'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' crosses $401 million at the North American box office.
Ryan Coogler's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has carried Chadwick Boseman's legacy to new heights with yet another box office-topping weekend. The film opened back in November and was instantaneously hailed for proudly spotlighting strong Black women whilst interweaving a story that honored late actor Boseman and his titular hero without taking away from a clear passing of the torch onto new panther Shuri .
In what has been a very slow start to the domestic weekend box office, current predicted ticket sales expect a taking of $38.5 million across all releases from Friday to Sunday, according to Variety. A significant chunk of these are thanks to the Marvel epic which has pulled in $2.8 million from 3,725 showings on Friday. This figure is expected to jump to around $11 million over the remainder of the weekend.
Despite carrying the weight of Boseman's original success, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has flourished over the last month making it successful in both honoring Boseman and maintaining an authentic progression for Wakanda. This evidently resonated with audiences around the world as the film surpassed $733 million at the prestigious global box office last week, with less than a month in theaters under its belt.
It's likely this week's Friday box office will be the quietest it is going to get for a little while with James Cameron's Avatar sequel Avatar: The Way of Water preparing to blow its competitors out of the water following a hefty 13-year gap between the films. The special effects extravaganza made history for its groundbreaking animation and breathtaking visuals back in 2009 which raises the stakes that little bit higher for the second installment.
