“Shazam! Fury of the Gods” landed the number one spot at this weekend’s box office with $30.5 million, slightly below expectations.

The Warner Bros. film continues the story of teenage Billy Batson who, upon reciting the magic word “SHAZAM!,” is transformed into his adult Super Hero alters ego, Shazam.  Bestowed with the powers of the gods, Billy Batson and his fellow foster kids are still learning how to juggle teenage life with having adult Super Hero alter-egos.
