Black Adam | October 21, 2022 | New Line | Don't worry, it's a hit. Dwayne Johnson says so!

It didn’t look good. It’s apparently not good. 
 

No surprise whatsoever.

The Metacritic score went up a bit to 44 with 24 reviews, so that’s…something, I guess.

I still want it to do good, for theater' sake

I’m sure it’ll still open over $50m+. 
 

Horror has been doing the heavy lifting for the past month or so. Time for a superhero film to bring some people in.

Reactions have a real 45% on RT kind of energy. Should still do fine enough financially I guess.

46% with 35 reviews.

This is definitely not going above $50M in its opening weekend. I imagine most general audiences will sit this one out after seeing these reviews and save their money for Wakanda Forever in less than a month.

Reviews sound a lot like Aquaman 2.0, where did that end up?

Ehh...the tone of most of these is worse than Aquaman imo. Plus nothing in the marketing or reviews has really suggested that the action is as good as Aquaman.

50M would be ok, but i wanted more

 

If these comic book movies keep underwhelming, what will theaters play that make the big bucks? The CBMs were their bread and butter for the past decade. I see the downfall of CBMs as the way for streaming to really cement themselves and theaters die

Something big will replace them. We'll be fine.

Does everything have to be described as a cinematic universe nowadays? 

[fabiopazzo2]

Batman will be the Best Cmb of The year. I dont think Wakanda will have a great score so

It’s CLIMBING!!!!

[OncomingStorm93]

50% on RT with 42 reviews is a massive yikes. I'd guess Black Adam is on a trajectory for 35%.

[excel1]

Critics whining that it feels "familiar" are not necessarily hurting its box office prospects, they said same thing about leggy hit Jungle Cruise.

47 at 47, I sense a trend, 90 at 90, then 300 at 300  incoming.
