60+ theaters is great news, it had the lowest theater number when you look at all the other films that did over 200m opening weekend

Yes true. Theater owners must be celebrating like crazy as this has done way better than they would have expected. May the run continue for a very long time! t: Maybe IW coming out can give it a late boost too. (now moved to Apr 27 in U.S.)

the way the movie is holding they could have added 100 theaters.

 

[KevTravels]

As of Wednesday it's at $763 million WW, so what's the estimate now? Can it reach 1.2 billion?

Should do. Over $600m domestic would leave slightly under $600m for overseas which should be achievable with China yet to open.

I wouldn't be surprised if some theaters have a double feature with BP and IW, plus the marathons that tend to go with these films.

This will help in associating the 2 as well and showing that they have some big things in common.

From Forbes (Scott Mendelson):

Since it has passed the $422m (including reissues) gross of The Lion King, Black Panther is now the highest-grossing cat-centric hit of all time.

From Forbes (Scott Mendelson):

Black Panther is inspiring people to adopt black cats from shelters. This is good news for domestic mini-panthers everywhere.

Our next cat (if we ever get one) will be named "T'Challa".

There’s no question about it whatsoever: Disney/Marvel’s Black Panther will own the top spot at the box office in its third weekend with a 3-day that’s well north of $60M, with a possible shot at $70M.

Yesterday, T’Challa made $6.6M, -4% from Wednesday with a running domestic tally of $435.4M. The pic would need to clear $64.6M to hit the half billion mark in U.S./Canada by Sunday, and that’s not a ridiculous bar for the Marvel movie to clear.

The $500m mark is a real possibility by Sunday. Great to hear deadline very optimistic about this weekend too.

Haha nice. I have quite a few little black cats that sneak into my garden. Will have to leave more food out for them in honour of Black Panther.

I think BP has a chance to remain #1 even after AWIT comes out next week.

 

[Ctfxcwatcher]

That's a good number from Thursday. It stayed flat so good sign for the weekend it looks like.

 

[bubbadoom]

Can it reach $1 billion in the next 55 days - before Infinity War opens...?

I this ANY sort of real competition?

Yeah, won't be a million miles away after this weekend's grosses are added.

What is AWIT expected to open with?
