In the North American market alone, Marvel – Disney’s work Black Panther had an unsatisfactory opening, earning $192 million in ticket sales.
The figure of $192 million is almost double or half the expected revenue set in January this year, when director Ryan Coogler’s work was expected to have a revenue of between 100 million and 120 million.
It is the highest-grossing February opening weekend in history, and the fifth-highest opening weekend in history.
Black Panther’s budget is $200 million, which is not a small number, but at this rate, this will continue to be a big profitable movie for Marvel after last year’s success from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 to Thor: Ragnarok.
Black Panther’s reputation has long existed thanks to rave reviews from critics.
Moviegoers in North America witnessed the large participation of people of color, accounting for 37% of people going to theaters of African descent.
The film stars Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa/Black Panther, facing off against Michael B. Jordan’s villain Eric Killmonger, and also stars Letitia Wright, Lupita Nyong’o, Angela Bassett, Danai
This week, because of the complete dominance of Black Panther, the sales of other movies were more or less affected.
Despite the great shadow of Black Panther, two films bravely dared to be released in the same week to enter the top 10 revenue rankings.
Meanwhile, the movie that not many people care about is Samson with a cast that not many people care about, sitting in 10th place with 1.97 million dollars inspired by the character of the same name in The Book of Leaders (The Book of Leaders).
