Shazam 2 is expected to earn $35 million or more in North America on box office on day 2, compared to the $53.5 million domestic debut of Shazam! in 2019, not adjusted for inflation. No major Hollywood studio sets out to make a sequel that isn’t as good as the first, prompting many to question whether tracking is being too conservative in this case.

If Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods actually earns $35 million at the box office on day 2, it may raise concerns about superhero fatigue. In recent weeks, Marvel and Disney’s threequel Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania debuted to a relatively tepid $106.1 million in the United States before suffering the worst sophomore drop-off of any Marvel Cinematic Universe film.

The villains of Shazam 2 are the Daughters of Atlas, a trio of ancient goddesses who have come to Earth to reclaim the magical powers stolen from them by the wizard Shazam (Djimon Hounsou). Naturally, it is up to Billy Batson, aka Shazam (Asher Angel/Zachary Levi), and his extended family/fellow superheroes Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer/Adam Brody), Eugene (Ian Chen/Ross Butler), Darla (Faithe Herman/Meagan Good), Pedro (Jovan Armand/D.J. Cotrona), and Mary (Faithe Herman/Meagan Good) to defeat (Grace Caroline Currey, playing both the regular and superhero versions of her character with a change of hairstyle).
