Black Adam boosts the weekend box office with a strong performance

Black Adam

Black Adam exceeded expectations and gave the box office a much needed juice. The film opened with a reported $67 million, a bit higher than initial predictions. The film also earned an estimated $73 million at the international box office to deliver a worldwide opening of $140 million.

That opening is better than Shazam! which saw $53.5 million its first weekend domestically, The Suicide Squad‘s $26 million opening, and Wonder Woman 1984‘s $16.7 million. The latter two also opened during the pandemic.

While the film’s critical reviews have been rather negative, the audience has been much more forgiving with a generally positive though mixed response. With another two weeks before Blakc Panther: Wakanda Forever hits the box office, the film should have a decent run.

Halloween Ends tops the weekend box office but delivers a sad opening for the trilogy

Halloween Ends

Halloween Ends won the weekend box office with a solid $41.3 million. That was the lowest debut of the new trilogy and might be due to the very mixed word of mouth. 2018’s Halloween opened with $76.2 million and went on to earn $159.3 million domestically. 2021’s Halloween Kills opened with $49.4 million and went on to only earn $92 million domestically.

Internationally, the film opened with $17.2 million for a worldwide total of $58.4 million. It should be interesting to see how well the film does in the second weekend, expect a massive drop but maybe Jason will come back for more as people celebrate Halloween season.

In second place was another horror film and last weekend’s champ Smile which added $12.4 million to its domestic total. It now stands at $71.2 million after 3 weeks. Over the week, the film earned $26.4 million internationally to bring that to $66.4 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $137.6 million.
