Wakanda’s coffers are once again filled to overflowing. ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’, the film closing Phase 4 of MCU, lived up to expectations and smoothly grabbed the worldwide box office. In its first weekend, it raised $180 million in the United States and another $150 million in the rest of the world, reaching a global total of more than $330 million.. It becomes the third best post-pandemic premiere, surpassed only by ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ and ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’.
Focusing on North America, Ryan Coogler’s film broke the record held so far by ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ as the best debut of a film in November. It is the second best opening of the year, behind ‘Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness’, which remains above by 7 million dollars. As far as history goes, it is the 13th best opening in history (without adjusting for ticket price inflation). Despite exceeding Disney’s forecast (they gave him 175 million), failed to make it past the ‘Black Panther’ premiere, which debuted in the US in 2018 to over $200 million. Now we’ll have to see how it holds up, because the first installment became a box office phenomenon there by staying at No. 1 for five weeks and amassing $700 million there alone.
In the international market there is talk of the fifth best premiere of the pandemic, with European and Latin American markets higher than expected. In Asia, it fared a little worse than expected, especially in South Korea and Japan, failing to reach the top spot in second place, which went to Makoto Shinkai’s new film, ‘Suzume No Tojimari’. The main data comes from the UK, France and Mexico.
In Spain, as reported by Comscore, it also made No. 1 at the box office. According to Disney, its collection was 2.7 million euros, being above “Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets,” but it would be the seventh-best premiere of the year. Next would be ‘Uncharted’, ‘The Batman’, ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’, ‘Minions: The Origin of Gru’, ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ and the champion anchor, ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ with the its 5.65 million euros in its first weekend. It improves, yes, the 2.3 million euros with which ‘Black Panther’ debuted in our country in 2018.
A huge kudos to everything #black Panther SQUAD, @MarvelStudios @Disney Studios

There is no war between Black Panther and Black Adam
Those $330 million puts him just $20 million short of the total collection of ‘Black Adam’, which is about to complete a month in theaters with a global cumulative of $352 million. Far from making comparisons, Dwayne Johnson wanted to congratulate the Marvel cinematic team for the blockbuster, proving that there is no war between DC professionals and the House of Ideas: “A huge congratulations to the entire team of ‘Black Panther’, Marvel Studios and Disney. The biggest premiere of the month of November. That’s a lot of happy viewers all over the world. Beautiful! I can’t wait to see the movie” he wrote in a tweet.
