http://deadline.com/tag/black-panther/
Tuesday 8:35 AM: Disney has just confirmed what we saw earlier:
Marvel’s
Black Panther is the second-biggest 4-day opener of all-time at the domestic B.O. with
$241.96M, after
Force Awakens ($288M) and beating
Star Wars: Last Jedi ($241.6M). Monday also marked an all-time record with
$40.167M, beating
Force Awakens‘ $40.11M (Dec. 21, 2015).
Black Panther also posted the second best Sunday ever at the domestic B.O. with $60.096M behind
Forces Awakens ($60.5M).

Tuesday 7:20 AM Update: Industry morning estimates indicate that Disney/Marvel’s
Black Panther has cleared
$242M, which means that the superhero now owns the second-best 4-day opening of all-time behind
Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($288.07M) and slashes the FSSM run of
Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($241.6M) last December. It’s still early and Disney has yet to call the record. The 4-day for
Black Panther should be around $242.4M. Ticket sales for the Ryan Coogler-directed movie were -34% on Presidents Day Monday for $40M-$40.1M. With those figures,
Black Panther could very well own the all-time Monday domestic record as well, beating
Force Awakens’ $40.1M. Another big winner for Disney, which now owns eight of the top 10 slots on the all-time domestic openers chart.
Black Panther slotted 5th this weekend with $201.8M, and it’s only one of five titles to crack past the two-century mark in a three-day period.
