Dwayne Johnson"s DC Movie With 38% On Rotten Tomatoes Hits Netflix Top 10

Summary

• Netflix continues to prove success for movies with middling reviews, like Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam, which earned a low Rotten Tomatoes rating.
• Despite Black Adam's financial and critical failure, it still drew crowds on Netflix, hitting the Top 10 most viewed movies this week.
• Black Adam's release amid the DCEU's decline contributed to its lackluster performance, marking a downward turn for the franchise.

Netflix has proved once again that critically middling movies can find success on its platform, as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's DC movie Black Adam hits the platform's Top 10, despite only scoring 38% on Rotten Tomatoes. The critical and commercial legacy of DCEU movies is a mixed bag, with the DCU aiming to improve on this when it finally launches. Yet despite having plenty of poorly performing movies in its repertoire, it seems that the DCEU can still draw in the crowds when it is part of a popular subscription service.
Such is the case with Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam, which is currently sitting comfortably at #10 on Netflix's Global Top Ten charts with 2.7 million views in the past week. Interestingly, 2019's Hellboy, which scored less than half of Black Adam's score on Rotten Tomatoes with 17%, sits at number 6 on the chart with 3.7 million views. This tracks with common sense, as Hellboy performed significantly worse than Black Adam at the worldwide box office, meaning more people have yet to see it. Yet this also helps to explain why Black Adam made the Top 10.
