\tWe have confirmed that tracking service NRG is eyeing a $175 million start for Disney\/Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. <\/em>That total would give it the second-best opening of 2022 after Disney\/Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, <\/em>which debuted to $187.4M in May. Last year’s Marvel sequel Spider-Man: No Way Home <\/em>owns the biggest domestic opening of the pandemic era at $260M, and second-best in box office history.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe sequel to the $1.3 billion-grossing Black Panther <\/em>is a reset to the franchise following the August 2020 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.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe first movie opened over Presidents Day weekend to a three-day total of $202M, and a four-day of $242.1M<\/strong>. We’ve heard from exhibition sources that advance ticket sales for Wakanda Forever<\/em> have been hot, but they’re not the best year to date. <\/p>\n

\n

\tLike all Marvel movies, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever <\/em>is hot with all demos. The sequel is particularly over-indexing with Black moviegoers. <\/p>\n

\tFinally, it’s a tentpole to get exhibition and marketplace back on track. New Line’s Dwayne Johnson DC movie Black Man<\/em> looks to open with $60M+ this weekend, a stepping stone toward Wakanda Forever<\/em>. Black Adam came on tracking at $70M and calmed to $60M+.<\/p>\n

\n

\tThe world premiere for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever <\/em>is next Wednesday in Hollywood, so we’ll have an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat word-of-mouth is coming out of that at that point in time. <\/p>\n
