According to Variety, T'Challa's first solo adventure actually clawed in $60.1 million, which means that if the $40.17? Monday estimates are accurate the movie will come away with a $242 million four-day debut.
This means Black Panther would not only take the crown for the largest ever President’s Day weekend as well as the highest three-day debut ever for a February release, but it would give it the best four-day opening for any superhero film in history.
Honestly, the way this movie continues to defy all expectations, it wouldn't be at all surprising if it once again surpassed even these high figures.
