And now we also have box office estimates for the film in its opening weekend, and they look as buff as Johnson himself. But given Dwayne Johnson’s relentless marketing tactics and Henry Cavill’s conformation of a Superman cameo, the movie might not break the career records of either of the superstars’ previous projects.
The opening weekend box office is honestly strong!
According to THR, Dwayne Johnson black adam is currently heading for a $70-75 million domestic opening weekend. That would put the movie slightly behind what Venom did in October 2018. This film far exceeded expectations on its way to an $80 million opening.

What do these numbers say?
Honestly, those numbers should be considered pretty good because Venom was a pre-pandemic release that has a huge impact on the situation of cinema box office numbers. While many movies have still succeeded in the post-pandemic era, it’s still a valiant feat, as movies that have been blockbusters are only a fraction of the lot. OTT platforms have become the norm for the general public waiting for the movie to be listed on one of them.
Johnson and Cavill are both famous faces in the industry with numerous blockbuster accolades to their credit. Henry Cavill’s most successful opening weekend came with the release of Steel man with a whopping $116 million at the box office.
Dwayne Johnson, however, has a head start. The Rock’s most successful opening weekend at the box office was when it released Furious 7 with a staggering $245 million. While we can largely credit the late Paul Walker for this accolade, Dwayne Johnson still holds the title of highest-paid actor in the world twice in a row!
