Shazam! The director of Fury Of The Gods reacts to the Avatar 2 contest

It has become extremely rare to see more than one major movie in theaters on any given weekend. Even the most high-profile blockbuster will see its box office cut by another major franchise or popular IP, and because neither studio wants it, they all tend to stay away from each other. However, unless something changes in the coming months, we will see head-to-head competition between franchises when Avatar 2 Yes Shazam! of them they leave only a few days apart. But Shazam! Director David F. Sandberg isn’t that worried Avatar .

As it is, the long-awaited and long-awaited Avatar: The way of water will be released in theaters on December 16, while Shazam: Fury of the gods It will follow less than a week later, on December 21st. Yes, OK Shazam! It is definitely in a better place than aquatic man continuation It was, it’s the closest we’ve seen to the major releases of the modern era, but as David F. Sandberg recently stated slashfilm , he thinks there is a lot of room for both films to succeed. The manager said …

I should be very scared. It’s the end of James Cameron. (laughs) No, I think it’s really cool, because they are very different films. I mean, look at the first “Avatar”. There have been other films that have come out at the same time and have done very well … especially at Christmas … everyone knows that Avatar is going to be, like, the greatest movie of all time. I’ll take a look at it. But yes, there is room for “Shazam!” also, as well.

David F. Sandberg is right in his assessment. the original Avatar open essentially the same weekend in 2009 as Avatar 2 will occupy this year. Five days later, on the Wednesday before Christmas, the same date Shazam 2 will open, saw the release of another sequel, Alvin and the Squirrels: The Squakqual. The squirrels the film would have grossed nearly $ 220 million national which, although obviously a fraction of the original one Avatar it would do much more than the $ 140 million declared for the former Shazam!

The question is plausible Shazam! Yes Avatar they are quite different. Definitely the squirrels the film appealed to children, most of whom would have been too young for the more mature ones Avatar. Shazam!being on the lighter side of DC, it probably also has a younger and therefore wider audience than that Avatar, but the crossover between the two is arguably even bigger, since they’re both likely PG-13 movies. There were elements of the former Shazam! they were not suitable for small children .

Of course, there is also the question of how far Avatar: The way of water it really will. There is a modern version of the first film that, Despite its box office dominance, Avatar it had little cultural resistance , and so few people will care what happens next. Even if it is, Avatar 2 it doesn’t need to convert the highest-grossing film of all time, like the first Avatar to be successful, or even become the highest-grossing film of the year.

What is clear is that the two Avatar Yes Shazam! can be successful despite such direct competition. If both are successful, we may begin to see the studios approaching their successful releases.
