Zachary Levi, Grace Fulton, Jovan Armand, Jack Dylan Grazer, Ian Chen, Faithe Herman in "Shazam"
Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. and DC Movies » Shazam has opened with a terrific Friday at $ 20.5 million, including $ 5.9 million in Thursday's previews, but not $ 3.3 million in national previews two weeks ago. This gives the film an internal consumption of $ 23.825 million and a real chance to surpbad the $ 55 million here tomorrow night. Add to that an A of Cinemascore and we have another success of DC Films. Yes, it will be a lower beginning than even Aquaman$ 72 million (including its own previews) of the launch Friday-Sunday last December, but Shazam is a $ 90 million New Line joint, so the variables are a bit different. At its cost, even a Conjuring-a similar performance (about $ 110 million domestic and about $ 350 million worldwide) would be a solid gain.
In addition, a race like last April's rampage ($ 100 million domestic and $ 428 million worldwide on a $ 120 million budget) would be (at worst) a triple. More importantly, the film received generally positive reviews (91% of fresh reviews and a review score of 7.28 / 10 on average). Rotten tomatoes) and strong word of mouth. Associated to Wonder Woman and Aquamanand it is hard not to claim that DC Films has now gained the benefit of the doubt with respect to the super-hero movies. The fact that this film will bring in about $ 55 million this weekend, although it's a B-level property and a lack of movie stars, is a a sign of both the general strength of the superhero genre and the general popularity of DC Films as a brand that is now quite reliable. .
It also shows that Walter Hamada's DC Films franchise can turn B-level superheroes into A-level movie stars while playing in different franchise sandboxes. Steel man was a drama of first contact of science fiction, Wonder Woman was a tale of the First World War / Greek mythology, Shazam was a kid-friendly horror fantast and Aquaman was … uh … "all the above and more." As Marvel originally did with their Phase One movies, DC takes properties from a lower to higher level and turns them into extremely popular names, while creating unique and convincing cinematographic variations. hero. If we get another team movie, the hook will not be just "Hey, this is the Justice League!", But rather "Hey, Zackary Levi's Shazam is going to meet Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and Jason Momoa's Aquaman. "
Yes, I presume the film will play well abroad (we are probably predicting a foreign arc of more than $ 100 million) and it will be played at least until April 25 around 18 hours. But the melodrama of feisty childhood tinged with David F. Sandberg's horror (which is also a superhero movie) is a very good film. He plays as a mixture of Meet the Robinsons, Antwone Fisher, the first Spider Man and the best part of The Green lantern (a really horrible villain with a lot of character development and dad's serious problems) all mixed up in a child-friendly retrospective that never feels so unique in itself and never sells its drama for the show. Shazam, & nbsp;to be as good as that, shows that Wonder Woman and Aquaman were not moats.
The optimist in me says we could see legs this weekend as Kong: the island of the skull, which has tripled after an opening day of $ 20 million. That would have Shazam about $ 63 million for the weekend, including previews. Even a launch of more than $ 55 million would be a victory, especially because the film is very good and I was waiting for pretty decent legs. Whether it's legs here and abroad and ends closer to Player Loan A than The conspiracy 2it proves that DC Films can do its job without relying on Batman and Superman. If and when we will have more Superman and Batman movies, it will not be because the people at DC Films had to do it, but because they chose to do it.
