Walt DIsneyThanks to a $22.3 million opening day in China (including online ticketing fees, $20.7 million without), Black Panther is that much closer to the fabled $1 billion+ worldwide box office milestone. If it gets to $121m, it will be the biggest comic book superhero flick in China since Captain America: Civil War ($180m in 2016). Again, there is no real cause for concern, especially as Black Panther didn’t need China to save its butt. The fourth weekend looks to be over/under $40m giving the Ryan Coogler flick a $560-$565m 24-day domestic cume. Moreover, no, provided A Wrinkle in Time opens well, it does not matter which Walt Disney flick from a minority filmmaker featuring a majority-minority cast tops the weekend box office.
