Shazam Shazam General Discussion and Speculation - Part 2

[Web-Head]

Sweet, that's a very good sign. Those who kept on saying "they're not confident in Shazam!" can be quiet now.

Yes! Great signs. Early social media embargo lift, great early screening buzz, smooth production, no negative rumors, highly likable marketing stuff and trailers with no big spoilers. WB is sure confident. This is could be another winner.

never had an interest in this character but this movie looks likes so much fun and I always root Zachary to do well so i'm there and the kid in this movie was in "IT" as the sick kid?

Yes, Freddy is Jack Dylan Grazer, the awesome Gazebos 'IT' kid.

Just gonna leave this here for you guys.

Looks like there'll be fan screenings a little early too. Not quite as early, but I saw a couple planned for April 1st

That 3 minute sneak peek of Shazam with Aquaman movie (iTunes digital download) is incredible, now I can't wait for this movie !

Is the 3 min sneak peak gonna be on the hard copies of AM?

Might save my first time with the Am BLU ray if that’s the case

Social Media reactions are this week

Wow a month ahead on the social media...almost two weeks ahead of release on the actual embargo? Both great signs!

With a low budget that too means it doesnt need the huge opening to be a hit.

Huh, wasn't expecting it to be longer than two hours. Great sign of confidence of WB to lift the embargo on March 23rd.

I saw some on the 23rd, the same day as the reviews but I believe that was through Fandango and another site.

Yep. It'll be on the hard copy as well

I think we know why it's being shown a month in advance

Yep, this was an early screening website

Original actor for Captain Marvel (Shazam) looks like Jon Hamm. (the pic is not photoshopped.)

All the positive vibes...reminds me of the build up to the Wan Billion Dollar Aquaman

 

[COCOS]

WB must believe the have not only a potential Hit, but also a great Movie but the whole captain marvel release play a huge part in this....u know this movie will have all the attention for a few weeks, so why not lift the embargo earlier

 

[dhandler01]

Cause it would get lost in the shuffle. You let the social media embargo lift now so reactions can build hype the next couple weeks. You dont need much just a bit of steam. Then end of March right when Captain Marvel hype is becoming "old news" (relatively speaking you drop the media embargo have 2 weeks to yourself of good reviews and positive vibes. You dont want to peak too early because this isnt a known character so you space it out over the next few weeks.

Plus unlike CM this is also a family film so it has competition against Dumbo the week before.

If the budget is as low as they are projecting and if the reviews are going to be good then even if it opens where long range projections have it ($40-60m) it could be a hit and make money without much effort. Should have nice legs as well.

I still say this is one of the best superhero costumes in cinema prior to the modern era.
