The hierarchy of power at the box office has changed as BlackAdam posts a better opening weekend than Shazam and several other recent DCEU releases, but falls shy of matching recent Marvel releases.
Black Adam is Dwayne"The Rock" Johnson's biggest opening weekend of his career as a Hollywood leading man. Having already become Johnson's biggest opening day ever, with $25 million on Friday, the film will earn $67 million in its first three days.
Black Adam carries a B+ CinemaScore. There's a contrast between critics and audiences on the Rotten Tomatoes review aggregation site. Only 41% of critics have reviewed Black Adam positively, amounting to a"rotten" aggregate score. However, 89% of audience members who chose to review the film on the site gave it a positive rating.
ComicBook.com's Evan Valentine saw Black Adam as a first step in writing the DC Extended Universe's ship. In his 3.5-out-of-5 review of the film, he writes,"Is Black Adam the movie that will singlehandedly bring back the DC Cinematic Universe to stand toe to toe with what Marvel has built? No, but it's certainly laying the groundwork for this to be a possibility down the line.
Also at the box office this weekend, George Clooney and Julia Roberts' romantic comedy Ticket to Paradise opens, horror flicks Halloween Ends, Smile, and Terrifier 2 continue to take advantage of the desire for seasonal scares, while Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile and The Woman King hang on their spots on the chart. The list of the top 10 films at the box office this weekend follows.
