Black Panther: Wakanda Forever had a $180 million opening weekend domestically, and has hauled in $330 million globally so far. That’s in contrast to Black Adam, which is considered a decent hit for DC,
DC certainly has a long road ahead of it under David Zaslav, James Gunn and Peter Safran, as they attempt to chart a course into the future for their roster of heroes and villains. Case in point, while the MCU has generally outperformed the DCEU at the box office, both in terms of pure volume of releases and overall totals, we have a prime example of just how wide the gap can be.domestically, and has hauled in $330 million globally so far.
That’s in contrast to Black Adam, which is considered a decent hit for DC, which despite a release back on October 21, has $151 million, well under one weekend of Wakanda Forever, and $352 million globally, just over that one weekend. This is the kind of gap that DC is trying to make up, and it’s an interesting contrast additionally because Black Adam had arguably the biggest action movie star in the world right now leading it, The Rock, while Wakanda Forever is an ensemble cast led mainly by Letitia Wright in the wake of Chadwick Boseman’s passing. In both cases, audience scores have been higher that critic scores, dramatically so in Black Adam’s case, but the gap is still wide.
Naturally, Wakanda Forever has the built-in advantage of being a sequel to a massively successful MCU original in the form of the first Black Panther, but that’s kind of the point. The Rock has made a big point about Black Adam’s arrival as the start of a new era for DC, with a lot riding on Henry Cavill returning to star as Superman in upcoming movies again. But it’s not quite clear how the James Gunn vision for DC will transform it.
