SHAZAM is a sleeper hit, according to Forbes:And with a probable domestic finish just over/under Mad Max: Fury Road‘s $153 million finish, and a worldwide finish probably over/under $385 million worldwide (it earned $61 million global over the weekend), it’s a relative success. Whether or not it gets stomped by Avengers: Endgame in two weeks, it’ll have made most of its money already. With $259 million worldwide as of today, it’s safely in “break even” territory and will absolutely be profitable.
Meh, "sleeper hit" makes it seem like it did better than it did. Sure it turned a profit, but let's not pretend it blew shit out of the water.
I did legit laugh at the "Whether or not it gets stomped by Avengers: Endgame in two weeks" comment. It's 100% guaranteed to happen. Endgame will return at least 4 times times what it cost to make/market. I'm thinking 2.5 billion.

It actually did better than expected, numbers wise. Some of the tracking was only predicting 25-30 million opening weekend.
