Shazam says the magic word, opens to #1 at the box office

Warner Bros. and New Line’s Shazam! opened at the #1 spot at the domestic box office, bringing in $53.45 million, exceeding estimations and gaining an A Cinemascore. Internationally the film brought in $102 million for a worldwide opening of $158.7 million. The film has the lowest domestic opening for a DCEU film, but also a markedly lower budget than the likes of Aquaman and Justice League, meaning that the film won’t need to hit the $1 billion mark to be in the green.
