The Black Adam box office is at the top of the box office for the third weekend in a row.
The flick brought in $18.5 million for its third weekend, a drop of around 32% from weekend two.
That gives Dwayne Johnson a domestic box office of $137.3 million.
Worth a mention is that Black Adam is still ahead of Dwayne Johnson’s Fast & Furious: Hobbs and Shaw domestic box office in the same time frame.
The international box office adds another $182.3 million.
Black Adam has a current worldwide gross of $319.666 million.
Reportedly, the film cost around $200 million to make so Black Adam needs to get to around $400 million to break even.
As I reported earlier, Black Adam getting a China release is in doubt which Deadline now confirms.
Deadline says: “There’s been a lingering question about China being in the potential mix, but much as the market loves The Rock, the film is very unlikely to release there.”
Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever gets released this weekend so expect that to take the top spot at the box office this coming weekend.
I actually don’t know why they didn’t release Black Adam the first week of October as the flick would have had the entire month to itself.
