With a budget of < $100 million, how much will this have to make at the BO to break even? $1.1 billion?

Depends on the person doing the math.....

Prit'near.  With the issue of Marvel Super-Heroes #12, Stan Lee and Gene Colan created their alien Captain Marvel aka Mar-Vell in December, 1967. 

Yeah, Marvel didn't steal the trademark from anyone; their version appeared over a decade later after the trademark had lapsed. 

+1  True.  Infantino only considered licensing Original Captain Marvel stories from Fawcett in 1972.

I admire the ingenuity and innuendo Fawcett Comics Editors embedded in their Captain Marvel-related publications last issues before shuttering their comic book division.

Captain Marvel Jr. Issue #119 - May 18, 1953 and their Flying Fickle Finger of Fate to National Comics Publications with the final Fawcett Captain Marvel story - Captain Marvel Adventures #150 - August 10, 1953,

and Fawcett's classic swan song cover art which said it all - The Marvel Family Issue #89 - September 25, 1953.   That's all she wrote.

Looky, fellers!  DC Films marketing has redigitized and color corrected the Official Teaser Trailer from SDCC18.  It's like doing a line, astounding clarity and glossy color pop!

They weren't even the first company to grab the trademark, either. This goofy dork appeared in 1966, with the amazing power to detach his body parts.

Oh de rigueur....  De rigueur!  A full fledged BTS detailed video documentary showcasing all the talents of the cast and crew involved in The Making of Shazam! would be welcomed too.

Would revel in their insight on how such majestic cinema was dreamt, coordinated, shot and composited.  Sandberg and Maxime Alexandre are masterful artistic filmmakers.....  drop dead gorgeous.

Was walking around a local antique bazaar when I happened across these.

Spoiler

 

Whoa, WTF!  This Mattel Shazam! action figure of Freddy bears no resemblance to Jack Dylan Grazer and looks like a turd in a blue suit molded out of cheap plastic.

No 2nd trailer? Really weird. I'm gonna see it nonetheless. My friend's brother normally see every comic movie, but for some reason has 0 interest in this one. I think it looks potentially great. He's one of those characters that just FITS a big comedy style IMO. I do tend to think of DC characters as more serious.

Um, aren’t you supposed to kill the buzz? Stop it.

I got daughters I’ll take to see it if it sounds decent. They’re a good excuse for me to go see kid stuff.

If Cavill is not available, why not use the spot on a different hero instead. There is still a Flash movie in the works, so that could be done. Or, if they want to introduce a new hero before a film, why not GL or Batgirl teaser? Just have the suit, not the face.
