Black Adam, a flagship superhero movie, has entered into one of the biggest entertainment platforms, HBO max.
The movie has already been released in October 2022. Woefully, during that time, Dwayne Johnson, popularly known as “The Rock”, has failed to create the magic in the minds of the viewers.

The DCU gave life to many new fresh characters like Henry Cavill’s return as Superman, a team up Justice Society of America, and antihero special. Yet, the movie still failed to live up to the expectations of fans and Warner Bros.

Since Black Adam is in the grappling stage to get some additional money on the film, anticipating another sequel seems questionable.

In Black Adam, Dwayne is seen as an anti-superhero on a hunt for retribution after being set free from the tomb.

Fans should have been seeing Dwayne in Shazam, as an anti-superhero, however, the so-called “The Rock” voted to campaign for Black Adam.

This film is now streaming on HBO Max platform along with other popular DC films, namely, The Batman, Aquaman, and Zack Snyder's Justice League.
The film could only earn $400 million as opposed to $195 million budget expenditure. Actor Dwayne Johnson claimed that this film could possibly lose somewhere in the range of $50 million and $100 million.

A report said that: "Despite the hype surrounding the movie of launching a new corner of DC, a lot of it led by star Dwayne Johnson, the movie has only grossed $385 million worldwide”.

They also added, “insiders at the studio say the movie, which cost more than $190 million to produce, will be lucky to break even, even considering ancillary revenue. Even if the movie does eke out a minimal profit, any follow-up's inherent rising costs dim the prospect of a sequel."

Black Adam is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. Other stars seen in the film include Sarah Shahi, Aldis Hodge and Pierce Brosnan.

As the film was released during the holiday season, Warner Bros and DCU team, expect that it could bring some extra revenue to the table.
