Following the billion dollar Aquaman movie, up next for DC is Shazam! with tracking suggesting an estimated opening weekend box office of around $40 million â $45 million.
I actually think the estimate is on the low side, but bear in mind the flick has a lower budget than any of the big tentpole DCEU films, so the box office doesnât have to be super high. A $55-70 million opening would be better, I think.Â
Next week also sees the Shazam! advance Saturday screening (tickets now on sale), which will give the film a slight boost. Hopefully, the flick is pretty good, so word-of-mouth will probably help things. Iâm going to see it that Saturday and will report back my thoughts.
