Gatsby77 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Now down to 42% positive on Rotten Tomatoes. It's the answer! But - valiantly keeping just out of Justice League (39%) and Batman Forever (39%) territory. Phew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Bosco's probably beaten me to this, but Black Adam made 25 million on Friday, making it Johnston's best opener ever. https://deadline.com/2022/10/box-office-black-adam-dwayne-johnson-1235151785/ Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondCityComics Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I'm not liking that real people seem to be enjoying this movie. Just crossing my fingers that it performs poorly at the box office or I'm going to be miserable for weeks.

D84 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 This movie has stayed with me more than most I've seen in a while. I'm seriously considering going again. Maybe not this weekend, but maybe catch a matinee during the week. theCapraAegagrus, Bosco685 and eastriver400 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaydogrules Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Who cares about critic or audience scores? Let's talk about the money. Even if this gets to $65MM for the weekend, that's still less than half what batman made , on the same budget, and only $10MM more than what Shazam made 3 years ago on half the budget which didn't have "The Rock" in it. These certainly are "flop" numbers in the making. -J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 Quote Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam flew to $26.8 million at the Friday box office — including $7.6 million in Thursday previews for a projected $60 million-plus opening. Some think it could clear $64 million depending upon whether families show up in force. While $60 million-plus would be among Johnson’s biggest box office debuts in a leading role, it’s a relatively modest start for a superhero pic. At the same time, his films are known to have especially strong multiples (which it will need to cover a production budget in the $195 million to $200 million range, including reshoots).

Gatsby77 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Not great, given this was tracking at $70+ million just 36 hours ago. Also, The Mummy 2 opened to $68 million domestic more than 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
