Shazam hit Theaters this weekend...

Like with Captain Marvel a few weeks ago, I thought I'd make a thread to see how Much Queen failed here.

first as we all know Queen spent 6 Months trolling on Ant-Man 2s 75 Million OW, 215 M+ domestic and 620 M+ WW total....according to queen Those were "disappointing results"

fast forward to now...based on Queens trolling on AM2, surely that means queen expects Shazam to make more than the Disappointing AM2 right?

the answer is yes...Luckily Queen got over confident the last few days and started giving some predictions...

Here are queens predictions

Prediction 1-"Brace For Impact"--queen makes thread declaring Shazam is HOTTER than Aquaman, which clearly means queens is expecting Shazam to at least top Aquamans 67 Million OW

Prediction 2-I bait Queen into giving a prediction but asking if he thinks Shazam will top AM2...queens prediction/guarantee is "Yes this is going to open higher than 75 million.

Prediction 3-queen Prematurely Get Over confident based on Shazam's Mid Night Numbers and Predictions a OW now close to 100 Million

[–] QueenFanUSA (1515) a day ago

Hahaha...bill...this is going to debut closer to 100 million. Take that to the bank. It's domestic box office will end up much bigger than either of the Ant Man films.

Prediction 4-In Queens Over confidence, He Guarantees Shazam Will Top BOTH AM films....Hilariously we Now are seeing Shazam isnt even going to match AM1 Marvels Weakest franchise and Movie...

So It conclusion...Queen is about to go 0 for 4 here....Miss Yet Again by Almost 50 Million dollars on a films opening weekend(this will be at least the 12th time hes missed by 50 Million + on a films OW)

lol maybe queen should have made a thread titled "Brace for Extreme Disappointment"....Because lets face it, If Queen was "disappointed" by AM2's box office results....Shazam's box office results of failing to even top AM1s box office results has to be an "extreme disappointment"

*grabs the popcorn*

The general petty comic rivalry aside, putting the shameless likes of Queenfart in his place never gets old! Props.

[–] billbrown7071 (3193) 5 years ago

well its official...

Queen Is gonna miss on every single thing he predicted.

Shazam is coming in directly where tracking had it at 53 Million....

Thats Disastrously Off all Of queens predictions...

lol 53 million means there was no "Bracing for Impact" and Shazam was NOT coming in hotter than Aquaman as Queen Proclaimed....

53 Million Is No where near the 75 Million + Queen guaranteed when I baited him into giving a prediction....

and astonishingly, queen once again MISSED by 50 Million On a films opening weekend(This marks the 12th time queen has missed by at least 50 million)...Queen got Prematurely excited about Shazam's mid night numbers and made the disastrous mistake of predicting A Near 100 Million dollar opening for Shazam... lol

and finally, queens prediction of Shazam Easily Topping BOTH Ant-Man films went down in Flames as Shazam couldnt even match AM1s 57 Million...

I must say...I've seen some EPIC trolling threads backfire in my day

but I dont think I've ever seen a 1-2 Punch of Back to Back Trolling threads fail like Queens "This Aint NO Wonder Woman" and now "Brace for Impact" threads has failed

quite simply put, The combined Beating queen has took for these 2 threads, The Pure Level at which they failed in every possible way, and The scale In which They failed...I've never seen anything like it...

I mean we arent talking about "Normal fails" here

queen actually made a thread declaring Captain Marvel couldnt match WW's 103 Million Opening Weekend and Probably would only be able to do AM2 numbers...

lol were talking Queen Missing by Near 75 Million On CM

Who makes a thread with the sole purpose to declare "This Aint No Wonder Woman"....and Then That Film ends up KILLING Wonder Woman....you couldnt fail this hard if you intentionally tried

then we get the "Brace for Impact", where in the span of 12 hours Queen gives 3 predictions of 68 M+, 75 M+ and Then near 100 M

Then guarantees Shazam will easily top both AM films.

IMO these are the worst 1-2 punch of Trolling Thread fails I've ever seen...

this is not an exaggeration....Creating these 2 threads ONLY resulted in SHAME,Embarrassment and failure for Queen....literally not 1 good thing came from these horrific fails....

[–] DracTarashV2 (4475) 5 years ago

Another Queentastrophe. I am shocked! XD I think this guy strangely enjoys being humiliated like this.

At any event, for what it’s worth I really liked Shazam. People like Queen and his annoying agenda (the trolling by the insufferable anti-MCU crowd) won’t make me want to wish failure for Shazam or future DCEU movies that are actually good.

[–] TheGothamCat2007 (44) 5 years ago

I agree with every thing you just said, I'm glad that you're give this movie a fair and unbiased option, you shouldn't let that attention seeking whore Queen ruin this movie experience for you, and to be perfectly honest I don't believe that Queen is really DC fan, he's just a sad, little attention seeking troll, nothing more nothing less.

[–] billbrown7071 (3193) 5 years ago

At any event, for what it’s worth I really liked Shazam. People like Queen and his annoying agenda (the trolling by the insufferable anti-MCU crowd) won’t make me want to wish failure for Shazam or future DCEU movies that are actually good. This movie deserves to experience success.

