Black Adam movie might bomb

[Babayagawick85]

WTF is with neckbeard degenerates and Rick & Morty? I unfortunately know a neck beard that literally spilled chocolate ice cream on carpet and left it there while playing a Nintendo system. He loves Rick & Morty. He's also a fat, arrogant gay bear, that's so condescending towards anyone conservative, yet there he is wallowing in his own fat filth.





Still GOAT

What a ****ing legend chad lmaooooo

The movie budget was like 150-200 mill. Since it made back it's budget domestically then when it hits international theaters it could make back 2x and be considered for a sequel. Factor in dvd/blue ray sales and yeah, movie looks pretty damn profitable.

[JUSA]

Kind of hope it pays off -- sounds like it's ditched most of the woke identity politics chit that Marvel has embraced.

67mil with a budget of 195mil

It will be profitable, but barely.

Did anyone here see it or heard from somebody that did?

We never spoke so you did not repeat this with me; i know you as the overly aggressive angry tiger woods son hater.
Not a fact, look at the guys imdb and hit movie history.
People pay to see the rock, tom cruise, more than they would you in a movie after some acting lessons.
You can repeat it ad nauseam, but that does not make it truth, correct, or factual.

you stated that it doesnt matter if it bombs because he gets his 22 mill anyway

IT ABSOLUTELY MATTERS because if it bombs he wont get 22 mill next time. If he actually got 22 mill this time, thats because his movies obviously do rather better than the misc gives him credit for. And thats without even getting into receiving proportions of box office sales

Usually blockbuster movies have to make at least double the budget of the movie in order to be profitable if you factor in advertising cost and the fact that they don't get 100% of ticket sales from movie theaters. The movie better show in China otherwise, it's going to lose money.

That’s just domestic

Globally already over 150 mill and word of mouth is spreading fast that it’s a good movie.

Once again, basically the opposite of the critics.

Marvel should take note.

DC coming for dat ass

That's half of what mediocre marvel movies pull.

Thor: Love and Thunder grossed $343.3 million in the United States and Canada, and $417.4 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $760.7 million.[4][5] It is the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2022.[169] The film's opening weekend earned $303.3 million globally,

theres going to be a second movie cause of the mid credit scene

"Studio executives concede that the payouts at Netflix, Apple and their ilk have caused some actors to raise their quotes. Johnson, for instance, asked for and received $22.5 million to play the lead in “Black Adam,” a DC superhero movie. In addition, he will receive millions more for producing the film and earns a fee on top of that to promote the movie on his social media channels."

cliffs: superstars not minor stars play by different rules....

[Ravishing_Rick]

This is kind of my thoughts as well. It was better than I expected. DJ sucked ass though and looked too old and too big to play the character.

the gear really got to his face and aged him terribly

[Maestro]

Eh, IDK if that guarantees a sequel. I think it means that his character will come back (maybe in another DC movie)

The movie wasn't bad, it was just incredibly and PAINFULLY generic and cliche. You can figure out whats going to happen from act to act. It just checks off all the most cliche superhero tropes and shoves it into a 2 hour movie. Its the kind of movie that would have been "good" if it instead came out in, like, 2010.

More to the point, I had always been under the impression that if Black Adam reverted back to his normal form he'd crumble to dust because he's like, 2000 years old....At least thats how I remember it from the comics.

The chit-head kid was annoying as hell and Dr. Fate (who is the best part of the movie) was just a ripoff of Dr Strange. Fate has a much more diverse arsenal of skills, but they just copy and pasted All the chit Dr Strange has already done in his movies and made Dr. Fate do it. This movie unironically made me appreciate Marvels newer movies (as crappy as they maybe) because Black Adam felt like a "Phase 1 Marvel movie" and I think audiences are well past that which is why its just barely going to break even.

you almost made me rage until i kept reading

I'm not into Marvel movies but Hollywood is not necessarily a bad thing

I mean it's entertainment, you choose to consume it, if it's crap just don't watch it

Read the sequel to Watchmen and it has Black Adam, he turns Iraq into a utopian country

That's basically all I know, not gonna watch this but it doesn't look that bad honestly

Going to watch that Bollywood joint RRR someone recommended here earlier

Will post a review

yes its on my watch list

[niospecv]

I watched it online. It's okay but for D.C. It's huge. And they're bringing Henry Cavil back as Superman.

The rock has a wide waist so he looks too damn blocky. Henry Cavil looks much better in his suit.

who are you talking to? Absolutely zero to do with anything I posted

is it SO hard to just hold your hands up and say you were wrong?

[whogotmuhbeers]

I don't like Rock or give a fuk about this movie, but I know for a fact this movie is going to do well. Dwayne Johnson becoming President is part of the world script. He's going to get even bigger

If that’s true then the foretold story of idiocracy would’ve came true and Mike judge was right all along.

[KingBert]

It probably will bomb. A lot of Rock's movies have been total flops.


People once thought he could be the successor to Arnold, but the reality is that he doesn't have memorable movies like Arnold.

Arnoldo is the successor to Arnold.

Everyone has known this since the baptism scene.

[Evolutionary1]

Checked the most popular theater near me that is always sold out weeks in advanced for any popular release especially anticipated superhero movies, this is for Black Adam tomorrow's midnight release on their only imax screen:

And they're releasing MOS 2 over a decade later...

what a joke of an organization

The idea missed by you is that the top tier stars(Rock) get a flat number then extras.
The Rock is top tier so he gets that 22.5 million and i personally, have never see that number go in the opposite direction.
Tom Cruise had bad movies, but has his price gone down over time?

[Belome]

That's half of what mediocre marvel movies pull.

Your also trying to compare Thor to a character most movie goers don’t even know exists.

With Gunn now at the helm of DCEU and marvels recent craptastic adventures like she-Hulk and a few other very boring movies…

I see a change coming.

[SuperHercules]

N word Adam seems to be failing

his pay, as with any actor, depends on how well his last film(s) did, and therefore how bankable they are. Its that simple. Are you REALLY saying if he makes a flop or two, or several, his next pay cheque ISNT affected?

dont be an imbecile

[DeAndreHopkins]

This movie probly won't clear 500 million worldwide. Rocko must be salty as hell bros.
