BLACK PANTHER WEEKEND THREAD | Current Estimates - 202.4M 3-day / 242.6M 4-day | Record 40.167 Monday; more than TFA!

[Lordmandeep]

The Sunday Record is maybe in danger today.

 

It will fall today but unsure if it can fall by 10% .

It seems most colleges have Spring break for a week sometime between now and late March. Obviously not equivalent to summer or winter, but may be somewhat useful

[Asyulus]

3.5x DOM

 

0.45A WW is likely.

How the Hell did Samson do so poorly? I was certain it would be number 1.

Black Panther #2 All-time Domestic (unadjusted)

 

Sorry @IronJimbo it seems beloved Avatar is going to trickle to 3rd domestically, it had to happen sometime. 

 

Some of the best multipliers from 4-day Presidents weekend are 3.2-3.4x, with a $230m 4-day at the high end seeming likely, that gives $736-784m, So there's a chance this surpasses Avatar. Given it's WOM is phenomenal, I seriously wouldn't discredit this completely just yet.

 

You really should stop smoking that Wakanda Wacky Weed...this has zero chance of happening.

God is on vacation. Satan took over while hes away.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Absolute insanity. These are the best types of weekends, when a movie just keeps rising and rising. Won't say this is completely out of nowhere, it's been omnipresent the past month or so in pop culture, but the sheer size of this OW is mind boggling. The fact that BP is a 4-quad smash that destroys a lot of stupid Hollywood conventional wisdom makes it all the better.

Truly a historic weekend, folks.

Lupita Nyong'o is on a serious box-office winning streak at the moment. Since she won her Oscar in 2014 she's featured in 5 films; 4 of these had opening weekends above $100 million, 3 of which were different IP's (The Jungle Book, Star Wars and Black Panther).

Remember when a good portion of the Internet thought we would never see or hear from her again after she won her Oscar?

[YM!]

It makes me happy that Panther is an absolute breakout. Never would I ever think a black superhero movie would open this big. It is a dream come true for me and hopefully more diversity happens in Hollywood.

Cyborg doesn't need his own movie. Put him in Teen Titans where he belongs. Add Robin/Nightwing and co and bam. They can easily integrate into the current DCEU and if done right, could be another GOTG/SS type.

 

 

I have no problems with a Cyborg movie. He has a compelling history. A Cyborg movie is way better than a Nightwing, Slade Wilson, Lobo etcetera movie.
