Another BP B.O. update.
It's predicted to top $120M for its second weekend (that's more than it was originally predicted to make in early OW predictions, and way more than JL's opening weekend).
Chances are, it comes in higher than that as BP had been out doing every prediction thrown at it so far.
Either way, it's already done amazing, so it's all just icing on Marvels cake.
Just wanted to add something to this historic run for Black Panther. If BP hits over $100M in it's 2nd weekend, it will be the 4th film to ever accomplish that.
But here are some other records that it now holds:
LARGEST FEBRUARY OPENING WEEKEND - $202,003,951PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Deadpool ($132,434,639)
LARGEST WINTER SEASON OPENING WEEKEND - $202,003,951PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Deadpool ($132,434,639)
LARGEST PRESIDENT'S DAY WEEKEND OPENING - $242,155,680PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Deadpool ($152,193,853)
LARGEST MONDAY - $40,151,729PREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($40,109,742)
LARGEST THURSDAY PREVIEW GROSS IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY - $25.2 millionPREVIOUS RECORD HOLDER: Deadpool ($12.7 million)
I know Deadpool enjoyed it while it lasted. But the King has ascended to his throne in the month of February, making Black History.
edit:
It also holds the 2nd Highest 4-Day Gross of All Time and 2nd Highest Sunday of All Time (2nd to SW:TFA)
2nd Highest Opening for a Comicbook Movie (2nd to The Avengers)
3rd Largest "Per Theater" average and that is with the smallest theater count in Top 15 Openings of All Time
15th Largest World Wide debut (w/o China or Russia) - China delayed to Lunar New Year
next we await to see if what the weekend brings.
p.s. I hear Game Night is pretty good if you're looking for a comedy this weekend.
