Black Adam wins the box office for the second week at number 1, bringing in a total global haul of $250 million.
After a $67 million opening weekend, the biggest for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in a leading role, the DC Films superhero movie continued its box office dominance. Although it is running alongside the formidable Ticket to Paradise starring Julia Roberts and George Clooney, Black Adam continues to lead in the theatrical returns.
According to Variety, the Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema produced Black Adam passed the $250 million mark after 10 days. Dwayne Johnson himself took to his social media to thank the fans who have already watched the movie.
But is it enough to call the newest DC Comics inspired film a success? While the low critical scores on review aggregators like Rotten Tomatoes have been drowned out by the overwhelmingly positive audience reactions, Black Adam has a bit more to go before it can break even financially. With its $195 million production budget and estimated $100 million marketing, the movie has to make $450 to $500 million to roughly break even.
