million let alone 250 M...under any circumstance would you have believed it?

If I told you 2 weeks ago that...

Shazams Total would be wouldnt get Within 100 Million of Marvel Studios Weakest movie in AM1...under any circumstance would you have believed it?


could you have ever imagine, You'd be in this situation trying to spin and defend such shocking and Low results?
