” will prove to be a box office smash when it debuts in 4,300 North American theaters on Friday. But just how many tickets will the comic book sequel sell in its opening weekend?“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” is expected to dominate with at least $175 million in its first three days of release. But given the hype around Disney’s grand return to the vibrant African nation, there’s optimism that initial returns could reach as much as $185 million to $200 million over the weekend.
Internationally, “Black Panther 2” is expected to add another $155 million to $195 million as the film touches down everywhere except China and Russia. Based on projections, the tentpole looks to surpass $350 million globally by Sunday.
