PREVIOUS, SUNDAY UPDATE: Warner Bros/New Line/ DC ’s Black Adam has launched to a $73M weekend from 76 international box office markets. Along with domestic ’s $67M start, the global bow is $140M . The offshore debut is at the high end of the range we saw coming into the weekend, while worldwide is slightly ahead.

The Dwayne Johnson-starrer was No. 1 in the vast majority of its overseas openings, and the top U.S. title in each of them. In like-for-likes, and using today’s exchange rates, the start is tracking 27% ahead of Shazam! .

While critics have been down on Black Adam , working in its favor — somewhat surprisingly for an edgy flick — is the family audience. For example, Australia saw a 90% jump from Friday to Saturday, Korea was up 98% and France +67%. Audiences have given the movie a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is the best for a DC movie in a decade.

The movie performed especially well in markets where DC excels, including Latin America and parts of South East Asia (breakdown to follow below). 

In IMAX, Black Adam grossed $10.8M globally, including $4.5M from 343 offshore screens.

In holdover action, Paramount’s Smile just gets wider as the scarer added $10M for an $82M offshore total. Globally, it’s at $166.3M .

Universal/Working Title’s Ticket to Paradise finally bowed domestically this frame and is now closing in on $100M global with $96.6M through Sunday.

Also notable, Disney began offshore release of Searchlight’s The Banshees of Inisherin with an impressive No. 2 start in the UK behind Black Adam . 

Breakdowns have been updated below.

Beginning offshore rollout on Wednesday, Black Adam grew to a $73M start in 76 markets. The top bows were led by the UK ($6.1M), which is tracking ahead of comps Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle by 33%, Shazam! by 37%, Jungle Cruise by 141% and Skyscraper by 269%. 

Mexico ($5.3M) was next with a 71% share of the Top 5 and tracking roughly on par with Shazam! as well as 48% above Skyscraper , +81% ahead of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle and 396% over Jungle Cruis e.

Regionally, the DC entry was the 3rd biggest opening for a Warner Bros title in Latin America since the pandemic began. Notably in Brazil ($4.9M), this was the second best start for WB during the pandemic and well ahead of comps. 

Australia ($4.7M) came in well ahead of Shazam!, Skyscraper and Jungle Cruise . France ($3.7M) also handily beat comps and is seeing strong performance at leading multiplexes. Overall in Europe, BA topped Shazam! by 48%.

In Asia, the Jaume Collet-Serra-directed pic is running 7% ahead of Shazam! Impressive bows there include Malaysia ($2.2M) which is the biggest opening during the pandemic era for a WB title and Taiwan ($2M) with 91% market share, and the biggest of 2022 for a WB film as well as the second-biggest opening for Johnson.

India is a real standout with $3.5M for the second-biggest DC opening and fifth biggest WB opening ever.

That market is just edging Mexico ’s $4.05M which has topped Halloween Kills, Nope  and  Scream . Germany has cumed $2.7M, overtaking Nope and more than double  Black Phone  at the same point, while on par with Halloween Kills . France follows with $1.9M and Italy ’s $1.3M is more than the totals of Smile, Scream, Black Phone and Nope .

*Denotes new

PREVIOUS, SATURDAY UPDATE: Black Adam added a host of 19 markets on Friday and has now cumed $30.2M through its first three days at the international box office. Friday rocked $15.8M with the Dwayne Johnson-starrer ranking as the No. 1 U.S. film in all 76 markets in release. With these results, we are still eyeing the $70M range for the opening weekend overseas.

In new starts, Friday added the UK with $2M on 1,500 screens and ranking a clear No. 1 with 58% share of the Top 5 films.  The results are +52% over Shazam! , 53% ahead of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle , 129% above Jungle Cruise and 291% ahead of Skyscraper .  IMAX share was a very solid 9% of the total box office.

Also joining the fray, Spain debuted on Friday to $587K on 689 screens. Black Adam dominated the market with nearly 60% share of the Top 5; premium formats are performing very well capturing 4.6% of the total box office. Opening day results are tracking ahead of Jumanji 2 (+38%), Shazam! (+79%), Skyscraper (+187%) and Jungle Cruise (+231%).

Currently, the Top 5 markets through Friday are the UK ($2M), Mexico ($1.9M), Brazil ($1.8M), India ($1.7M) and Australia ($1.7M).

Anecdotally, we are hearing the family play is stronger than expected. 

More to come on Sunday…

PREVIOUS, FRIDAY: Warner Bros/New Line/DC’s Black Adam began rolling out at the international box office on Wednesday, and through Thursday has rocked to $13.8M from 57 markets. Today adds the UK and Spain as overseas release continues.

