I think they're being tongue-in-cheek, given the whole "a superhero movie every two weeks" thing. It's a very Deadpool-esque thing to do, and to be honest, they should have done more of that.

Sequel will be much bigger, we all know this. This is such a kids movie, walk ups will be huge but as have been saying, not seeing a huge 70m+ breakout in opening weekend.

 

GREAT films find an audience though, always.

Yep. I think that it got sandwiched between events such as CM, US and EG so the audience isn't exactly rushing, but if their reaction overlaps with critical praise, it should leg it up like Spiderverse, another one that opened OK but then showed some serious muscle.

Lmaooo thats why Shazam has no dc intro.

 

I wanted custom logos within the movie rather than separate ones before the film.

And also I forgot about that one... 🤷‍♂️ https://t.co/t0nhPGLzdn

Spiderverse is a great comparison. Or maybe even Batman Begins. I just hope there are some screens left after the EG tsunami arrives.

Shazam should be fine in the long run and hopefully make a nice little Worlds of DC for itself, but while the optimist in me would like to agree with your second part... eh, Paddington 2 would beg to differ.

Lost in translation ?

This is getting bad reviews by french critics.

Still a bit early which means not a lot of reviews in but still ...surprising.

Yeah that would be great if did something like only 40 but had monster legs to get to 200+ DOM. Still hope it has a great opening but we shall see.

Perhaps. Rotten Tomatoes is 92% with 111 reviews.

With EG 3 weeks later, long term legs are nonexistent. It would need to be  big on the opening to hit 200m

I get that rationale but not so sure I agree with it.

The release date sucks so bad now. Just three weeks before EG eviscerates it. And by the end of just the second weekend, the whole world will be in the EG countdown mode.

The release date is just so bad ......If this under-performs WB deserves it for choosing this date.

[Essem]

Yea the release date is beyond terrible. If this had Aquamans spot last christmas its not too much of a stretch to say it would have done double of what it will now.

gosh there's always room for every movie,u know people can watch 3 movies/ day right......

[Krissykins]

Lol at Thrylos7 still putting laughing reactions to posts where people say they enjoyed this film.

 

Even though it’s 90%+ fresh, has been for weeks and he hasn’t even seen it.

 

Must hurt to be so out of touch.

The reports from overseas are not promising. The jokes are not translating well to Overseas Audience. 

 

Ant man was more of physical comedy so it did good Overseas. 

 

I am thinking WW total of 450-500M will be good scenario right now.

By overseas do you mean countries that don’t speak English? 

 

Cause it got big laughs from my UK audience.
