The most I've ever really been interested in the Shazam stories is when he had Black Adam to play off of (thanks for not letting that happen in the movies because of ego, Dwayne) or one of the more recent runs where college student Mary becomes Captain Marvel because Billy is stuck in the Rock of Eternity.

After watching the latest trailer I feel I have watched the film already.

He's dedicated to screwing this up That $35-$40 million domestic opening might be a generous one now…

Someone from DC should really take his social media away from him until this movie is out and done.

Just give Michelle Borth her own superhero movie to make up for this one.
She can play both roles of the hero and the villain, whoever she plays she can just fight an evil version of herself in that movie.

Early reactions are in and it's getting a generally positive reception.

If I had a quarter for every time DC spoiled a hero's cameo to get the hype machine back on track, I'd have 75¢. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened three times now. {Spoiler}Remember when Wonder Woman's appearance in Batman V Superman was supposed to be a surprise?

Do they just keep {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Gal Gadot in a case with "In Case of Emergency, Break Open Glass" on it?

It’s actually coming out at a good time, between 2 big R-rated movies in Scream and John Wick. It’ll be the family/teen choice for a few weeks.

I thought that was pretty good until I realized it's worldwide and not domestic. Shazam has a pretty low budget though, right? It's not a $200+ million disaster like Black Adam and if IIRC it's nearer to $100 million. If it sees the typical second-weekend drop for lower-tier superhero movies it could be in trouble though.

If it sees the typical second-weekend drop for lower-tier superhero movies it could be in trouble though. It was budgeted at $100 million and the reported break-even is around $270 million. For comparison, the first movie was made for $80 million, break-even was $240 million, and it opened to $158 million worldwide.
