As per Deadline, the reports of the failure of 'Black Adam' are false and the film will also earn moolah from the merchandise. Johnson concurred, sharing the report on Twitter and writing, "Waited to confirm with financiers before I shared this excellent #BlackAdam news - our film will PROFIT between $52M-$72M. Fact. At almost $400M worldwide we are building our new franchise step by step (first Captain America did $370M) for the DC future."</p>

'Black Adam' a box office success, claims new report. Dwayne Johnson says 'excellent news'

<p>While Dwayne Johnson may have made a grant entry to superhero movies by headlining <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-black-adam-post-credit-scene-explained-heres-what-it-means-for-dceus-future-527396">DC's 'Black Adam'</a></strong>, it appears Warner Bros, the studio behind the project, is going to lose up to $100 million. The news was reported by Variety. As per Box Office Mojo, the film has grossed $384.6 million on a reported budget of $195 million. However, that budget does not include marketing and production costs which are around $80 and $100 million. Add to that the cut of theatres, and the film is apparently going to lose a big amount of money to WB. Johnson did change the hierarchy of power in DC Universe, but he clearly could not use his immense star power to make the film a success.</p>

Dwayne Johnson's 'Black Adam' a box office failure, to lose up to $100 million

<p>Dwayne Johnson-led DC movie<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/black-adam-everything-to-know-about-dwayne-johnsons-dc-movie-in-pics-525278"> 'Black Adam'</a></strong> may not have pleased critics but is going from strength to strength at the box office. It overcame newer releases to top the North American box office in its second week as well and is tracking for a $25 million-plus total. The Jaume Collet-Serra directorial has grossed $166.8 million at the worldwide box office so far. The film has a budget in the range of $195–200 million, so it needs very long legs to earn profit.</p>

<p>Wion's review of the film read, "'Black Adam' is certainly worth watching once on the big screen. The action alone would be enough to satisfy most fans of comic-book movies.
