BOX OFFICE: BLACK PANTHER Could Become The Highest Grossing Superhero Movie Of All-Time Domestically
The good news keeps on coming for Marvel's Black Panther as analysts now believe that it could become the biggest superhero movie ever in North America! How did it perform yesterday? You can find out here.
Black Panther scored the second best 4 day opening of all-time with $242 million and then had the best Monday ever at the domestic box office but did it do yesterday? Well, it probably won't surprise you to learn that the Marvel Studios movie also had the best pre-summer Tuesday take too, topping last year's Beauty and the Beast and beating The Avengers' $17.6 million with a cool $21.07 million.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens holds the all-time Tuesday record with $37.3 million but Black Panther's current five-day haul is $263.2 million, a whopping amount which it took nine days for The Avengers to reach back in 2012. Now, it's thought that the Ryan Coogler helmed release will pass $300 million domestically by Friday and it should earn $104 million to $109 million during its second weekend.
Some analysts believe that Black Panther will ultimately earn more domestically than The Avengers, a feat which would make it North America's highest grossing superhero movie of all-time. We'll have to wait and see whether or not that happens but it's entirely feasible and it's going to be very interesting seeing if Avengers: Infinity War can top T'Challa's solo adventure. For that, we'll have to wait and see.
