A new film sits atop the box-office weekend after "Black Adam" debuted with an impressive $50.7 million more than second-place finisher "Ticket to Paradise."

As a stand-alone super-hero story, "Black Adam," perhaps fares better than it does when compared to the far more entertaining and seemingly retconned "Shazam!"

Julia Roberts and George Clooney somehow manage to elevate "Ticket to Paradise" above just a mediocre offering to something more endearing and entertaining.
