Black Adam Leads Halloween Weekend With $27.7 Million at the Box Office

DC and Warner Bros.’ Black Adam topped the Halloween weekend box office, although it ended up getting more then expected considering at had little competition. Black Adam earned $27.7 million from 4.402 theatres in its second outing. Leading to a drop of 59 percent, one of the largest declines for a film that stars Dwayne Johnson in a lead role. However, the film raced past $100 million at the domestic box office on Saturday and is projected to finish Sunday with a domestic gross of $111.1 million.

Johnson’s star power overseas helped to keep Black Adam to declining only 45 percent at the International box office to $39 million for a foreign tally of $139 million and $250 million globally. When it comes to superhero films, its common to see a studio title fall off 60 percent or more domestically if opening above $100 million.
