How many shazam! Made during his opening night

Shazam does not have the kind of name recognized by average movie fans such as Superman, Wonder Woman or even Aquaman. However, the character who plays in comics almost as long as Superman now has his own big-screen adventure, like those top-notch heroes and based on the projection night's screenings, he'll set up respectable numbers against his DC brothers. and sisters. While estimates were that Shazam! was going to cost about $ 4 million, the actual numbers are closer to $ 6 million.

Although it is still a bit early to find out, it looks like Shazam! Thursday night's account of was close to $ 5.9 million, instead of the $ 4.5 million it looked like while everything was going on last night. This is in addition to the paid surveys that Fandango performed a few weeks ago, which means the film has already grossed more than $ 9 million. While this is certainly not going to put the film in the record books, it's a solid figure that puts Shazam! just below from Marvel Ant-Man on superhero preview list, and well above movies like Captain America: the first avenger and even Spider-Man: in the spider worm . He also more than doubled the number of previews of his opening competition of the weekend, the remake of Pet Sematary .

But of course, these numbers are just the beginning. According to Deadline, Shazam! is expected to earn between $ 45 million and $ 50 million during its opening weekend in North America, and $ 100 million or more extra for overseas. If Shazam! was at the top of all its global estimates, it could be marked by a global opening weekend of $ 170 million, which is remarkable.

Since Shazam! did a lot

Shazam! will be the national national box office champion on Monday, as he will publish figures similar to what was announced yesterday. Dumbo acted last weekend even though he behaved only as expected. However, although this film is also experiencing international difficulties, it has spent less than 130 million dollars worldwide, Shazam! International trade should make it a great success.

This is good news for DC and Warner Brothers because we already knew that there were plans for more of the corner Shazam! from the DC Universe. Dwayne Johnson, who co-produced Shazam! was described as evil Black Adam long before Zachary Levi was ever named as the main character. We really expect these two characters to meet somewhere on the line.

Of course, movie charts are about to become even more crowded than usual with comics. Hellboy is expected to debut next week. Which, of course, will be followed a few weeks later by a small independent film entitled Avengers: Endgame.
