Not surprised tbh. It doesn't look very action heavy. Still hyped nevertheless.

Well it doesn't look like it's gonna be an action film, more like a comedy with action at the end.

I would've guessed a superhero movie like this would've had a budget of at least 120. But when I think about it, it makes sense. I mean, this movie doesn't look very CGI heavy.

So when it flunks atleast the money invested into it wasn't alot

Thought it was less by the trailer.

Woop wise choice keep budget low

10 million alone on his costume. There are 10 of them. 1million apiece. So part of that 90 million was on his costume.

The movie did seem low budget in the trailers.

Wtf, I definitely don’t want to see this now. They’ve essentially established him a very sub par character when compared to Superman now. Well it doesn’t matter anyway, DCEU isn’t doing connected movies anymore.

doesnt really need to be ridiculous expensive. Plot is the most important thing and making this a fun engaging film is win

Ikr? How will people respect Shazam when he is worth less money than others in the league?

And here I was hoping they'd showcase his powers a decent amount, I'll still see the movie though, maybe it will still be decent.

I think it's going to be more aimed at a younger audience and be more of a comedy with action rather than just a big action blockbuster.

With a budget like that, the film is guaranteed to be a success, only needs to make 500 million and superhero films do that casually.

Looks like it barely has any action.

@lone_wolf_and_cub: Not really the article then stated that the price of million per piece is inflated and is probably not true.

As long as the script’s good it should be alright. The Geoff Johns comic the movie seems to be based from was fairly self contained.

I will not trust budget released by WB. According to them Wonder Woman and Aquaman has same budget. Yeah right!

@geraldofvengerberg: And that can't be because...? Unless ypu are an expert from the industry who knows exactly what is how expensive you can hardly judge it. Pick a more expensive shooting location and you only have quarter of the money left for cgi buildings.

Heck if the rock was still in shazam they probably wpuld hqve half the money for everything else they currently have.

That was expected, no?

Shazam

Aquaman

It's what you do with the budget, not how big it is. I mean, I'm assuming that Black Panther had a bigger budget and yet people were complaining about its CGI.

Well, that's par for the course for that character, that DC never tried to really prop up, for fear that he would supplant Superman (like he already did before, when he was at Fawcett's).

Still, you can make real good movies with a reasonable budget. I am rooting for this film.

Legend of Tarzan had a huge budget and the CGI was straight ass.

Hollywood is known for tinkering with their film's budget including inflating budget of successful movies so that their taxes at end of the year is reduced. Here is the Link of the scummy practises they have done

What? D:

1. This barely looks like an action movie.
2. Walter Hamada is great at managing budgets.

Viners: Dceu spend too much bucks on their movie

Also viners Shazam budget is not high enough

I’m just reiterating, that a budget that small for a character who’s supposed to be a power house will not end well. Judging from the audience, no one wants to see a comedic superhero film with teenagers and meager action. I’ll be the first to predict that this movie won’t make past 300 mill. Even if the alleged budget is 90 mill, something doesn’t add up.

Who cares 'bout the budget.

Wow this movie will be profit no matter what

I think this one will be a sleeper hit for DC.

@mr_shazam0920:
yeah man im excited for it more than i am for Endgame to be honest.

Whaaa? That’s it?!

Not surprised

The director only Make One Movie Which was also a low budget film.

@phisigmatau:

Now I wouldn’t be able to say that lol.

@mr_shazam0920:

yo mr shazam

It's a safe plan especially when it's gonna squeezed by both captain marvel & endgame.

@thanos_thebadas: It looks very action heavy.

80-90million or 800-900million?

Switch out Zac Levi with Downey Jr and the budget would double just because of the salary. I dont think the salary involved in shazam is particularly high so that has saved them alot of money. And also dont trust any budget rumors. The only one who really knows are the ones paying for it. I think the budget for this is close to WW

The movie can still hold well, it doesn’t mean it’s a bust.

Who cares Homecoming and Black 2 had bigger budgets and the CGI sucked

@tethadam: not really probably the same amount of action Captain Marvel will have

So? It's not like a bigger budget automatically means a better movie. We should wait for the film before going "OMG, NOW IT'S GONNA SUCK BECAUSE X".

They can make this profitable
