‘Black Adam’ Rocks the Box Office With $26.8 Million Opening Day, ‘Ticket to Paradise’ Landing in Second Place
. The DC Comics adaptation is debuting 4,402 locations in North America.
With a $195 million production budget, the weeks ahead remain imperative for determining the box office success for “Black Adam.” The film won’t face much heavyweight competition until Marvel’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” hits theaters on Nov. 11. But it could run into some problems with less -than-stellar word-of-mouth.
A $62.2 million opening weekend would be a solid place for “Black Adam” to start. Though it’s not putting up the supercharged numbers of Marvel’s slate or DC’s own “The Batman,” it’s a hefty enough figure, especially for a superhero film centered on a new character unfamiliar to audiences. The weeks ahead will tell the tale of what the public makes of Johnson’s anti-hero.
“Ticket” hasn’t gotten the strongest reviews, landing at a 54% approval rating among Rotten Tomatoes’ top critics. Audiences are a fan though, as evidenced by the “A-” CinemaScore and the film’s already healthy international gross. Although the rom-com is just hitting the states now, “Ticket to Paradise” has been a hit overseas for a month now, earning $72.6 million at the global box office.
