Shazam! is projected to earn as much as $40 million domestically during its opening weekend, beginning on April 5, 2019.
As reported by Variety, DC’s latest film, Shazam!, if early tracking predictions hold, will beat out other films releasing that weekend – Pet Sematary and The Best of Enemies – as well as the second weekend of Dumbo and third weekend of Jordan Peele’s Us.
DC is surely hoping that Shazam! will have a similar run to Aquaman, which recently crossed $1 billion at the global box office and its sequel has already been scheduled for release in theaters in 2022.
