I was thinking more like 4m.

In my country,AEG has 6 showings sold out (3 of them are the country’s biggest auditoriums) and 15 near sold out for OD.For it’s second day it has 5near sold out showings and 2 of them are in the biggest auditoriums. The 2nd biggest preselected I have tracked in my country (as I said we are not used to booking tickets) was TLJ and that one was not even close doing half of what AEG is doing.

I’m not expecting much for Shazam but i’m not too worried of its performance in the US for two reasons that others have pointed out... 1.It has already earned 3.3M from these early screenings and those would probably go to previews and OD figures in any other case since I can only imagine that fans are mostly attending these screenings. 2.It has been marketed as a family film and these tended to be light on presales and thrive on walk ups. It’s the OS numbers that have me worried.WoM does not seem as good as is it is in the US.

Less than 45M....here we go...

Why you think z.a Llorona will break the streak?

Did Geoff Johns and Walter Hamada shit on this guy’s cereal?

You should know 2 things about my country: no one ever thinks of booking their tickets like even a week in advance and those who can probably fill a showing (almost). Today (21 days in advance) the Avengers Endgame tickets went on sale (and usually the theaters open the presales closer to release) and a few hour laters it has 3 sold out showing and 8 near sold out showing and some of them are fucking huge auditoriums .I have tracked some other event films like TLJ But...nothing comes close.Not even after presales we’re on for a few days.I have never seen this before.Holy Shit.

Yeah at this point i’m not seeing this breaking out.But with a 80M budget and minimal marketing it will still turn a good profit for WB.China and US alone should be enough for this to break even.

For what is worth, now we can officially say that WB is just waiting for WoM to spread like wildfire while they do nothing marketing wise.I mean it’s Monday before release and there’s nothing...no late show interviews,no countless YouTube interviews,Hell the film barely pops on my feed when some time ago I was occasionaly seeing something for a film like serenity. Anyway,will still go for 55M OW and hope for the best.

Stupid millenials

If it’s really tracking for 55M OW...60M is not far fetched .I know that presales don’t hint to that but again family movies,like this has been marketed as, are not presales heavy.For the time being, i’m Thinking 50M ow/150 M dom.

Not sure is anyone has posted this... Just a part of the overall awesome soundtrack.Like it's no MOS or BVS OST but still great...

Congrats to everyone involved!This films deserves it soooooo much!

As some pointed out, those 3M+ it got from the sneak previews were at their vast majority from people who would have bought a ticket for OW, if not OD. Obviously the presales are deflated but it's a matter of how much.Plus,WB has marketed this as a family movie, a genre that also thrives on walk ups and not presales . And, yes, you can't expect this to blow up to something like 80M OW.It's an unknown character(and no previews exposition to a team up film) with a relatively unknown cast in a franchise that is trying to find its footing playing on a market that just a had a big superhero movies and with an even bigger coming next.

Booked my tickets to see it again on OD.Probably gonna catch it a third time just to see my friends having their mind blown away.

Annabelle got her trilogy before the main series...

You can't but you get bragging rights afterwards

At this point I'm pretty confident that CM won't be reaching WW and I'm this close to saying that even the 400M is questionable at this rate.Should benefit a lot from Endgame and then maybe some fudging by Disney .

Greece but due to my job and current relationship status I get to travel a lot, and this is why I get to see some films (usually tentpoles) early.And the jokes landed just fine with me and the entire auditorium. Like I didn't laugh in every single one of the jokes but the vast majority were freaking hilarious. And I really didn't care all that much for them since the family stuff is so damn powerful.Plus,some surprises.

Um guys why are we freaking out over one bad review when all the others are positive with the exception of like 2.The films is borderline getting universal acclaim.

Sad for Dumbo but Also potentially happy for Shazam.That’s China for you.

Shazam is the most heartfelt, fun and emotional blockbuster in years.Action is terrific but the family stuff is what really steal the show and you end up feeling that they are your family.The blend of different elements is done perfectly.That’s a superhero film akin to the classic family movies I was watching as a kid and I can see it becoming a movie that will play on tv on a Sunday afternoon with the entire family gathered around.It’s that awesome.Oh and Levi and the child actors are fantastic in this.I honestly can’t find a bad thing to say and honestly it might have overtaken Dragons as my favorite movie so far this year and Wonder Woman/MOS as my favorite DCEU movie...definitely right up there.

Turns out i might have an opinion later today.

Just got confirmation that I'm seeing this on Monday and I am so excited.First Time I get to see a film so early on.

Anyway,I want to ask...is it true that in some comics the superhero version of the kids are their deceased parent?That’s grim...