Initial markets to go on Wednesday included France and Korea . In the former, the Dwayne Johnson-starrer has grossed $1M through its first two days. In Korea, the movie leads all play by a wide margin. It is following the typical cycle in the market of a top start on Wednesday, then a drop on Thursday, and a bounce on Friday and has a running cume of $1.3M through today (that total is not reflected in the two-day offshore cume above).

A notable start on Thursday was India with $1M which marks the second biggest ever debut for Warner Bros and the biggest also for DC. The Diwali holiday is ahead.

Elsewhere, Mexico ’s $850K Thursday start was 9% above Johnson-starrer Jumanji: The Next Level and 63% over his 2018 actioner Skyscraper . 

In Australia , the $750K Thursday opening was 80% higher than Skyscraper and 87% above Shazam!  

Audiences are hungering for new product, and, wherever it lands, let’s hope this is the kickstart for times ahead.

More to come throughout the weekend…

Johnson stars alongside Aldis Hodge (“City on a Hill,” “One Night in Miami”) as Hawkman, Noah Centineo (“To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”) as Atom Smasher, Sarah Shahi (“Sex/Life,” “Rush Hour 3”), Marwan Kenzari (“Murder on the Orient Express,” “The Mummy”), Quintessa Swindell (“Voyagers,” “Trinkets”) as Cyclone, Mo Amer (“Mo,” “Ramy”), Bodhi Sabongui (“A Million Little Things”), and Pierce Brosnan (the “Mamma Mia!” and James Bond franchises) as Dr. Fate.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Announces Black Adam Global Tour

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is set to make his live-action superhero debut on October 21 in Black Adam.  

The film’s premiere is officially less than a month away and it looks like he and his cast mates will be celebrating in style. Johnson took to Twitter to reveal that Black Adam will be going on a global world tour from October 3rd to October 20th, stopping in Mexico City, New York City, Toronto, Atlanta, Miami, London, Madrid, and Los Angeles. The events will include special guest appearances, giveaways, and an early screening of the eagerly anticipated film.

In Black Adam, after nearly five thousand years of imprisonment, Black Adam, an antihero from the ancient city of Kahndaq, is unleashed into modern times. His brute tactics and way of justice attract the attention of the Justice Society of America, who tries to stop his rampage, teach him how to be a hero more than a villain, and must team up to stop a force more powerful than Adam himself.

Black Adam is directed by Jungle Cruise’s Jaume Collett-Serra, and will also feature Aldis Hodge (The Invisible Man, Underground) as Hawkman, Quintessa Swindell (Trinkets, Euphoria) as Cyclone, Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I Love Before, Charlie’s Angels) as Atom Smasher, and Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye, Mamma Mia!) as Doctor Fate.

Black Adam Tickets Are On Sale, See The Superpowered Way The Rock Celebrated

Get your tickets for Black Adam now!

The wait for Dwayne Johnson to play Black Adam has been long, stretching back to even before the DC Extended Universe was conceived . But in a little under a month, the wait will finally be over, as Black Adam is next on the slate of upcoming DC movies . As is usually the case with high-profile movies like this, advanced tickets for Black Adam are now on sale, and The Rock celebrated this in a superpowered way.

Because Shazam! Fury of the Gods was moved to March 2023 , Black Adam will now be the last DC offering among the 2022 movie releases. But there’s a lot being packed into this latest DCEU entry, and now that the folks especially eager to see Black Adam can secure their tickets ahead of time, Dwayne Johnson took to his social media channels, including Instagram , to commemorate this with some of his DC character’s trademark lightning, as you’ll see below:

A post shared by Dwayne Johnson (@therock) A photo posted by on

Along with boasting powers like super strength, super speed, flight and invulnerability, Black Adam can conjure magical lightning, so it’s only appropriate that Dwayne Johnson pulled off this own feat to celebrate tickets for the Black Adam movie going on sale… or at least look like he did. And while I mentioned earlier it’s been since the late 2000s that Johnson has been associated with Black Adam, he was officially confirmed to be playing the character in the DCEU back in late 2014. So yes, after nearly a decade-long wait, partially extended by the release date being pushed back nearly a year, we’re just weeks away from Johnson his live-action superhero movie debut.

Black Adam ’s theatrical release follows three months after the arrival of DC League of Super-Pets , which can now be streamed with an HBO Max subscription and starred Dwayne Johnson as Krypto the Superdog and some other characters . Black Adam spins out of the events of 2019’s Shazam! , which briefly teased the Kahndaqian antihero . While Black Adam will not see Zachary Levi showing up as the World’s Mightiest Mortal, the eponymous protagonist will have his hands full dealing with the Justice Society of America, which consists of Pierce Brosnan ’s Doctor Fate, Aldis Hodge ’s Hawkman, Quintessa Swindell’s Cyclone and Noah Centineo ’s Atom Smasher.

