Earlier this week it was reported that black adam it will end up being a big waste of money for Warner Bros. Pictures, but now Johnson has responded to those claims, saying his DC movie will actually turn a profit.
The numerical calculation above indicated this black adam You’ll need to make at least $600 million to break even, but since the film doesn’t even cross $400 million, it’s likely to lose between $50 million and $100 million during its theatrical run. However, in his Chirping page, Dwayne Johnson said that after waiting to “confirm with financiers,” he was told that black adam will benefit between 52 and 72 million dollars. also compared black adamworldwide box office captain america the first avengerwith this 2011 MCU film grossing over $370 worldwide.

From Dwayne Johnson’s point of view, he considers his debut as Black Adam a success and the first step in making this character a major player in the DCEU.
Unfortunately for The Rock, his future as Black Adam may not be as bright as he thinks.

Additionally, Dwayne Johnson “plays” his role in bringing Henry Cavill back as Superman and his position at DC could negatively affect his relationship with the new management, which includes DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran. Gunn remained mum in response to these reported edits detailing how he and Safran are changing DC’s media landscape, so we’ll have to wait and see how Johnson’s Black Adam fits into the picture moving forward, if that’s the case.
