Shazam! has a chance to score the top spot at the box office for the third weekend in a row, as early tracking predicts a $16 million USD weekend for the film.
New Line is debuting another entry in
The Conjuring universe with
The Curse of La Llorona , which is currently tracking between $15-$17 million USD. However, the horror movie is being savaged by critics and currently has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 33%.
Shazam!, which
had a production budget under $100 million USD (after tax credits), is currently sitting at $260.4M worldwide. Of course, the film's earning will likely suffer a colossal drop the following weekend, when Marvel's
Avengers: Endgame hits 4,400+ theaters in North America.
We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).
