Here's some very early box office results for Shazam's opening weekend. This is from Deadline, and it's nice to see the press get behind a DCEU movie. It seems the industry writers know that Shazam is a smaller budgeted picture so there seems to be a rooting factor for it to succeed given how good the reviews are.

Once we get better Friday estimates, we'll see if things change. If Shazam gets over $50 million for the weekend, it will have beaten the projections. Not by much, but good for a headline.
Shazam is definitely a movie that will heavily depend on word of mouth in order to make its box office.
