Quote

As of right now, sources tell us that the Ryan Coogler-directed movie about Marvel’s Black superhero T’Challa is on a course to make $22M-$24M tonight. This would rank as the third best Thursday preview night for a Marvel title after Avengers: Age of Ultron ($27.6M) and Captain America: Civil War ($25M). On the high-end it’s nearly double the $12.7M what Deadpool posted prior to its record February four-day weekend of $152.1M. These early estimates for Black Panther are exclusively from Deadline, so if you see them reported by a rival trade, they got them from us.

 

 

Big opening post about black panther

*insert joke about @WrathOfHan here*

$24M

$65.5M ($89.5M OD)

$80.4M

$63.7M

 

$233.6M OW

 

This isn't even unrealistic btw.  It's following Deadpool's drops with The Great Wall's Sunday drop since Deadpool's Sunday was inflated with Valentine's Day

Holy fucking shit. Who thought a supporting hero from CW would blow up like this??

 

Iron man who? Thor who? Captain America who? Spider-Man who? Doctor Strange who?

That Sunday drop might be a bit much considering how much spillover there will be. TFA isn't off the table tbh

[MrGamer]

Alright, I'll be the one to say it. I don't like Samson's chances this weekend. 

[Fancyarcher]

This is insane. Sky's the limit for Samson Black Panther. 230m+ will likely happen.

Ryan Coogler is a fucking god.  Holy shit.

[KJsooner]

Going to beat Justice League’s domestic take in 3 days. 

[DAR]

Listen I know it’s very early and there’s still a long way to go.  But with that number 500 million isn’t yet on the table but maybe it’s on a cart being wheeled into the room

[Lordmandeep]

3 movies  (TA, JW and TFA) sort of peaked around 69-70 million Saturday with similar size or bigger opening days and you are saying it will do a Saturday of 80 million? 

[aabattery]

[DAJK]

I'll do something comps using the middle of the range (23) for 3-day

 

Avengers - 255M

Civil War - 165M

Ragnarok - 194.6M

Deadpool - 239M

Thr Hunger Games - 177.6M

Catching Fire - 145M

Rogue One - 123M

Guardians 2 - 198.2M

It - 209M

[a2k]

8-9x the previews give a 176-207 ow (3-day).

Poor Slambros. I feel bad I really do. If this had been an obnoxious user I would have never let it go. But I like the guy and think he's got a genuine hear and interest in box office.

[DAJK]

How insane would it be that the movie that could finally beat the Avengers opening for Marvel isn't another avengers movie, but a Black Panther movie???

 

To think, it's totally possible that Marvel breaks its own record twice this year

Hey don’t feel bad Samson should come within 230 million of BP

I think it's time to start the Slambros Funniest User BOFFY campaign. Least we can do for the kid at this point.
