“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” cracks the next milestone
“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” continues its successful run in theaters. The sequel to the 2018 mega hit according to US media cracked the 700 million mark. After the fourth consecutive weekend that Black Panther 2 has topped the US box office, the film has now grossed $394 million in North America. Outside of its home market, the Marvel extravaganza fetched $339 million. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever grossed $733 million worldwide.
Marvel colleague Thor in danger
“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” is now in 7th place in the worldwide cinema charts for 2022. A strong result for a film that hasn’t been running for a full four weeks yet. Remarkable, especially given that the film is not shown in the strong markets of China and Russia.
Directly ahead of “Black Panther” is currently “Thor: Love and Thunder” at number 6 in the annual charts. The Thunder God, played by Chris Hemsworth (39), grossed $ 760 million worldwide. But “Black Panther” will soon overtake the initial Marvel competitor, industry observers are sure of that.
The warrior women from Wakanda will probably not top another Marvel hero this calendar year. “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” is #3 on the annual charts with $955 million. #1 “Top Gun: Maverick” with $1,486 billion, episode of “Jurassic World: A New Age” (1,001 billion).
The first part probably remains untouched
“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” will probably not be able to catch up with its predecessor from 2018 either. “Black Panther” had already grossed $560 million four years ago after a month in US cinemas. After its triumphal march through the cinemas, the superhero film had grossed 1.3 billion worldwide. Unlike the sequel, the film starring the late Chadwick Boseman (1976-2020) also ran in China and Russia.
