Warner Bros.’ superhero film “Black Adam” held onto the top spot in North American theaters on a sleepy weekend, taking in an estimated $18.5 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported on Sunday, reports BSS.
The Dwayne Johnson vehicle, a spinoff from 2019's “Shazam!” has now grossed $182 million internationally.
But its box-office dominance is not expected to survive the arrival next weekend of Marvel and Disney's “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” The release of that highly anticipated sequel will help return Hollywood “to world-class form,” said David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research.In second place for the weekend was Crunchyroll’s anime movie “One Piece Film: Red,” at $9.5 million. The film, drawing warm response from fans of the long-running manga series, is already the ninth highest grossing release ever in Japan, Variety reported.
Universal's rom-com “Ticket to Paradise” came in third, earning $8.5 million, behind the proven chemistry of stars Julia Roberts and George Clooney. It has earned $85 million abroad.
