and 4-day could beat TA 4-day (226 odd)

Black Panther could have a bigger Saturday than The Force Awakens.

 

Is this real life?

‘Black Panther’ Rips Apart Box Office Records: 3-Day Opening Rises To $194M+; 4-Day At $223M+

Holy Crap, with 66.8M 200M is a done deal. It's going to have spillover from Saturday so no chance it's dropping 20% much less 23%+ Deadline has.

75.8

66.8 [Rth's is ~66. Using Deadline's because it makes one feel warm and fuzzy]

57.4 (-14%)

= 200.0

31.5 (-45%)

= 231.5 (2.3x off 4-day takes it into RO, TDK territory)

We are all witnessing history here.

I'm so proud to be here with you all to see this.

Folks 200M OW is happening, no way Disney will let BP end up around 198M!!!!!! Since Monday is a holiday they can easily shift million or 2 into Sunday.

 

Also, amazingly it has beaten Deadpool OW in 2 freaking days.

#OscarSoWhite: I think this will really make an impact.

 

Black Panther: Hold my beer...

[Brainbug]

Thats just amazing.

[grey ghost]

At this point Squirrel Girl over 350 m DOM wouldn't surprise me.

 

And Marvel Studios just got back Fantastic Four and X-men. 

 

The money they make from those two will probably pay for the Fox deal before phase 5.

10 years ago the big tentpole February release was Doug Liman's Jumper with Hayden Christensen.

Now, in the same month, we're about to witness a $190-200 million opening weekend for a Black Panther movie.

How far we've come...

Squirrel Girl 350 you say? What then for AM&tW?       

 

Seriously though, MCU should have incredible good will domestically and overseas going into July. There’s some chance it could improve on Ant-Man more than expected.

Disney has never cared about that kind of stuff.  I don't think they will this time either.

If Disney didn't fudge TFA's OW to 250 they won't fudge BP to 200

They also didn't bother to fudge the less than $800,000 TFA needed for a $150 million second weekend.

[XO21]

Adjusting for inflation it’ll end higher than Harry Potter DH2 opening weekend and in the same range of Spidey 3, The Dark Knight

I think the only blockbuster black director before 2017 was Tim Story for the Fantastic Four.

 

In the last 10 months we had two black directors make movies that will gross over 1 billion...

 

Gary and Coogler.

 

Not to mention Jordan Peele breaking indie records with Get Out.

If BP's Sunday is $67M or more, they won't need to.
