Black Panther' Opening Weekend Box Office Rises to $201.8 Million 3-Day, $235 Million 4-Day

[RandySF]

Black Panther's box office dominance continues to expand as the numbers from Sunday roll in and new projections are made.

Black Panther earned $60.1 million on Sunday. That’s the second-highest Sunday box office total of all time behind the $60.5 million that Star Wars: The Force Awakens made on December 20, 2015.

Black Panther’s three-day box office now stands at $201.8 million. That’s still the fifth-highest opening of all time and the second-highest opening for a Marvel movie behind Marvel’s The Avengers, which made $207.4 million in 2012. It's also the biggest President's Day weekend opening and biggest February opening of all time, stealing both records away from 2016's Deadpool opening.

Black Panther is now projected for a four-day opening total of $235 million. That would surpass the four-day totals of both The Avengers ($226.3 million) and Jurassic World ($234 million) to make Black Panther the third-largest four-day opening of all time. Black Panther would still trail behind Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($241.6 million) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($288 million).

1. The Alt-cott didnt go so well.

2. Amazingly thoughtful movie for "just another superhero movie"...

I loved it not just for all the spectacle and flash - but for the well-fleshed characters and the weight of social history that was behind the story. Let's just say there were a few Oscar-worthy performances there.
