Shazam is going to earn respective amount of money at box office.
You all are acting like this is JL all over again. DC is doing very good and I am very excited for BOP and WW84.
Joker doesn't look my type of movie though.
People are not acting like this is justice league. JL had a huge budget almost triple Shazam’s budget. It was a team up movie and was supposed to gross over a billion. Only idiots think this needs to do more than 500-600 to be a hit and a success.
now if it does more than that then it’s a break out and a well deserved one and I hope it happens. If It doesn’t and it grosses between 500-600 then that’s great and it’s a success.

Imagine hating female lead anything just because it’s female lead. Tragic.
That is not the reason over hating Captain Marvel. Only ignorant people say that. The reasons ( yes reasons ) over hating Captain Marvel from some people are many. No movie was defended like this one from the few that hated it. Not going to go into details since this is not the captain marvel thread ..... wait .....

This movie isn’t even on the same planet in terms of hype like CM was. Shazam wasn’t the after credit scene in one of the biggest movies of all time.
People who wanted Shazam to do better just cause they hate female lead super hero movies are idiots. It’s fine if you want Shazam to do better cause you like the character more or the movie more but you have to be realistic about what this can do.
Some people purposely start the really high ceiling just to shit on the movie later for not reaching the supposed expectations .

Just speaking anecdotally and from what I've seen online, I think there's a rather large gap in the response to this film between the male and female audience.
A lot of men are just like: "Meh, this is just another origin story. Seen it all before."
Women, meanwhile: "Holy shit is this film ever capturing my experience and what it means to exist as a woman in its depiction of Carol!"
I really do think it's (maybe) the first big-budget superhero film specifically aimed at a female audience and told from a female perspective. And I, for one, hope Marvel continues doing this sort of thing -- especially now that both BP and CM have proven how enormously financially viable taking that route is.
Yet Wonder Woman’s audience skewed more female than male while CM skewed more male than female.I have personally seen as much females not liking or feeling meh about CM as males. Also I have seen males say they really enjoyed and liked CM just like I’ve seen women say that.

IMO , new superheros are fresh and great to explore but that doesn’t mean we have to put Superman and Batman on the shelf. These are timeless characters. No matter how much they screw up with them they still bring in audiences. It is time for them to treat them right specially Superman. There is no reason why WB can’t do new and fresh Sperheros ( in terms of live actions adaptations) with the old timeless ones.
That said , the flash movie needs to be on point because this is a character that has potential to be as popular as spiderman when done right.

Don’t be hasty , still 45 reviews in. But it looks like a sure win critical wise. I’m hoping for good box office to boost. My expectations are on the low side because of end game though.

Hollywood thinks all brown people look the same.
This is sad. At least they should get her clothes right if not her race. It takes me out of the story. But I am still looking forward to it.

I am excited for this but why does Jasmine look Indian? She wears Indian clothes. Feels weired. The story should have an Arabian look to it. Felt like I’m watching an Indian Aladin ....
Jafar is miscast . His voice and face lacks the malice of the one in the movie. It makes me wonder what they were thinking when casting him. At least his clothes look good.

Months ago this had $700M potential, crazy to see it slowly lose steam.
How come? I think from the very beginning most people were predicting 200 to 250 DOM and 500 WW myself included in this very same thread.
It is something new and some GA would look at it as if it’s kids stuff. And it’s sandwiched between two huge blockbusters. I would love to be surprised like I was with Aquaman. But the 500WW mark is good for this on this budget.
can’t wait to see it in theaters.

It's a little weird that a movie that's focusing on a female lead on International Women's Day is more male skewed than usual.
And yet somehow only white males are the problem and are trolling this movie. I wonder how many white males are going to the cinema and paying money for this? Probably the biggest percentage of the audience.

Making Broly canon is paying off.
Even though I am a manga reader / anime watcher / gamer / comic fan and a geek in every way, I still can’t get into dragon ball for some reason. Not even the fights ( which I expected to be better than Naruto from all the hype around them but weren’t really) made me like it enough to watch the whole thing. I want to watch it to understand what friends around me talk about but I just can’t get into it.

Hey I remember you, taken a long vacation from this board?
Took a long break from everything. I was working outside my country for years. Left everything and came back home. It took me a while to settle down.

I have never imagined Aquaman hitting a billion. This was shocking in good way. I knew it will do good but not THAT good. It was a pleasant surprise

This movie only needs to hit a 500M global box office cume to be successful.Anything over that will be icing on the cake and a great win.

Dumbo seems good for O/U $200m dom, Simba will be the King of 2019's box office, but Aladdin's gonna get shit-faced. $125m dom total?
Why do all of you think it will flop? I admit I avoided the trailers just because. Is the trailer that bad or are there other issues?

Aladdin I think could go in a lot of different directions. It's certainly the one that might actively receive the strongest backlash, and might legit flop.
I am curious why you think that? It’s actually the only one out of the three mentioned that I want to watch.

IT is phenomenal.....

Can’t wait. Will see it next week. For some stupid reason we don’t get anything WB in Syria ( stupid politics, seige and sanctions ). I have to travel to Lebanon to watch these at the cinema. Traveled for Aquaman and will do it for Shazam.
