King of Wakanda, and king of the box office: Ryan Coogler's Black Panther has broken all kinds of records and dominated the BO for the past five weeks, becoming the first film to do so since 2009's Avatar. Unfortunately, it seems the king maybe be relinquishing the crown this weekend following the release of Pacific Rim Uprising.
Variety reports that the sequel to Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim looks to earn between $22 million to $29 million domestically, which would likely take it past Black Panther to take the number one spot. Regardless, the wildly successful Marvel Studios film has now topped $1.2 billion worldwide and will probably continue with another $15 million to $18 million domestic haul over its sixth weekend in theatres.
