‘Black Adam’: Dwayne Johnson is already working on “the next thing” from DC

‘Black Adam’ had a good first weekend at the box office. Not only did it become Dwayne Johnson’s best debut as a star in the United States, it also climbed the box office charts in most territories where it was released. The DC film grossed an additional $ 73 million in the 76 countries in which it was released, giving away an opening weekend of $ 140 million worldwide.. Good data, even if he has to continue working in the next few days to make a profit (the film’s budget is estimated at around 185 million dollars). But for now it has the support of the public. 90% of user ratings (over 2,500) are positive, averaging 4.4 out of 5. One of the best ratings DC has had from viewers (it is only surpassed by 94% “Zack Snyder’s” rating. Justice League “).

In Spain, reports Com scoreJaume Collet-Serra’s film became number 1 of the weekend, ousting ‘The crooked lines of god’. Soon we will see with which collection, but it does not seem to have had a problem in imposing itself on the rest of the news of the week. In second position we find another novelty: ‘Lilo, my friend the crocodile’.

Dwayne Johnson must be very happy with this reception, especially since he sold on the press tour that “Black Adam” is the cornerstone of a new era in the DC universe. For now, he has assured on his Twitter account that they are already working on Teth Adam’s next step in the franchise: “I’m working on ‘What’s Next’ as I write this. Exciting times. Stay tuned.”. Beau Flynn and Hiram Garcia, producers of the film, promise fans that the next film of the character “it will go faster” of this first, which took 15 years to hit theaters since The Rock was announced as the lead.

Thank you very much.
