'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' opens with $84 million at the Friday box office.
Disney’s massively-anticipated superhero sequel Black Panther: Wakanda Forever debuted at the top of the box office, with $84 million on Friday . That’s the tenth-biggest opening day ever, and the second-biggest of 2022, behind fellow Marvel sequel Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . The film is on course to hit at least $175 million in its first weekend, which will put it behind the first film’s $202 million three-day opening back in 2018.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Opening day audiences gave Wakanda Forever a strong A CinemaScore . Production of the film, which explores themes of grief and family in the wake of King T’Challa’s death, was greatly impacted by the tragic passing of star Chadwick Boseman. He died of cancer in 2020, after privately battling the illness for four years, and the film is very much designed as a tribute to both Boseman and T'Challa.
After topping the box office for three weekends in a row, rival DC’s Black Adam slipped to the number two spot, with $2.7 million on Friday. The film, starring Dwayne Johnson in a role that he has coveted for over a decade, is estimated to make $10 million in its fourth weekend, taking its running domestic total to $152 million. Black Adam cost a massive $195 million to produce, and is still a long way away from being counted as an outright hit.
