Weekend Box Office: Dwayne Johnson has his best leading man opening ever with Black Adam
As expected, Black Adam easily took the top spot this weekend with $67 million, representing a personal best for the always likable Dwayne Johnson in a leading role. ($53.5m opening, $140.3m domestic total) while it is a far cry from titles such as Man of Steel ($116.6m opening, $291m domestic total), Batman v Superman ($166m opening, $330.3m domestic total), Suicide Squad ($133.6m opening, $325.1m domestic total), Wonder Woman ($103.2m opening, $412,5m domestic total) and even Justice League ($93.8m opening, $229m domestic total). With no big releases until November 11 when Black Panther: Wakanda Forever releases (and is expected to have a massive opening) you can expect Black Adam to remain atop the box office until then. With nearly $85 million made at the domestic box office, Smile has made more than five times its production budget. This weekend represents the first time the combined box office was over $100 million since the weekend of July 22 when Nope topped the box office.
