Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam Failed Miserably
It is undeniable that superhero movies are lately failing to impress the audience with their obvious exhibit. Suffering majorly at the box office, DC and Marvel Studios are both facing crisis, irrespective of their desperate attempts. Prior to the release of DC’s The Flash a handful of superhero movies from the infamous Studios failed to make an impression at the box office.
Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam is the most recent example of DC’s major failure prior to its ultimatum The Flash. Although Johnson praised his fans and included their advice in his movie, Black Adam failed to make a striking collection and instead opened at the domestic box office with $67M. Despite high hopes, the actor’s movie could only achieve a 38% RT rating, and earn $393M over its $260M budget.
Although Dwayne Johnson‘s Black Adam got “the highest audience score for a DC theatrical film” since Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, it was still trolled by many, on social media. Despite engaging in a creative process, by keeping the viewers in mind and understanding what they might like to see, Johnson failed to impress a major audience base. Thus, the movie suffered a huge loss at the box office and witnessed massive trolling.
Fans Support Black Adam Despite Trolling
In the wake of DC’s unsuccessful dive into the multiverse, with Ezra Miller‘s The Flash, fans have started looking for the good in their previous productions. Considering Miller’s recent disaster as a milestone for DC’s further failures, fans have gathered on Twitter to praise Dwayne Johnson’s, Black Adam.
Appreciating the origin story of a new character introduced in the DCEU, netizens tried giving the movie a bit more recognition than they did, previously. Reflecting upon the movie’s $393M box office collection, Twitterattis labels Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam a sleeper hit, that people trolled unnecessarily.
#BlackAdam made this without China. Imagine what it would have made with a Chinese release. It actually was more successful than people realise. At least the Rock was going to listen to the fans. pic.twitter.com/uHE7jn3WWA

I thought people had forgotten Black Adam, and they would never talk about Black Adam again, But taking Black Adam’s name back on Twitter proves that Black Adam was not just a movie but this was justice for Mature DCEU fans. AGREE?💥💥💥

Out of the three movies I’d definitely watch Black Adam again over Shazam and flash. Also it’s post credit scene had way more hype
