Black Adam's box office collection likely to be lower than Marvel films

The early predictions suggest that Dwayne Johnson's "Black Adam" will be unable to match the collections of Marvel's superhero movies. In "Black Adam," Dwayne Johnson, popularly known as The Rock among his fans, played the role of a superhero for the DC Extended Universe. The film's collection will also be adversely impacted due to the declining footfall at cinema halls, considering that "Black Adam" is a pre-Diwali release.

According to Box Office India, "Black Adam" was released on Thursday during the pre-Diwali phase; hence, if its collection reaches the 6-7 crore mark on the first day, it can be considered a decent performance. Box Office India added that the film's opening was not a match to Marvel's flicks, but it was still one of the best openings for Hollywood post the Covid-19 pandemic.

Although comic book newbies are unfamiliar with "Black Adam," they can recognise his biggest rival, "Shazam!" However, there is a difference between these two characters. While Shazam calls upon the Greek gods for his powers, Black Adam summons the Egyptian gods.


The film "Black Adam" is the story of an anti-hero who is freed from his tomb after 5,000 years. Besides Black Adam, the superhero flick also introduced new characters, including Doctor Fate (played by Pierce Brosnan), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo), and Hawkman (Aldis Hodge).
