The Rock accused of leaking fake box office numbers for his latest movie - Reports
Former WWE Champion and Hollywood megastar The Rock was recently accused of leaking fake box office statistics for his movie Black Adam.
Black Adam recently had a worldwide theatrical release in October. The movie was positively received by the DC fanbase, with many fans believing it was one of the best DC movies released in recent times.
A few weeks ago, Rock confirmed the success of Black Adam by sharing on Twitter that the movie saw profits ranging between $52-$72M. The former WWE Champion also claimed that the movie boasted an impressive $400M worldwide box office collection.
The Great One also shared an article from the Deadline while talking about the numbers.
“Waited to confirm with financiers before I shared this excellent #BlackAdam news – our film will PROFIT between $52M-$72M. Fact. At almost $400M worldwide we are building our new franchise step by step [first Captain America did $370M] for the DC future,” tweeted The Rock.

However, according to Matt Belloni, who wrote in a Puck newsletter (via Ringside News), "several Warner executives" believe that The Brahma Bull leaked the story to Deadline in the first place. He also wrote that he believes those numbers are false assumptions.
Belloni even went as far as to call it one of the "silliest trade stories of all time" while also noting that he doubts Black Adam will ever hit the numbers that the former WWE Champion claims.
