Warner Bros. has continued to strive to bring the DC Universe to the big screen. Although most of the films released have been successful, the release of these films remains a challenge. However, the next DC movie will be here in no time and stars one of the world’s biggest movie stars in Dwayne Johnson, so perhaps it’s no surprise that black adam looking to have an impressive opening weekend.
According to THR , black adam it is currently heading towards a $ 70-75 million nationwide opening weekend. It would take the film back a bit from what Poison did so in October 2018. This film far exceeded expectations en route to an $ 80 million opening.
Really, the black adam numbers should be considered as good, if not better than PoisonKeeping in mind that these are pre-pandemic numbers, and while we’ve seen some movies do very well after the pandemic, most movies still have to deal with box office numbers affected by the pandemic.
$ 75 million is a solid number for a non-summer opening weekend for a new superhero franchise. And of course, the film won’t be out for a few weeks, and as the hype grows from now to its release, it’s likely that if the numbers change, they’ll likely pick up where they are now.
black adam it’s an interesting case when it comes to recent superhero films, as the genre is generally character-driven, with audiences eager to see a particular hero on screen and less attention paid to who plays the role. As it turns out, Black Adam is not a well-known character to the general public, so Dwayne Johnson’s star power will play a part in him to get people to go to the theater.
The success of black adam is potentially a big deal for Warner Bros. and future DC movies on the list. We initially expected Aquaman: The Lost Realms and so Shazam! : The fury of the gods will be out later this year, but now the films and the flash they are in the 2023 film release schedule. black adam is the only DC film to be released in the final months of 2022, making it the studio’s latest potential hit this year.
Between Dwayne Johnson himself as Black Adam and the fact that the film will also feature the Justice Society of America, the franchise opportunity for black adam it is quite tall. Black Adam and Shazam are expected to cross paths at some point and of course black adam as an independent franchise for Johnson, it’s a great possibility.
