‘Black Adam’ fails to be the box office hit that Warner – Broadcast (DC)
The most popular superhero film of the year, and on which Warner Bros. has bet almost all its cards, “Black Adam” isn’t turning out to be a box office hit what the company expected. The company expects the film to return to # 1 this Halloween weekend, beating “Prey for the Devil” in the US.
According to the data, the new DCEU film fetched $ 7.5 million in the United States on Oct.29, which marks a drop of 72% since its theatrical release the week before. Some experts expect “Black Adam” to make around $ 24 million in its second weekend. what would mark a substantial drop of 63% from its premiere, in which it raised $ 67 million.
This would be quite unusual for a superhero movie, a genre that tends to make big box office hits. which, according to the information of Variety, could be a slightly higher drop than other genre productions such as “The Batman” (-50%) or “Eternals” (-62%). But lower than Marvel’s “Doctor Strange in the multiverse of Madness” (67%) and “Thor: Love and Thunder” (67%).
On the other hand, the film starring Dwayne Johnson, was the most popular of the fall with a 90% approval of Rotten Tomatoes by the public. So “Black Adam” should have no problem exceeding $ 100 million gross inland this weekend. Which would give him the fifteenth position to reach that amount in the internal market.
But with a budget of 195 million, added to the marketing and distribution costs of the film, certainly Warner Bros. was expecting much higher figures. So the fact that she has only grossed a total, adding up the international box office, of just under $ 167 million, leaves her far from making a profit.
More Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Movies That Surpassed “Black Adam” Gross
Actor and professional wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has more than shown his love for his latest film “Black Adam”, but the figures this film got, they do not come close to what has emerged in their latest projects after the pandemic, which reached a figure of around 800 million dollars.
‘DC League of Super Pets’ (2022), in which he voices Kripto, raised just over $ 200 million on a $ 90 million budget, ‘Jungle Cruise’ (2021) on a $ 200 million budget of dollars, it grossed 220 million worldwide, far from the 800 million of ‘Jumanji: The Next Level’ (2019) or ‘Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw’ (2019) with 759 million worldwide.
