The Beach Bum did get 1,050 theatres. Looks like another bomb for McConaughey.

52 Metacritic, 50% RT - seems that Dumbo is getting crushed by critics. Think it's legs will get crushed by Shazam.

I think Shazam will play older. Despite the kid-friendly elements, it's still a DC adaptation.

And Dumbo was doing pretty well here today. Maybe it was the lack of big family films on the market (Wonder Park's seemingly dropped fast since opening). As for reviews, critics just don't care for Tim Burton anymore (funny that he stopped making movies with Johnny Depp and yet he still gets criticized).

Having seen Shazam! I would say it will play perfectly with younger audiences. Early teens will gobble it up, and it will also play well with older audiences too. Definitely a surprise after all the dodgy images that popped up last year for it, but it is played so charmingly it's hard to dislike.

Weekend Estimates

Top 10:
5 points - Dumbo, $45.0M
4 points - Us, $33.6M
3 points - Captain Marvel, $20.5M
2 points - Five Feet Apart, $6.2M
1 point - Unplanned, $6.1M
Wonder Park, $4.9M
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, $4.2M
Hotel Mumbai, $3.2M
Tyler Perry's A Madea Family Funeral, $2.7M
The Beach Bum, $1.8M (listed as 1,110 theaters after all)



PTA:
5 points - Dumbo, $10.5K
4 points - Us, $9.0K
3 points - Unplanned, $5.8K
2 points - Captain Marvel, $5.1K
1 point - Hotel Mumbai, $3.4K





Predictions/observations:

Dumbo looks good for $130M-$140M. More than that seems like a stretch, especially if Shazam takes off.

Us is at $128M. Get out earned $176M, so Us seems on a clip to pass this easily. $200M may be doable.

Captain Marvel now sits at $350M. $400M seems likely, and may get a boost once Endgame comes out.

Five Feet Apart has held pretty well, earning $35M. It could reach $50M, well above expectations.

Dragon 3 will be the lowest-grossing film in the trilogy, stopping just short of $160M. Pretty much as expected.

Madea Family Funeral should pass Madea Halloween for #2 on the list of Madea films in terms of highest gross. It won't pass Madea Goes to Jail.
