They should have this release in November 2021 and Black Adam in March.

Maybe. I was hoping Flash would make it for 2021, but 3-4 DC films in that year (dependent on if Squad moves up) seems like the cap. Really wanna know what's happening with that movie, I think those directors could do something very special with it.

i don't really get how this is going to work? asher angel, the kid playing billy, will be 18 when this films. is zachary levi still going to be playing him like a hyperactive five-year old on a sugar high?

Tom Holland is 23 and playing a 16 year old superhero. As long as he doesn't have a huge growth spurt, audiences can still buy Billy as a teenager.

? Billy's been depicted as an adult before, the concept doesn't change.

right but at some point the concept of shazam has to fade a little right? zach levi can’t keep playing him like such a toddler when the actual actor looks well into his teens

I didn’t think Shazam was played like a toddler. I saw it as an excited teenager who was used to having little control in his life and now had powers he never imagined. He wasn’t acting like a 5 year old, he acted like a teenager with superpowers...who also happened to look like an adult in his 30s.

Customary post for someone who was rooting for 165+ dom and at some point thought 150 was locked. sigh.

added 20 after a 16.5 3rd weekend.

so shazam added 1.21x it's 3rd weekend on way to a 2.56x final multiplier*

while bvs added a higher 1.46x it's 3rd weekend on way to 1.99x final multi :lol:

 

shows how skewed the run was. hope they don't mess up the release date in round 2.

 

*removing pre-previews (140.372-3.325)/53.505

else the multi is 2.62x

Wb learned nothing. Shazam would have done 500+ if released in December or maybe even Summer. 

 

Shazam2 will be gobbled up by spider verse and MCU blockbusters coming then.

 

Damn. I completely forgot that the Spider-Verse sequel is coming out a week later.

I assume they’re banking on Black Adam doing well and they’ll probably have a post credit scene leading into Shazam 2. 
 

As long the budget is kept in line this should do fine. I would prefer a few more weeks between this and spiderverse but we’ll see what happens between now and the release date.
