• Shazam! Fury of the Gods underperformed in its first week.
• It amassed only $65.5 million against the projection of $85 million.
• It earned $30.5 million domestically in its first week.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods is losing not just its domestic audience, but also international ones. Worldwide, the superhero sequel is underperforming expectations.

The movie’s opening weekend take was anticipated to be over $85 million worldwide, but current projections put that number closer to $65.5 million. Scream VI’s opening weekend worldwide earnings of $67 million were recorded last week.

Fury of the Gods’ domestic opening weekend box office took in a disappointing $30.5 million, but it managed to bring in $35 million from foreign markets. Comparatively, the first Shazam! earned $158 million globally and $53.5 million domestically in its first weekend back in 2019. In the end, it earned $140 million domestically and $366 million internationally, which is a respectable sum given its lower-than-average $100 million budget.
