4PM a la Shazam. Guess WB really likes that timeslot (Even Ocean's 8 got 4PM in select theaters)

Probably sometime next week?

btw Detective Pikachu's got showtimes up on Fandango, although you can't buy them just yet. Summer's right around the corner fam

Speaking of entertainment budgets, I feel like part of the reason why Shazam presales are so low, and even why Shazam's looking to just do 55M at most, does have to do with people saving their money for Endgame. Even Dumbo to an extent got hurt by this. Now of course that's not the main reason why Dumbo underperformed. Reviews, mediocre ads, and the whole "people know Dumbo, but is it really that popular?" were all more impactful. But I think the impending monster that is Endgame must have played at least a tiny part of it. The target demos for these movies are either fanboys and/or kids, both of whom are the target audience for Avengers. The GA doesn't have that much disposable income, and I'm sure most of these movies' potential audiences are likely waiting and saving their money for the most anticipated movie of the year and just waiting for them to be available on video/streaming/TV. It's kind of like how Spectre, Mockingjay 2, Peanuts and Good Dinosaur all underperformed relative to expectations, while TFA was coming a month later. Of course, TFA isn't the main reason these movies underperformed, but it certainly didn't help. Even looking at Infinity War, it's no small coincidence that A Quiet Place, a movie that doesn't share that much of an audience with IW did fine, while Rampage went below expectations. Ready Player One, which opened on an identical weekend to Dumbo, having a similar opening and likely similar total to that film can't be a coincidence either. Although weirdly enough, The Last Jedi can be considered the exception to the rule. Marvel's powah I guess?

I got this in front of Five Feet Apart a few days ago and died when they revealed the handsome guy in this was named Hardin.

And if Lionsgate's only showing off Long Shot, that'll be it for CinemaCon.

oh yea this exists
