‘Black Adam’ Could Lose $50–$100M

You may think a lot of people went to theaters to see Black Adam, but if you look at the numbers, the film wasn’t a success.

The way things are looking, the film will be in the red when it leaves theaters.

According to the numbers, the film’s production budget was $195 million, and the film grossed $387 million. Now that may sound good, but the theaters haven’t gotten its cut which will be about half of the gross. Then factor in advertising which was around $100 million, and that spells a loss.

A loss of from $50 to $100 million dollars. While some of that could be made up with streaming and DVD sales, it won’t be enough to break even.
