‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ Makes Box Office History
This means the superhero movie snatched the slot that The Hunger Games: Catching Fire secured in 2013 with its one hundred and fifty-eight million dollars’ debut.
Just so you know, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever also secured the biggest opening weekend of all time in West Africa, with a box office tally of two hundred and forty million Naira from Nigeria alone.
In East Africa, the film earned Kes 25 million, earning the titles of the biggest opening weekend box office of 2022 and the biggest post-pandemic opening.
In Southern Africa, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever brought in R16.5 million, becoming the biggest opening weekend box office of 2022.
2018’s Black Panther remains the number 1 film of all time in East and West Africa and the number two film of all time in Southern Africa.
This box office win comes after the Marvel story faced significant challenges in its return to the big screen, as fans were worried about how the creative team would handle the storyline after Chadwick Boseman, who played King T’Challa and Black Panther in the 2018 film, passed away in 2020 from colon cancer.
