astonishing $108 million from more than 4,000 theaters across North America!
astonishing $108 million from more than 4,000 theaters across North America!
That's the second-best second weekend of all time — lagging only behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015!!
Overseas, you can keep the numbers coming too, because Black Panther took home another $83.8 million from 55 international markets over its second weekend out — giving it an international-only tally of $304 million right now two weeks in!
Take EVERYTHING together — the international numbers as well as the $400+ million from North America in just over ten days — and Black Panther has already tallied $704 million in total! Incredible!
Oh, and get ready for this: it hasn't even shown in Russia (Monday!), Japan (next weekend), or China (March 9) yet… so expect those global box office numbers to go MUCH higher!
Disney's film distribution head Dave Hollis continues to be amazed by the movie (below):
"The movie continues to play ahead of our modeling. It has become a cultural phenomenon. This is a movie audiences were hoping for, and that delivered beyond expectations."
in case you're wondering, other movies DID open up this weekend too, LOLz!
Game Night did a solid $16.6 million debut in its first weekend in theaters, the pic no doubt helped by an ensemble cast including Rachel McAdams and Jason Bateman.
And Annihilation, starring Gina Rodriguez and Natalie Portman, did a more sluggish $11 million in its opener this weekend in theaters.
