'Black Adam' is Dwayne Johnson's biggest domestic box-office debut as a leading man

Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Films' "Black Adam" rocked the domestic box office this weekend with $67 million in ticket sales, according to estimates from measurement firm Comscore, marking Dwayne Johnson's biggest North American debut as a leading man.

Opening in second place was Universal Pictures' "Ticket to Paradise," which exceeded expectations slightly by grossing $16.3 million in the U.S. and Canada — a solid start for a romantic comedy released in October.

Still going strong and rounding out the top three was Paramount Pictures' "Smile," which scared up $8.4 million in its fourth weekend for a North American cumulative of $84.3 million.
