Warner Bros/New Line’s Shazam! has been confirmed for a China release on April 5. That’s day-and-date with the DC pic’s domestic release and comes during a lucrative period at Middle Kingdom turnstiles. April 5 kicks off the Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day. The holiday was an extra boon for WB’s Ready Player One last year.

Walked past an activation they're doing for this in downtown Toronto earlier. shyt looks like a big ass tent.

They're going all the way in on this movie.:ehh:

They didn't do this much PR outreach for Suicide Squad which was a much bigger deal when it was being shot up here.

Edit:



looks like it's a fan event.



they're having an amusement park type event in London on the 21st & 22nd.. im def gonna try and go

Box Office: Here's What 'Shazam' And 'Pet Semetary' Might Gross On Their Opening Weekends

Fresh off the tracking boards, we have the first official pre-release tracking for the big April 5 releases. First up is DC Films' Shazam, which is currently projected to open with around $45 million in its initial Fri-Sun run. For the record, David F. Sandberg's DC Films flick cost around $90m to produce, about on par with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and Venom, so it doesn't have to break records in order to break even. Warner Bros. is sneaking the movie on March 23, during which the embargo will drop.

The hope is that the sneak preview will spread word-of-mouth both about the movie's quality and whether or not it's safe for kids. I saw the film last night and while I am currently under said embargo, I can say that you can absolutely buy a ticket for one of those sneak preview showings right here. Click on that button right there and presto! Go and take care of that and then come back to this post. Go... do it now!!

The hope is that presumably strong reviews (the social media embargodropped last week) and solid week-of-release buzz will push that number upward or at least allow it to stay the course. A $40 million-to-$45m launch for a $90m superhero flick would be just fine, especially as the film may or may not be quite different in scope, scale and tone from both Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame and thus may well survive getting surrounded by the MCU mega-movies.
