Warner Bros.Warner Bros. and DC Films’ Shazam opened with a terrific $20.5 million Friday, including $5.9 million in Thursday previews but not including $3.3 million in national sneak previews from two weeks ago. Couple that with an A from Cinemascore and we have another DC Films hit. Moreover, a run like last April’s Rampage ($100 million domestic and $428 million worldwide on a $120 million budget) would be (at worst) a triple. Shazam, being as good as it is, shows that Wonder Woman and Aquaman were not flukes. If and when we get more Superman and Batman films, it won’t be because the folks at DC Films had to, but because they chose to.
