Have they said what the budget is for BP?  I'm venturing the usual 200M+ for most blockbusters these days.

Variety said last week that it was $200m.

Black panther performing this well just makes me excited for how The Lion King is gonna perform. That could challenge the all time  OW record.

I praised Mendelson a few days ago for laying off the "superhero fatigue" line and now he goes and puts it right in the headline.

 

I see you, Scott.

F*ck it, let's go all the way and say all time OW record in admissions, beat that Star Wars 

 

EDIT: According to Mojo that's still just TFA, I don't want to believe that though, as Mojo is shit as calculating admissions.

Black Panther is also making a major push overseas, where it is likewise out-performing expectations (American films with a black cast are perceived to face challenges internationally). The movie is opening in virtually every major market timed to its U.S. launch — exceptions are Russia (Feb. 22), Japan (March 1) and China (March 9) — and has collected a mighty $81.5 million through Friday. The U.K., where Black Panther launched on Tuesday, leads so far with $14.4 million, followed by South Korea ($14.3 million), Australia ($4 million), Brazil ($3.8 million) and Taiwan ($3.5 million).

Fantastic for BP.

 

75.8M

63M

53.55M

192.35M

[Steele131]

Wow this is stunning. Should clear 500M and push 600M. This and Wonder Woman will combine to make around 1 Billion Domestic amazing. Hopefully studios take notice

[Kalo]

TFA definitely has the all-time OW record in admissions.  Weekends trended toward becoming more and more frontloaded from the 90s or so until now.  

 

Most OW record breakers end up getting the OW admission record too.

Wow, 500M OS is likely now. 1-1.1B WW, absolutely fantastic result.

[Taruseth]

$75.8M Means that the true Friday was above $50M (just barely). That's good.

That means BP still has the Chance of becoming just the sixth film to ever have three Days above $50M (the others are Age of Ultron, Avengers, Jurassic World, TLJ and TFA has 4 (five) ((Previews), Friday, Saturday, Sunday and second Saturday).

 

So 75.8

61

50 would mean an OW of $186.8M

and 26 Monday would be a 212.8M 4-Day.

Come to think of it, is there a black woman comics figure?

There is more than one on TV right now, and even one who is lesbian:

 

The next (and actual) "first" superhero would be LGBTQ, and compared to WW or BP it would be actually bold not only for the genre but for modern blockbusters in general (see how afraid studios are in BATB, Thor 3 and perhaps FB2).

[Lordmandeep]

I fully expect the 2nd trailer for iw to feature wakandan battle scene a lot plus the money shot of Thanos doing some insane powerful thing (from the Comic con trailer).

[KJsooner]

Nobody gives a fuck about paddington.

What show is this from? I watch all the superhero stuff and don't remember this character
