With $140 million, Black Adam by Warner Bros. and DC Films debuted first at the global box office. In its domestic opening weekend, the superhero movie generated a better-than-anticipated $67 million, while an additional $73 million came from foreign countries. With a December 2 release date in Japan, Black Adam is currently showing in 76 different countries.
With premium formats making up 33% of the total, IMAX contributed $10.8 million of that opening. This film, starring Dwayne Johnson and with a reported $195 million budget, has the biggest domestic debut of any Dwayne Johnson star vehicle outside of the Fast and Furious series. It was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra.The third-largest opening for a W.B. title during the pandemic era was Black Adam in Latin American territories. In India, where Diwali is a national festival, the movie grossed $3.5 million over its prolonged opening weekend. $2.2 million, $2 million, and $1.4 million of the total revenue were earned by Malaysia, Taiwan, and Indonesia, respectively. A $1.1 million profit was made by Singapore, while $1 million was made by the Philippines.
Black Adam may not yet have the kind of staying power required to be considered a true smash, but this is still a respectable outcome for a superhero film that only earned average reviews and didn’t star any A-list comic book characters. Along with Pierce Brosnan as Dr. Fate, Mo Amer, Bodhi Sabongu, Sarah Shahi, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Marwan Kenzari as Sabbac, Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone, and Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Johnson appears in the film.
The movie was directed by Collet-Serra from a script by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani. Johnson, Beau Flynn, Hiram, and Dany Garcia are the movie’s producers, and Toby Emmerich, Richard Brener, Dave Neustadter, Chris Pan, Walter Hamada, Adam Schlagman, Geoff Johns, Eric McLeod, and Scott Sheldon are the executive producers.Currently, Black Adam is performing in theatres.
