Box office projections for BlackPantherWakandaForever are in. Here's what the highly anticipated Marvel sequel is expected to bring in during its opening weekend:
There's good news for the box office on the horizon as the first forecast for Disney and Marvel Studios' Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is in. Ryan Coogler's feverishly-awaited follow-up to 2018's Black Panther looks set to net a minimum of $175 million over its opening weekend in North America, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That would be good enough for the second-best opening of 2022 after Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness opened to $187.4 million.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The worldwide box office is still finding its feet in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, although superhero movies have generally done well since theaters reopened. Comparisons will most likely be made with Spider-Man: No Way Home — a joint Sony/Disney production — which opened to $260.1 million in December 2021, a number that was only beaten by Disney and Marvel's own Avengers: Endgame .
The year's highest-grossing films are currently Top Gun: Maverick, which has given Tom Cruise the biggest film of his career to date, and Jurassic Park Dominion . Maverick, still playing in some theaters, has proved a stunning success that was surely unexpected to this degree. With a domestic gross of over $715 million — good enough for the fifth-highest-grossing domestic film in history — it is nearing $1.5 billion.
The original release date of May 6, 2022, was moved to July 8, 2022, following Boseman's death. The release date once again shifted after filming was stopped, following an accident that saw star Letitia Wright suffer a concussion and fractured shoulder. Filming was further delayed due to an outbreak of COVID-19 within the cast and crew in January, before finally wrapping on March 24, 2022.
