The movie's steep decline isn’t just a statistical anomaly; it signifies a broader trend of waning enthusiasm for DC films in theaters. Its box office drop surpasses even notable failures like Birds of Prey, which, despite being poorly received, managed to secure a higher opening weekend and a smaller subsequent drop. Shazam! Fury of the Gods appears to be headed toward a dismal total lifetime gross, possibly even failing to reach $200 million worldwide—a figure far below what was necessary to recoup its massive production and marketing investments.
