Shazam! failed to break into the leaders in China
Shazam !, based on DC comics, has a much worse start in China than expected. On his premiere weekend, he grossed only $ 30.9 million, which prevented him from claiming leadership at the national box office. And the first place went to a local movie called "P Storm". As noted by the publication Deadline, this is the first time that a Hollywood movie adaptation of comics failed to lead a Chinese premiere weekend. Local movie critics suggested that this was possible because American youth humor was not very popular in China. As for the starting camp of "Shazam!" in USA, they are estimated at $ 5.2 million. They turned out to be less than in Mexico (6.2 million dollars) and in the UK (5, $ 3 million). All in all, outside of North America, the movie earned $ 102 million. Shazam! amounted to $ 53.4 million, which was quite enough to become a leader. The production budget for the tape is $ 100 million. In second place finished another debutant - the new movie adaptation of the novel "Pet Sematary", which raised $ 25 million in North America.
