How Black Adam Compares to Marvel Releases
Comparisons with Marvel are inevitable.
Take Thor: Love and Thunder:
- Opening Weekend: $144 million
- Established character with multiple prior films
- Deep integration into the Marvel Cinematic Universe
Now compare that to Black Adam:
- Brand-new cinematic character
- No prior solo films
- Limited mainstream recognition
What this really means is that Black Adam wasn’t playing on a level field. It had to build interest from scratch—something Marvel rarely has to do anymore.