Behind the scenes, Jaume Collet-Serra , who previously worked with Dwayne Johnson on Jungle Cruise , directed Black Adam , and Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani all worked on the script. This is the 11th DCEU movie, arriving over a year after The Suicide Squad (remember that The Batman , which came out in March, takes place in other universe). Ahead of the wide release, Black Adam will premiere in Mexico City on October 3.

The general public will be able to see Black Adam starting on October 21, but once more for good measure, you’re welcome to buy your tickets for a screening now. Naturally we’ll keep you apprised of any updates of Dwayne Johnson’s future as the title character.

Black Adam World Tour Announced By Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Through his official Twitter account, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson announced that he would start a world tour to promote his movie, Black Adam . The Rock stars in the highly acclaimed DC film that gives a new introduction to the Justice Society of America and its members Cyclone, Doctor Fate, Atom Smasher, and Hawkman .

The future WWE Hall of Famer and Hollywood megastar is giving his all to make this movie successful. The actor is ready to make his live-action superhero debut, putting his all into the film. This role will allow Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to enter the DC Extended Universe.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Announces Black Adam World Tour on Twitter

The Rock announced on Tuesday via Twitter, exciting his fans. The statement included a poster indicating the dates and locations where he would promote the film. He also said he would fully support the film. This tour is one of the many promotional strategies planned for Black Adam to be a success and collect millions at the box office. Dwayne Johnson and the rest of the cast that makes up the film will go on tour.

To this end, they have previously released a graphic poster with the names of the cities that will be part of this promotional tour. The Rock has announced that he is strengthening his career as an actor with this new tour. He claims this has been his passion project for over a decade. So, for the actor, the best way to launch it to the world is to tour it. He thanked the fans for their trust and support and said, “Time to deliver. See you soon. Mexico City, you come first.”

Pumped to announce our #BlackAdam Global Tour begins. This has been my 10 year+ passion project and no better way to release it to the world – than by touring the world Thank U so much all for the early excitement. Time to deliver See you soon 🌏 Mexico City 🇲🇽 you’re up first! pic.twitter.com/SO8fI109H2 — Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) September 28, 2022

The Black Adam world tour is expected to last from October 3 until October 20. The destinations where the protagonist and the cast will arrive will be Mexico City as the first stop, then New York, Toronto, Atlanta, Miami, London, and Madrid. The tour would end in Los Angeles, not ruling out other places they may go.

His Debut as a DC Superhero

The Rock has proven throughout his artistic career to be quite versatile. We have seen him in action movies to comedies. But, this role will be his debut as a superhero. The actor has taken this new facet with quite a bit of humor, which has had him joking all year long with the world about his live-action debut in Black Adam.

That will allow Dwayne Johnson to enter the DC universe for the first time. As he previously stated, this new live-action superhero role has been in the works for quite a few years.

Black Adam will air this October 21, 2022, starring Dwayne “The Rock”  Johnson. It will be directed by Jaume Collet – Serra. In addition, it will have an excellent cast: Pierce Brosnan will play Kent Nelson, known as Doctor Fate . Noah Centineo will play Atom Smasher , Black Adam’s great friend and companion. Finally, Quintessa Swindell will play Cyclone , while Aldis Hodge plays Hawkman.

During the production of this movie and to date, there is still a lot of buzz about Dwayne Johnson’s interpretation of Black Adam. Based on the official trailers released , fans are excited to see what Johnson can bring to the table playing this emblematic character. After five thousand years of imprisonment in the ancient city of Kahndaq, Black Adam is released into the modern era. That generates a conflict with the Justice Society because of the unorthodox and brutal methods with which Adam does justice.

That leads the Justice Society to re-educate Black Adam, teaching him to be more of a hero than a villain. But not only he but his team must fight together to stop a force far more powerful than they are.

Is the Black Adam tour stopping by near you? Tell us in the comments.

Dwayne Johnson’s superhero adventure “ Black Adam ” racked up $140 million in its global box office debut, including a mighty $73 million overseas.

Popular on Variety

Jaume Collet-Serra directed “Black Adam,” in which Johnson plays an antihero who is unleashed into modern times after nearly 5,000 years of imprisonment. His baddie tendencies attract the attention of the Justice Society of America, whose members consist of Hawkman (Aldis Hodge) and Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo), who try to teach him to be a good guy.

