the box office Black Adam Y Black Panther: Wakanda Forever It has given people something to talk about in networks, since countless Internet users already compare the numbers that both films have made during their respective premieres in movie theaters. However, the star of one of these films came out in defense of both projects, clarifying that the competition was not fair.
This is Dwayne Johnson, who commented on a tweet made by the account of IGN. There, the comics and video game news portal included a headline mentioning that the Marvel Studios movie was already the most profitable superhero project in the fall of 2022, while the figures for the DC movie, released one month before, it has not raised as much, despite having the advantage.
“Wakanda Forever has earned more than $400 million at the worldwide box office, making it the highest-grossing superhero movie to open this fall. Y Black Adamwhich was released in October, has earned $353 million at the worldwide box office.

Soon after, “La Roca” responded in the same thread, emphasizing that the franchise of Black Panther is already established and, on the other hand, that of Black Adam is being born, since it is based on characters that most audiences do not yet know.

In addition, he pointed out to IGN that, in the movie business, everyone involved in the making of a movie—from the cast and crew to the media that promotes it—is in the same boat, because it’s not necessary to make comparisons. This is what he had to say, starting with a little sarcastic comment:
“What a neutral post. I love to compete, but, IGN, you are in business with us. No competition with established global brand Black Panther compared to Black Adam and the Justice Society of America that no one had heard of a year ago. There’s no need to fight, we’re new babies and we’ve got to grow”.
😂 What a neutral post.
I love competing, but @IGN you guys are in the biz with us there’s no competition with the established global brand of Black Panther compared to Black Adam & JSA who a year ago no one even heard of. No need to knock us, we’re new babies and have to grow😊—Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) November 20, 2022
The truth is that Johnson has always been respectful of the House of Ideas, but he has a point: Black Adam It is a film that did not have the media power of the MCU, in addition to the fact that it took many years to rise and did not have the best reviews. Nonetheless, it drew enough attendees to the halls. Nobody said this was a war.
What do you think of the box office comments? Black Adam Y Black Panther: Wakanda Forever? Which of the two did you like more?
Jose Roberto Landaverde Movie buff and music lover. I am fascinated by writing, listening, reading and commenting on everything related to the seventh art. I’m a fan of Rocky and Back to the Future and obviously one day I’ll climb the “Philly Steps” and drive a DeLorean. Faithful believer that cinema is the best teleportation machine, and also that on the big screen we can all see ourselves represented. I constantly, like Scott Pilgrim, ask myself: “Does bread make you fat?”
