Part 5/12:
Black Adam, despite its box office failure, amassed approximately 632 million minutes watched in its first three days on HBO Max—more than Superman’s 513 million minutes. Even Disney’s Elio, which had a much smaller box office run of around $150 million, edged out Superman, debunking the myth that streaming numbers directly correlate with box office success or the popularity of a film.
Furthermore, Superman did not crack Nielsen’s overall top 10 and ranked behind films like K-pop Demon Hunters, Ice Road Vengeance, and Elio. The implications are clear: interest in Superman on streaming is lukewarm at best, especially when contrasted with other content on the same platform.
