All four new movies underperform as Shazam! wins the box office again
By Sandy C.
Three new movies premiered in theaters over the weekend, but no one seemed too interested in anything other than Shazam!, what did you watch at the movies?
The box office numbers are in thanks to Box Office Mojo! How did your favorite movie do over the weekend? If it wasn’t Shazam! it likely didn’t perform too well. Let’s look at the top 10 movies of the weekend, below.
At the top of the Top 10 is Shazam! with $25.1 million, neither debut was big enough to compete with the latest theater at the movies. Shazam!‘s worldwide total is now $221.2 million, not bad for a movie with a $110 budget. The hero better enjoy its last week at the top, though, as Avengers: Endgame quickly approaches. To compare, Shazam!‘s current worldwide total is what Endgame is predicted to collect on its first weekend.
New in theaters are Little, Missing Link, Hellboy, and After. Did you catch any of these at the movies?

Little comes in at No. 2 with $15.4 million, it’s a decent amount considering the size of the film and it going up against Shazam!‘s second week. The disappointment here is Hellboy, which you can find at No.3 with a low $12 million. What happened to the hype? Everyone was initially excited for the return of the franchise, but now, a sequel may not even happen.
To make matters worse, Hellboy was made for with a reported budget of $50 million. The movie still has a long way to collect any profit.
After, Jenny Gage’s romantic drama, sits at No. 8 with $6.2 million. And near the very bottom of the Top 10 is Chris Butler’s Missing Link at No. 9 with $5.8 million. If you ask me, Missing Link is underrated! It’s a great film that deserves more attention and belongs in the top five.
See the complete top 10, below:
- Shazam!: $25.1 million
- Little: $15.4 million
- Hellboy: $12 million
- Pet Sematary: $10 million
- Dumbo: $9.1 million
