It’s weird that even though DC is supposedly trying to make a cohesive universe again, their directors don’t even seem to be in the loop on what’s going on with the other movies. 

I noticied that too.

Feige probably spent a lot of time making sure all the Marvel directors and writers were pretty on the same page;DC seems not to have quite managed to do that yet.

Speaking of Lucy Liu, I watched...again what might be her finest villianess moment this weekend in "Kill Bill". Let

's face it, Liu is a lot more fun when she is evil.

This had a test screening last night. 
 

I wonder if they’ll move this up.

I don't think it has to do with this. Maybe it's just to see if they need to do reshoots because of the kids.

 

The calendar this year and next year is busy. They should move Flash to October, Batgirl in December, Aquaman/Shazam in March and Shazam/Aquaman in June.

A new character being added after test screenings? Or just his name revealed?

Still gonna be like Matrix where it loses all its PLFs. This is just so stupid.

If they were gonna move this to Aquaman’s spot, they could’ve just had it and Aquaman swap release dates. This comes across as needlessly convoluted. 

[belblazer]

Happy for them but they will face the sequel of the biggest movie of all time (again) lol

[exomassey]

This could be great for Shazam though.

 

Look at what the likes of Jumanji, Aquaman and others have done even against big competition.

 

Shazam 2 break out? I’d say so. It’s the only alternative to Avatar.

[AnDr3s]

again shazam fighting against a 2b grosser

[lorddemaxus]

There's an ok spot two weeks before Avatar. Right now it's not only releasing on the same day as Avatar but also a week before Mario.

At Least move it to december 25 if you really want december legs, I really want this movie to do well but this isn't a big movie and it'll get crushed "conversation-wise" by Avatar 2 and also by Marios memory

 

Im still holding on to the hope that Mario will move, probably to november 23 or december 2

Hollywood does not release movies the week after Thanksgiving and 2 weeks before Christmas. Its due to the screen agreements. If released 2 weeks before Christmas, theaters can remove the movie from all their screens if needed during Christmas since screen agreements are only valid for 2 weeks (minus IMAX agreements of course).

 

That is the reason the Thanksgiving to the week before Christmas stretch is the most barren one on the calendar.

I actually think Shazam 2 will be less impacted by Avatar as Aquaman would’ve been. 
 

Shazam could be good counter programming and play well over the holidays. 

[Potiki]

Shazam vs. Endgame and now Shazam 2 vs. Avatar 2 (on the same day)

 

Damn why does Warner hate this franchise, hopefully it still does well though the first film was such a pleasant surprise. 

[John Marston]

I was always expecting this to make similar or less money than the first. Now this cements it. The first Shazam was well received but didn’t blow anyone way, and it will be nearly 4 years with the character not appearing in anything in between
