After using these powers for vengeance, he is imprisoned for nearly 5,000 years.

Some reviewers felt it lacked originality and depth, despite its action sequences and star power . Rotten Tomatoes: 39% critic score; 87% audience score Box Office: Grossed approximately $393 million worldwide against a budget of $190–$260 million🎵 Soundtrack Highlights Score: Composed by Lorne Balfe Featured Songs: "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" – The Smashing Pumpkins "Paint It Black" – The Rolling Stones "Power" – Kanye West featuring Dwele "Exile" – Eric Zayne (featured in end credits)💰 Box Office Performance Black Adam (2022), starring Dwayne Johnson, achieved a global box office gross of approximately $393.3 million. This total comprises $168.2 million from domestic (U.S. and Canada) markets and $225.1 million from international territories . Despite its strong opening weekend, the film faced challenges in sustaining momentum. It experienced a significant 59% drop in its second week and a 33% decline in the third week, with earnings of $27.5 million and $18.3 million, respectively. Financial analyses suggest that Black Adam may not have reached its break-even point. With an estimated production budget of $195–200 million and an additional $80–100 million spent on marketing, the film's total cost was approximately $450 million. Considering that theaters typically retain about half of the box office revenue, the film would have needed to gross around $600 million to achieve profitability. Therefore, it is projected to incur a loss of $50–100 million .🌍 Global Availability Black Adam is available for digital purchase or rental in several countries, including: United States: Available on platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. United Kingdom: Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Canada: Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Australia: Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.Availability may vary by region, so it's recommended to check local streaming platforms for the most accurate information.🌟 Conclusion Black Adam is a bold entry in the DC Extended Universe, aiming to introduce a darker, more morally complex antihero with immense power. With Dwayne Johnson's charismatic lead performance, intense action sequences, and the introduction of the Justice Society of America, the film expands the DC mythos beyond its usual heroes. While visually spectacular and appealing to action fans, it received mixed critical reviews for its predictable plot and heavy CGI. However, audiences generally responded more positively, especially fans of superhero blockbusters and The Rock's portrayal. In essence, Black Adam serves as both a character origin story and a setup for future conflicts in the DCEU, though its box office performance and critical reception left the future of the franchise uncertain.
