Here’s how Shazam! director David F. Sandberg responded to the news.
"
While I’m an impatient bastard who wants people to see it as soon as possible (the film will be fully done in just a few weeks), the move makes sense since Avatar was taking all IMAX/PLF screens,” Fury of the Gods director David F. Sandberg wrote in a tweet addressing his film’ delay. “Fury of the Gods is a big movie [and] should be seen big.