Elsewhere, Universal’s romantic comedy “ Ticket to Paradise ” with George Clooney and Julia Roberts is nearing the coveted $100 million globally. It’s a huge benchmark for a genre that’s otherwise been written off as dead, at least in the theatrical sense. Yet “Ticket to Paradise,” thanks to a healthy dose of star power, is defying the odds with $96 million in ticket sales to date. It cost $60 million.

Internationally, the film added $4.7 million from 78 markets over the weekend, boosting its tally to $80 million. The top-earning territories include Australia ($9.8 million), the U.K. and Ireland ($9.43 million) and Germany ($9.43 million).

‘Black Adam’ is Dwayne Johnson’s biggest domestic box-office debut as a leading man

• Copy Link URL Copied!

Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Films’ “Black Adam” rocked the domestic box office this weekend with $67 million in ticket sales, according to estimates from measurement firm Comscore, marking Dwayne Johnson’s biggest North American debut as a leading man.

Opening in second place was Universal Pictures’ “Ticket to Paradise,” which exceeded expectations slightly by grossing $16.3 million in the U.S. and Canada — a solid start for a romantic comedy released in October.

Still going strong and rounding out the top three was Paramount Pictures’ “Smile,” which scared up $8.4 million in its fourth weekend for a North American cumulative of $84.3 million.

Review: Style and great supporting players make ‘Black Adam’ forgettably entertaining

There’s a void at the center of ‘Black Adam’ — a charisma-free Dwayne Johnson — but director Jaume Collet-Serra manages to give the film a sense of style.

Oct. 18, 2022

Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, “Black Adam” tells the origin story of its titular hero (Johnson), also known as Teth-Adam, whose powers include flight, superhuman strength, invulnerability, enhanced speed and the ability to shoot lightning. The film’s supporting cast includes Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Pierce Brosnan as Dr. Fate, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher and Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone.

The comic-book adaptation received a dismal 40% rating on review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes and a B-plus grade from audiences polled by CinemaScore.

DC fans have been patiently waiting for Black Adam’s big-screen debut since 2014, when Johnson was cast in the coveted role. Back then, Warner Bros. was planning to launch the character alongside his rival, Shazam (Zachary Levi), in the same movie. That strategy was abandoned, however, and “Shazam!” hit theaters in 2019 sans Black Adam.

Who is Black Adam and why should you care? A spoiler-free guide

Here’s everything you need to know before seeing the new DC film ‘Black Adam,’ starring Dwayne Johnson.

Oct. 20, 2022

“While massive global star Johnson is clearly the box office draw, dramatic roles aren’t his forte, and that’s especially clear here as he delivers a dour and dark dramatic performance that’s lacking his natural charisma,” writes film critic Katie Walsh for the Los Angeles Times .

“Surprisingly, he’s the weak link. ... The director does heroic work crafting a film around Johnson that is fast and entertaining, tossing needle drops and skateboard stunts and movie references and zombies and funny uncles and fire demons in the mix just to keep us somewhat distracted from the void that is Black Adam himself.”

Helmed by Ol Parker, “Ticket to Paradise” stars beloved Hollywood duo George Clooney and Julia Roberts as a divorced couple who end up vacationing together in Bali. The supporting cast includes Kaitlyn Dever, Billie Lourd, Maxime Bouttier and Lucas Bravo.

Review: ‘Ticket to Paradise’ has Julia Roberts and George Clooney, and that’s enough

‘Ticket to Paradise’ doesn’t have any surprises, but who needs them when it can lean on the movie star wattage of Julia Roberts and George Clooney?

The feel-good film earned a lackluster 55% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an A-minus grade from moviegoers polled by CinemaScore. Notably, 64% of the audience for “Ticket to Paradise” was older than 35 — an impressive turnout for a demographic that is generally less likely to show up at theaters.

“‘Ticket to Paradise’ doesn’t invest enough time or energy into the young lovers for you to care whether or not they make it to the altar,” writes The Times’ Glenn Whipp .

“This movie is all about beautiful people, gorgeous scenery and the elders rekindling their romance ... and the time it takes for them to realize their biggest mistake wasn’t their marriage, but their divorce.”

In fourth and fifth place at the domestic box office this weekend were Universal Pictures’ “Halloween Ends,” which suffered an 80% drop in ticket sales and made $8 million in its second weekend for a North American cumulative of $54.2 million; and Sony Pictures’ “Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile,” which collected $4.2 million in its third weekend for a North American cumulative of $28.7 million.

Opening in wide release this coming weekend are Focus Features’ “Tár” and Lionsgate’s “Prey for the Devil.”

