Black Panther 2 Week 1 Box Office Passes Black Adam’s Worldwide Total
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has already outgrossed DC’s Black Adam. The new Marvel Cinematic Universe title, which will be the last theatrical release from Phase 4, came to theaters on November 11.
As reported by Screenrant, the film follows how the various Wakandan characters introduced in the original film are handling the death of T’Challa, a development that was added to the story after the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman in 2020.
Ramonda, Shuri, and the rest of Wakanda must also face off against a new threat posed by Tenoch Huerta’s Namor, the leader of the underwater territory of Talokan.
Additional MCU returnees include Lupita Nyong’o as Nakia, Danai Gurira as Okoye, and Winston Duke as M’Baku.
Currently, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the eleventh highest-grossing film on the worldwide chart for the entire year, sandwiched between Black Adam at #12 and Uncharted at #10.
However, the film is projected to bring its total gross to at least $550 million by the end of this weekend, which would shoot it past Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore to the #7 slot.
