It seems that the extended universe of DC movies is on track. After Batman v Superman disappointed the audience, Wonder Woman in 2017 and Aquaman in 2018 got better deals and earned a lot of money at the box office. Shazam, the latest film of DCEU, opened this weekend. He is doing well too.

The film grossed $ 53.5 million in the US and Canada for its opening weekend, which is a good start, of course, but not as strong as other big movies of the DCEU featuring larger and better known characters like Batman, Wonder Woman and Joker. This is the seventh film of the CUSD.

Including ticket sales in advance, Shazam made $ 56.8 million in the United States and Canada, according to Entertainment Weekly, which provided all the box office figures. Shazam was the # 1 movie of the weekend in the United States and Canada. To date, Shazam has made more than $ 100 million in gains in international markets, for a worldwide total of about $ 158 million.

Shazam focuses on a young boy, Billy Batson (Asher Angel), who can turn into an adult superhero named Shazam by shouting "Shazam!" Zachary Levi plays Shazam. The film also stars Adam Brody, Ron Cephas Jones, Mark Strong and Djimon Hounsou. It was directed by David F. Sandberg (Annabelle: Creation) after a screenplay by Henry Gayden and Darren Lemke.
