BLACK ADAM solidifies Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson‘s standing as a huge megastar on the big screen, debuting at #1 this weekend across North American theatres with $60 million from 4,402 theatres for Warner Bros. While Critics weren’t in love with this latest DC Comics adventure, giving it a 41% on the Tomatometer, this did not deter Moviegoers from helping launch what looks to be the beginning of a new Franchise.
Second spot goes to TICKET TO PARADISE, debuting with $16 million for Universal Pictures, from 3,543 theatres. Critics gave this Rom-Com headlined by A-List Co-Stars George Clooney and Julia Roberts, a mixed 55% on the Tomatometer.
Third is SMILE, still going strong with $8.5 million from 3,296 theatres for Paramount Pictures, now at a tally of $84.5 million over four weeks. Very impressive considering this was made for only $17 million.
In fourth we have HALLOWEEN ENDS with $8 million from 3,901 theatres. Over two weekends it has grossed $54.1 million for Universal Pictures.
LYLE, LYLE CROCODILE rounds this all out with $4.4 million for Sony Pictures, a total $28.9 million over three weekends.
