Since its to late to open a club, will BP2 surpass TGM at the domestic box office?

Won’t even be close. Best case scenario for BPWF still brings it $150M short of TGM.

FRIDAY MIDDAY: Right now we hear that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is heading for an $80M+ Friday, for what will be a $170M-$180M opening weekend.

 

There is hope that the Ryan Coogler directed and written sequel could overtake Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness‘ $187.4M opening, however, it’s still too early. Currently in hourlies, Wakanda Forever is overtaking Doctor Strange 2 and Thor: Love & Thunder. The sequel doesn’t appear to be front-loaded. If it emulates exactly Doctor Strange 2, it will come in less than that movie. In terms of Wakanda Forever coming up short of Doctor Strange 2 in previews by $8M, sources attribute that to the time of year and running times. More people were available back in early May than November, plus Doctor Strange 2 ran at 2 hours and 6 minutes while Wakanda Forever is 2 hours and 41 minutes.

 

With an $80M opening day that includes last night’s $28M, Wakanda Forever is the 13th highest opening day of all-time, just under The Avengers’ $80.8M (May 4, 2012). A $170M-$180M opening gets Wakanda Forever into the top 17 best U.S. openings at the B.O., a range that includes such MCU titles as Captain America: Civil War ($179.1M, No. 13) and Iron Man 3 ($174.1M, No. 16).

80m would be great if wasn't a holiday 

[eddyxx]

The movie did not feel like 2 hours and 41 minutes at all. The run time flew by for me and my butt only got numb once.

80 million is great period. The fact that it will likely go high is even better.

Third belongs to Universal’s fourth weekend of Ticket to Paradise at 3,633 which is eyeing a fourth Friday of $2.4M, -9%, and a 3-day of $6.9M, -19%, and total of $57.3M.

 

Sony’s Lyle, Lyle Crocodile at 2,486 has a sixth Friday of $1.1M, and an estimated sixth weekend of $3.3M, even with last weekend and a running cume by Sunday of $40.9M.

 

Fifth goes to Paramount’s seventh weekend of Smile at 2,271 theaters with a Friday of $675K, 3-day of $1.9M, -52% and running total by Sunday of $102.3M.

 

What the heck is with this Black Adam discrepancy? You really couldn't pick a smaller range?

[GOGODanca]

The DS sequel was built up as mega event film not a standalone sequel like BP2

That's what I thought too but I'm looking at it from a different perspective. Doctor Strange MoM was Marvel's #1 event this year. They marketed it as such and put it in their prime early May spot.

Anyway, T-15 to showtime for me. See y'all on the other side!
