Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Sets New Box Office Record For 2022

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has broken a 2022 domestic box office record during its fourth weekend in theaters.

As reported by Screenrant, the project, which is the final theatrical film from Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is a direct sequel to 2018’s Black Panther, handling the fallout of the 2020 death of that film’s star Chadwick Boseman.

It follows various Wakandan characters including the Black Panther’s sister Shuri (Letitia Wright) and mother Ramonda (Angela Bassett) as they attempt to grieve his loss, fill the power vacuum he leaves behind, and fend off an attack from the underwater territory of Talokan, led by the mutant Namor (Tenoch Huerta Mejía).

The domestic box office of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has earned another win this weekend, taking in a higher-than-expected total of $17.6 million for a cumulative total of $393.7 million.
This has allowed it to maintain its status at the number one slot for the fourth weekend in a row, beating out the holiday action thriller Violent Night, which opened wide this weekend.

This makes it the first and only film of 2022 to hold that number one slot across four consecutive weekends, beating out previous threepeat titles Black Adam, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and The Batman.
