DC’s ‘Shazam! Fury Of The Gods’ Could Strike $85M Worldwide Debut – Box Office Preview
deadline.comNew Line’s Covid-delayed DC sequel Shazam! Fury of the Gods finally will hit theaters this weekend in 77 offshore territories and the U.S.
with a global outlook between $80M-$85M — $35M of that coming from domestic. The David F.

The total theater count for Friday is north of 4,300 locations. Previews start at 3 p.m. Thursday in 3,400 theaters. The L.A.
