Sluggish Box Office for ‘Black Adam’ as Theaters Wait ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’

A new anime film, “One Piece Film: Red”, came in second place. It earned $9.475million from 2,367 North American cinemas. Crunchyroll, a specialty animation label, is pleased with this modest win. It follows recent releases such as “Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero”, which earned $38 million in domestic sales, and “Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie,” which earned $34 million domestically. These films don’t have to break any box office records because they are made with a small marketing and production budget.

David A. says that Crunchyroll, a Sony-owned company, has created a popular market for Japanese anime. Gross is the founder of Franchise Entertainment Research, a movie consulting company. “It’s impressive.”

“Ticket to Paradise”, a romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts, George Clooney and George Clooney, landed on the No. 3. spot with $8.5million from 4,066 venues. It dropped just 14% in its first weekend. The film has earned $46.7 million in North America, and it looks to continue its crowd-pleasing run throughout the remainder of the fall. Despite the difficulties facing rom-coms at the box office, “Ticket To Paradise” has managed to surpass expectations with $90.4 million at the international box office and $137.9 million worldwide. Universal spent $60 million to make the movie.

The film will soon surpass 2019’s Shazam!” ($366 million worldwide).

The No. 4 spot was taken by Paramount’s surprise hit “Smile” which earned $4 million from 3,046 cinemas, bringing its domestic total to $99 million. Paramount’s surprise hit, “Smile,” landed at the No. 4 spot. It generated $4 million from 3,046 theaters, taking its domestic total to $99 million. The psychological horror film “Smile” is nearing the $100 million mark in North America. It has also crossed $200 million worldwide, a remarkable feat for a film that cost $17 million.

The top five were rounded out by Lionsgate’s supernatural thriller, “Prey for the Devil”, which earned $3.87 million at 2,980 locations. This is a 48% decrease from its debut. The film’s low-budget budget has brought in a disappointing $13.64 million through Sunday.

The buzzy slasher movie “Terrifier 2” landed in 10th with $1.2million from 1,245 cinemas. Bloody Disgusting produced the independent movie and Iconic Releasing distributed it. It has already made $9.8 million from its $250,000 budget.

No. 7: Director Martin McDonough’s “The Banshees of Inisherin,” an Irish-set movie starring Colin Farrell & Brendan Gleeson, landed at No. It has earned $3 million so far, as the Searchlight movie expands slowly.

With $1.875 Million from 2,136 screens, “Till”, eighth place, remained steady at $1.875 Million. After four weeks, the emotional biopic, which stars Danielle Deadwyler playing Emmett Till’s mother, has earned $6.5 million. This is a good result for a drama that targets adult audiences.

Another specialty title, James Grey’s semi-autobiographical “Armageddon Time,” struggled to break out as it expanded to 1,006 venues. Focus Features’ film starring Anne Hathaway & Jeremy Strong brought in $810,000, which equates to a bleak $802 per site. “Armageddon Time,” has so far generated $902,000.

According to Comscore, the box office took in $59.4 million for the weekend. Despite the unexpected success of “Smile” as well as the better-than-expected turnouts at “Ticket to Paradise” and “Black Adam,” movie theatre owners will need a blockbuster or two to get them through winter. The sequel to the multi-billion-dollar hit, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” should deliver. Box office experts predict an opening weekend of between $175 million to $200 million.

Franchise Entertainment Research’s Gross said that “business returns in world-class form next weekend with the opening “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” “
