Can anyone buy tickets for the previews?

Not as impressive now that the embargo lifts on that date, when a ton of Audiences will have already seen it!

Most of the audience will not have seen it. But early ticket sales are strong. Predicting 50-60 M OW.

Shazam is just too corny and a kid. The character is lame to me. No way Shazam comes close to WW in terms of being inspirational.

Thats also why hes so much fun.

Will probably be more inspirational given his background as a foster kid.

He does not have the emotional maturity to resonate to adults since he is a child. WW was even inspirational to the JL. I imagine he would geek out like the flash not command respect like WW.

Can't wait to hear the score...

The #Shazam score by Benjamin Wallfisch harkens back to a John Williams Superman type hero score, which is fitting given the material. It plays well throughout, especially the ending, which is sure to bring audiences back again and again for…reasons. @ShazamMovie @joblocom

Yes. You just have to be a VIP Fandango member.

Hes a 14year Old in this. So not much younger than Spider-Man.

Oh yeah no, he wont be inspiring the JL. But his story will be more inspirational.

And Spider-Man is not that inspirational especially comparing him to Thor, Cap, etc. This movie roll be more comedic. We will see I highly doubt it. Especially in relation to his heroic counterparts.

Another screening was tonight...

SHAZAM!: Obviously, terms like “fun” and “crowdpleaser” get thrown around a lot in superhero spheres but this movie really IS a fun crowdpleaser with a lot whole of heart (and significantly more curse words than I was expecting). I like feeling happy after a movie! I feel happy!

SHAZAM is a goddamn delight and reminded me of why I nursed a crush on Zachary Levi for YEARS

SHAZAM! is basically if SHOPLIFTERS was a superhero movie directed by Sam Raimi. it works like a charm from start to finish.

SHAZAM is a human-sized superhero movie without the usual bombast. It has running Santa gags, tons of sweet kids and a clever nod to BIG. And it will charm the socks off of you. Give me back my socks, Shazam.

No one cares dude. You don't have to post every single positive tweet...

I don't care if nobody cares. Lol

Anyway, this seems universally more praised than Aquaman.

And so it begins

I remember the positive word of mouth surrounding Aquaman, which turned out to be an imbalanced movie filled with spectacle but without wisdom.

We shall see.

Aquaman did have positive wom, though. Most critics liked it. However, when the reactions came rolling in, there were a handful of negative reactions. SHAZAM so far doesn't have one.

Another reviewer of RT has chimed in. Grace initially made fun of SHAZAM, but here is her reaction.

Overheard post #Shazam screening from two women “I’m more of a Marvel person, but it was good!” Well I gotta admit, deep down I’m a #DC person and the movie is f⚡️cking AMAZING - review embargo lifts 3/23 ⚡️😎⚡️😎⚡️

Speak for yourself. I like reading them.

Tracking quite low. $40mill OW:

https://m.uk.ign.com/articles/2019/03/14/shazam-box-office-tracking-projection-revealed

I'm predicting 50-60. Those are early predictions. Once marketing kicks in and we get closer to April, the numbers will go up.

From the article

it would be below Aquaman's $67 million, Justice League's $93 million, Wonder Woman's $103 million, Man of Steel's $116 million, Suicide Squad's $133 million, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's $166 million.

Could be the cheap comic book universe if this keeps up. Yikes.

Still three weeks to go and the social media hype is building. This will do over Ant-Man, easily.
