    I think it's doing OK. Which is reasonable because it was "OK": enjoyable
    but not great.

    INTERNATIONAL (52.1%)
    $73,000,000
    WORLDWIDE

    If these numbers are right for the whole opening weekend it's nothing record breaking but it's ok.

    You can only say this if you know what the portion of people watching
    streaming vs theatrically is.

    Watched it on disk.

    One question, Is he supposed to be Shazam but they changed his name because of the last Shazam movie?

    No. Black Adam is Shazam's(*) long-time adversary in comics history,
    so their origins are connected. The movie completely dropped the ball
    about clarifying any of that.

    (*) Though "Shazam" was called "Captain Marvel" back when it all started.

    It could be noted that the character was named in 1940 by Fawcett
    Comics, so well before Marvel Comics (1961) was in the picture. Based on
    comic book sales, Captain Marvel was the most popular superhero of the
    1940s, outselling even Superman.

    Fawcett ceased publishing Captain Marvel-related comics in 1953, partly
    because of a copyright infringement suit from DC Comics alleging that
    Captain Marvel was a copy of Superman. In 1972, Fawcett licensed the
    character rights to DC, which by 1991 acquired all rights to the entire
    family of characters.

    Owing to trademark conflicts over other characters named "Captain
    Marvel" owned by Marvel Comics, DC has branded and marketed the
    character using the trademark Shazam! since his 1972 reintroduction.
