Warner Bros. hasn’t exactly thrown the full might of its marketing power behind Shazam! Fury of the Gods, but you’d at least expect the sequel to a popular superhero smash hit to at least come close to debuting in the same sort of range as its predecessor.

While the 75-year-old star does still line up acting gigs, he seems more content with indulging in his personal hobbies like caring for his fuzzy livestock and riding around in tanks. With that in mind, Schwarzenegger doesn’t attend high-profile events like movie premieres all that often. However, he was one of the many Hollywood titans to show up…
