We have confirmed and tracking service NRG is eyeing a $175M start for Disney/Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. That will make it the second best opening of 2022 after Disney/Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness which debuted to $187.4M. Last year’s Marvel sequel, Spider-Man: No Way Home, owns the biggest domestic opening of the pandemic at $260M, and second best ever in the history of box office.
The sequel to the $1.3 billion grossing Black Panther is a rest to the franchise following the death of that pic’s lead star Chadwick Boseman. Everyone coming out of San Diego Comic-Con after catching the trailer for the first time is wondering who’ll wear the suit as the new Black Panther.
The first movie opened over Presidents Day weekend to a 3 day of $202M, 4-day of $242.1M. Advance ticket sales have been hot, we’ve heard from exhibition sources, however, they’re not the best year to date.
Like all Marvel movies, Black Panther 2 is hot with all demos. The sequel is particularly over-indexing with Black moviegoers.
Finally, a tentpole to get exhibition and marketplace back on track. New Line’s Dwayne Johnson DC movie will hopefully open to $60M+ this weekend, a stepping stone toward Black Panther 2. Black Adam came on tracking at $70M and calmed to $60M+. The world premiere for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is next Wednesday in Hollywood, so we’ll have an idea of what word of mouth is coming out of that at that point in time.

There’s no line in ‘Wakanda Forever,’ the sequel to Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” (2018), as bruising and seething as “Bury me in the ocean with my ancestors that jumped from the ships because they knew death was better than bondage.” But emotionally, this somber ‘Black Panther’ sequel is just as visceral and lacerating and perhaps just as absolutist. And spiritually, there is great lineage to this bitter resignation about demise, pride, ancestries, the great depths below us, and the refusal to accept enslavement.

Elsa Keslassy International Correspondent Disney has confirmed that it will release “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” in theaters in France on Nov. 9 in spite of the country’s strict windowing regulations. The company previously decided to forgo the theatrical roll out of “Strange World” in France on Nov. 23 in favor of a launch on Disney+. The bold move was seen as an attempt to put pressure on upcoming negotiations to amend the windowing rules which are expected to kick off in January. Under the current guidelines, which were established by the French government just nine months ago, Disney’s pay-VOD window is set at four months, and subscription-based streaming window at 17 months after films debut in theaters. The only way to bypass those French rules entirely is to forgo a release in cinemas.