Dwayne Johnson ‘s Black Adam flew to $26.8 million at the Friday box office — including $7.6 million in Thursday previews for a projected $60 million-plus opening. Some think it could clear $64 million depending on whether families show up in force.

The New Line/Warner Bros. title is playing in 4,350 cinemas domestically, including Imax and premium large-format screens. Critics are mixed as to the movie, while audiences gave it a B+ CinemaScore and good exit scores. Males purchased 64 percent of all Friday tickets sold.

In terms of past Johnson movies, Hobbs & Shaw opened to a $60 million launch domestically.

In the superhero realm, Thursday previews for Black Adam were ahead of Ant-Man ($6.5 million), which debuted to $57 million in 2015, and Shazam ! ($5.9 million), which debuted to $53.5 million in 2019.

Black Adam  reunites Johnson with his Jungle Cruise  director Jaume Collet-Serra and features a team of heroes new to the DC films: the Justice Society of America. That includes Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo) and Dr. Fate (Pierce Brosnan). As for Johnson, he plays Black Adam — an antihero imbued with ancient power.

It couldn’t be a starrier weekend. The other wide release is Universal’s romantic comedy Ticket to Paradise , starring Julia Roberts and George Clooney . The movie earned a better-than-expected $6.4 million on Friday for a better-than-expected opening weekend of $16 million-plus from 3,543 locations. Friday’s haul included $1.1 million in previews.

Adults in the U.S. have been a tough demo to lure to the multiplex, but Ticket to Paradise is succeeding in convincing them to do so. Females made up the vast majority of Friday ticket buyers (71 percent), while 61 percent of the audience was over the age of 35, including 44 percent over 45.

At the specialty box office, awards hopeful The Banshees of Inisherin , from Searchlight, is looking at a strong per-location average of $44,000 from four theaters in New York and Los Angeles.

* With Nathan James ^ With Jeris Johnson

"Popular Monster" is a defiant statement and triumphant victory for singer, songwriter, bandleader, and provocateur Ronnie Radke , who invented FALLING IN REVERSE inside a prison cell.

Radke fills the fifth full-length from FALLING IN REVERSE with invincible and irresistible songs that resonate across generations and genres. Co-produced with longtime collaborator Tyler Smyth ( I PREVAIL , LIGHTS ), "Popular Monster" is full of confessional angst, bravado, and clever wordplay.

Ronnie formed a series of pop-punk bands in Las Vegas as a teenager, culminating in the creation of ESCAPE THE FATE . The metalcore group's meteoric rise coincided with the singer's spiral into addiction. By the time he was sentenced to two years in prison, the band he started had moved on without him. Some fans, critics, and industry types figured his story would end there.

They were very wrong.

The gold-certified debut album from FALLING IN REVERSE , "The Drug In Me Is You" (2011),arrived less than two years after Ronnie 's release. Thanks to his formative fascinations with metal, punk, and hip-hop, he almost single-handedly revived rap rock with the ambitious "Fashionably Late" (2013). "Just Like You" (2015),debuted in the Top 5 on the US Rock chart. The grungy and atmospheric "Coming Home" (2017) demonstrated yet another adventurous side of Radke 's self-expression.

"Losing My Mind" and "Losing My Life" surprised the so-called "scene" all over again in 2018 when he became the first of his peers to swerve from the album format to standalone singles. "Drugs" explored the American substance abuse epidemic and channeled Ronnie 's own heartbreak.

The massive "Popular Monster" became Ronnie 's first No. 1 song on the radio and his first platinum single less than two years after its release. It was also the first No. 1 song on Billboard 's inaugural Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, which considers airplay, streaming, and downloads. "Popular Monster" eventually went double platinum in the US and triple platinum platinum in Australia. "Zombified" and "Voices In My Head" went to No. 1 back-to-back. "Voices In My Head" was also the No. 1 Song of 2022 at SiriusXM 's Octane . The unconventional, caustic, and super heavy "Watch The World Burn" dominated rock radio in 2023 and improbably became his first Billboard Hot 100 song.

As with the top-notch producers and directors Ronnie has hired to help execute his vision, he'd regularly surrounded himself with incredible live players, resulting in unforgettable performances with various lineups over the years. Radke owns the stage, whether taking the Warped Tour mantle held by MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE , AVENGED SEVENFOLD and FALL OUT BOY in the tour's final years, performing in prominent spots on every major rock festival, or on massive headlining treks.

"Popular Monster" , the album, marks another chapter in the ongoing story of an artist who continually beats the odds, surmounting obstacles (and adversaries) both within and without.

" Radke stands as one of this generation's most revered rock frontmen," wrote the esteemed Forbes magazine in a 2020 profile. "And maybe even one of the scene's last true rockstars."