I'm seeing Shazam next weekend....

I'm actually quite excited, I like the concept and Think It looks good....

The consensus is overwhelming that Its very good...

I dont wish failure of Shazam either...I love both DC and Marvel...but I must admit due to my Hatred for Queen and other hardcore DC fans, I do find myself hating on DC films box office...

Its not so much that I think a film like Wonder Woman's box office is bad...quite the opposite WW was a grandslam and a huge hit...But I cant help but mentioning Captain Marvel Beating Wonder Woman because I know it KILLS Queen and DC fans...

Shazam due to its budget will be a hit...and Is a Pretty decent result for a first time debuting character...But again, due to Queen trolling on MCU films like AM2....I just cant help but rub in that Shazam couldnt even top AM1 let alone AM2...

Basically, DC films are finally having success now that Snyder is gone and I'm happy about it...but My hatred for certain DC fans leads me to get carried away sometimes and rub in that DC films Just arent having "MCU type success" because I know its Bothers them badly

[–] DracTarashV2 (4475) 5 years ago

Believe me, I know where you’re coming from. After witnessing all this trolling by certain DCEU fans for so long (particularly the Snyder fanbase), it was hard for me not to gloat when movies like Batman vs. Superman and Justice League ended up underperforming — or when Thor: Ragnarok, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Guardians 2 outgrossed the big success that was Wonder Woman in the same year.

Queen? Yup, the way he and others like him troll Marvel/Disney boards certainly makes it easy to rub it in their faces when a movie they wanted to succeed didn’t come close to competing with recent MCU films. And as much as I had a good time with Shazam, thanks to the DCEU’s army trolling I can’t help but chuckle a little knowing that Shazam didn’t give an MCU movie focusing on an even more obscure superhero like Ant-Man a run for its money (nevermind the supposed rival that is Captain Marvel!). Lol

[–] ranmast (620) 5 years ago

Well, I just remember another threas Queen certifying that Captain Marvel wouldn't get to 365M at the domestic BO...

[–] ranmast (620) 5 years ago

And 53M it is? All the wishes to the stars went to hell. At 53M it stayed

[–] Bubbathegut (17228) 5 years ago

The official numbers are in finally, and its only a million less than AM1 opening weekend. Not too bad for a relatively unknown character.

$56,830,326
= Worldwide: $159,130,326

[–] QueenFanUSA (3375) 5 years ago

...and with a production budget that cost 50 million less.

[–] NorrinRad (5045) 5 years ago

Ant-Man $130 Million
Shazam! $100 Million

Not exactly a $50 Million Dollar difference.

[–] QueenFanUSA (3375) 5 years ago

Boxoffofficemojo is the only site pegging it at 100 million. All others are pegging it at 80 million or 90 million tops.

[–] NorrinRad (5045) 5 years ago

[–] QueenFanUSA (1541) a few seconds ago
Boxoffofficemojo is the only site pegging it at 100 million. All others are pegging it at 80 million or 90 million tops.

The fact is that I went with the Boxofficemojo.com's box office for both Ant Man and Shazam! so it was a fair and equal comparison.

I realize you'd want to go with the lower amount for Shazam! as you think it makes your case regardless if it is accurate or not. Facts matter.

[–] QueenFanUSA (3375) 5 years ago

So because ONE site calls it at 100 million and all the others are lower I'm supposed to go with the higher one?

Btw, ALL sites listed Ant-man at 130 as well. So how is my comparison less "fact" based when there are numerous sites quoting 80-90 million as opposed to ONE calling it at 100 million? Seems like you are the one selectively choosing ONE source that "makes your case".

[–] NorrinRad (5045) 5 years ago

Dude I don't have a case.

I just used a site that is used for multiple data regarding movies.
I just used a site that uses box office data, release information, budgets, etc.

I don't cherry pick. You did.

No problem for me though. Let's just go with the low-end of $80 Million. That's all you want so that it makes your case that Shazam will be more profitable than Ant-Man.

[–] ranmast (620) 5 years ago

Don't play the stupid. The opening weekend take is 53.5 Millions, the other 3.3 M are from previews and not counted in the weekend numbers and you know this. You butthurt DC fanboys have always been delusional but more than that you are liars, LIARS.

[–] MisterE (704) 5 years ago

Are the "previews" Thursday night showings or something else?

[–] ranmast (620) 5 years ago

Two weeks before release they put some special previews for general public. They made 3.3 millions for that. They did the same for Aquaman and it worked, not this time.

The thing is that the two idiots above know this but they like to missinform and lie. Beware.

[–] MisterE (704) 5 years ago

Thanks. Yeah, you can go to boxoffficemojo and see that Shazam's weekend numbers have a 3.3m padding.

[–] ranmast (620) 5 years ago

No problem...

46th day (a Monday), Captain Marvel made 1.3 Million dollars. Wow! In fact Captain Marvel made more money per theater than Shazam (18th day).

Wow! I am very impressed with Shazm's legs...
