Despite Shazam! having the lowest opening weekend out of all the DCEU films so far, it is still considered a success given the film’s $80-90 million budget. Shazam! also earned $102 million overseas, bringing its worldwide total to an impressive $158.6 million. Development on a Shazam! sequel is also already in the works along with a Black Adam solo film starring Dwayne Johnson. With the successful opening weekend, Zachary Levi thanked fans on Instagram with the caption:
“Thank you, ALL of you, who have gone out of your way to fill the theaters this past weekend to see and support @shazammovie! The outpouring of love that y’all continue to show is beyond my wildest dreams. I’m genuinely speechless. And for someone who often times doesn’t know when to shut up, that’s really saying something. If you haven’t had a chance to see our movie yet, I really hope you do as soon as you get the opportunity. I believe it to be a truly joyous experience. And for all y’all out there who have seen it, and enjoyed it, I hope you’ll continue to spread the good word! We made something good, and it makes people feel good, and that’s just the bees-knees y’all. The beesiest of knees”

Directed by David F. Sandberg, Shazam! stars Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Mark Strong, Jack Dylan Grazer, Grace Fulton, Faithe Herman, Ian Chen, Jovan Armand, Cooper Andrews, Marta Milans, and Djimon Hounsou.
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).
Shazam! is now playing in theaters!
