Welcome to Marvelous Disney, the podcast that discusses the most recent doings at one of

the more dynamic divisions of the Walt Disney Company, which is of course Marvel Entertainment.

This is Entertainment writer Jim Hill and my co-host, the amazing Aaron Adams and I,

are recording this week's episode on Wednesday, December 7th, 2022, and I know we missed a week

in its domestic run 27 days, the original Black Panther had sold 574 million worth of tickets

in North America, so basically a third more business domestically. Now I bring that up because

did you see the Black Adam story that broke earlier this week about how that Dwayne Johnson film

right now is sitting just shy of 400 million worldwide. And oh, that seems low.

Well, is that low? It seems low. It feels low. It is a little low. But at the same time,

we're still dealing with the after effect of what's happening to the exhibition world again,
