Netflix Officially Says Goodbye to Pierce Brosnan’s $200M Sci-Fi Fantasy Flop
Netflix will remove Black Adam from its UK catalogue on 31 October, giving subscribers until then to watch the 2022 superhero film. Pierce Brosnan plays Doctor Fate, a role that drew praise from fans who have hoped to see him return in a future DC project.
Warner Bros. and DC reportedly spent about $200 million making the film, which earned $393 million worldwide. That total kept it from being an outright box-office failure, but fell short of a clear commercial success; the article also notes the film is available on HBO Max.
