Remember when I wrote Can We Just Admit That Black Adam is a (Soft) Failure? Apparently I’m not the only person to think so because The Wrap has recently reached the same conclusion (you’d have to join WrapPRO to read the full article but the two paragraphs you can read gratis are enough) albeit 11 […]
I said that Black Adam would have a problem when Black Panther: Wakanda Forever premiered though people say a lot of things, it doesn’t make them true. Though the proof is in the pudding. Wakanda Forever has been out for two days – it premiered November 11 – and has pulled in $330 million. Now […]
It’s believed that Warner Bros/New Line Pictures’ Black Adam will cross the $300 million mark this weekend, which initially sounds like really good news. That is, till you take into account that the Dwayne Johnson-starrer is running out of steam, and so far hasn’t earned enough to break even (considering its production budget is somewhere […]
According to Comicbookmovie.com, Warner Bros/New Line’s Black Adam will soon cross the $100 million mark in the United States, bringing its box office worldwide to almost $167 million ($166,839,000). And that’s a lot of money, until you take into account two things. The first is that the movie had a 63% drop-off in its second […]
I’ve gotta admit that I didn’t see this coming. James Gunn and Peter Safran – Gunn handling the creative end, while Safran takes care of the business side of things – isn’t something that I expected to see. Now comes the question: Which James Gunn will DC Studios, formerly DC Films, get? Will it be […]
Warner Bros/New Line’s Black Adam dropped Friday in the United States, opening with a $26.8 million haul, not too shabby considering a projected $62.2 opening weekend. Now here’s the problem. Most superhero movies have a second week drop-off – let’s roll with that $62.2 million weekend opening estimate (at the end of the day actual […]
In case you’re wondering, David Zaslav is still looking for someone to act as the ‘Kevin Feige’ for DC Films and apparently it isn’t going to be Walter Hamada (and based on his tenure thus far that’ should be fairly obvious’s probably a wise decision). My question is why aren’t they looking for someone who’s […]
Last week the trailer dropped for Black Adam, the latest movie from DC Films and it’s amazing, though not for the reasons you might think. It manages to steal iconic moments from various Marvel movie trailers in such a way that’s so blatant that there’s something pretty remarkable – never mind shameless – about it. […]
As if we needed any more evidence that Warner Bros is mismanaging DC Films: A Doctor Strange movie has out-opened Batman, $185 million vs $135 million, after its three-day premiere (from Friday through Sunday). Doctor Strange, a character most people have never heard of prior to his 2016 movie, has out-opened literally one of the […]
When I saw The Matrix in 1999 my mind was blown because it managed to innovate visually (in terms of special effects) and intrigue in terms of story. People fighting and shooting each other in some combination of black leather/latex? Seen it before in Blade just a year earlier yet somehow The Matrix managed to […]
