Shazam! (2019)

You’re right you just make an entire subforum a cesspool by spamming political topics like an autist 😂

GET BACK TO TOPIC!

The new billboard with Captain Marvel chewing bubble gum is cool. Will he be called Captain Marvel in the film? Because the wizard is SHAZAM!

No he wont be called Captain Marvel. He hasnt been called that in the comics for some time.

There was that tv show from the 70's which some people out there would know the character from too

THAT live action TV show on Saturday mornings was what introduced me to Shazam as a young boy, and made me love the character (I know how cheesy it looks now, but childhood is a strong bonding time.) It might have been the first superhero I ever saw in live action.

This is going to be the best movie DC has relased

Unfortunately it's off to a bad start box office wise. Endgame hype completely killed any for Shazam.

Disney is no doubt enjoying the news.

^ Well its apparently only cost $80million. Thats considerably less than Venom and Logan. And not much more than Deadpool.

So they will be laughing if this grosses $500mill worldwide.

But yeah bad positioning right in between Captain Marvel and End Game.

I just hope it makes enough to justify a much bigger budget for the sequel.

Final budget is 100 M. Even if it grosses 400, it will still be profitable. But the OW across the globe look pretty small.

Well I hope WB has their expectations in check for this. The good news is the film is good and WB has other heavy hitters this year.

Seeing this in an hour

I'm glad I caught the early screening but looking at the time table now this did not come out at a good time with Endgame around the corner.

Yeah but that wont justify a big budget sequel.

Sounds like this could be fairly big in China.

This movie should hit tracking and maybe a little more nothig wrong with that.

^ Again thats all fine, but I personally want a mug bigger budget sequel, which will only happens if this banks like $500mill plus Im guessing.

Movie was super charming and lighthearted
I was laughing the whole time, I loved it

^ Wow. If Carthage is saying that then it must be damn good.

OS numbers are low. Should do around 400 million.

I just read the China #'s are looking good and the Thursday previews came in higher than originally projected.

Just got back from watching Shazam. Really, really good movie. I've been crossing my fingers on it for a while, hoping it wouldn't be shit, and it was better than I was expecting. It's very much in the mould of a family superhero movie like the old Superman movies, but it's put together extremely well. Good script, good cast, Levi especially kills it as Shazam.

Thoroughly recommended but with one caveat: If you don't like the Geoff Johns/Young Justice-style take on the character, and want something a bit more serious, you're not going to enjoy this as much as I did.
