Box Office: ‘Black Adam’ Debuts at No. 1 With $67 Million, ‘Ticket to Paradise’ Scores $16 Million

,” a superhero adventure starring Dwayne Johnson as a villain who promises to change the “hierarchy of power” in the DC universe, towered over box office charts with $67 million in its domestic debut.

For a superhero origin story, the $67 million start for “Black Adam” isn’t Earth-shattering, though it ranks in line with its fellow DC movie 2018’s “Aquaman” and above 2019’s “Shazam” , which each managed to stick around in theater long enough to validate the hundreds of millions that Warner Bros. spent to produce those films. “Aquaman” had the added benefit of playing around Christmastime, resulting in an especially robust run with $335 million domestically and $1 billion globally.

Thanks to the combined charm of Julia Roberts and George Clooney, “Ticket to Paradise” successfully served as counter-programming against “Black Adam.” And with the challenges facing romantic comedies at the box office, that wasn’t a given — even with Roberts and Clooney in the driver seat.

“These are two of Hollywood’s biggest stars and they still have large followings overseas, where audiences are more loyal to celebrities than they are in North America,” says Gross. “That’s where this movie is making very good money.”

Woah Black Adam!

Bringing in HALF as much as MAN OF STEEL, a decade later - with a 35% increase in ticket prices, after a year of marketing from the supposed biggest star on the planet. If we're talking actual tickets sold, this turd is going toe to toe with G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Congrats!!!

I'm glad the person who made this reference / wrote this tweet, did so, because it's been in my head ever since BlackAdam trailers came out. Bam-ba-lam.

Release it to a wider audience, I want to see it 😎

So bros DID fail because of homophobia.

How much did it cost to make?

Amazing how you try to diminish the achievements of this movie at all costs, isn't it?

Oh boy and they won’t learn a thing

Both BlackAdam & Ticket To Paradise overperformed at the Box Office!

Such a wide gap in terms of reviews between the critics and audiences on Black Adam
