According to box office forecasts, the Marvel Studios sequel will have a domestic opening weekend of $175-185 million and a massive worldwide opening haul of $335-365 million — the third-largest pandemic era debut, running down onlyMarvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home($568m) last December andDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness($429m) this summer.

Wakanda Foreverpaid homage toBlack PantheractorChadwick Boseman, who died of cancer in August 2020. Rather than being recast, his character will be written out of the MCU in the sequel. Marvel unveiled the film’s tear-jerking trailer at San Diego Comic-Con, paying respect to Boseman and his character T’Challa’s legacy.
The film is finally set to hit theatres, and early ticket sales indicate that Marvel Studios may have another blockbuster on their hands. Through Sunday, advance ticket sales for Disney-Marvel Studios’Black Panther: Wakanda Foreverstand at $45 million, chasingDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessby about 20% and ahead ofThor: Love & Thunderby 40%.
It’s being speculated that by Friday, the total could be between $60 and $65 million in advanced ticket sales, which would be more than the $55 million earned byBlack Pantherin advanced ticket sales in 2018. It went on to gross $202 million in its first weekend.

How will Black Panther: Wakanda Forever perform compared to other MCU films
It will be exciting to see ifBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever‘s opening weekend increases compared to the first film, which set records, or if it decreases slightly. Even if it doesn’t earn as much as the firstBlack Panther, the sequel is likely to rank among the top earners in the MCU. WhileBlack Panther: Wakanda Forevermay trailDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessin terms of advanced ticket sales, this does not account for people who wait in line the weekend of the film’s release or walk up to the ticket counter.
Wakanda Foreveris expected to open to $175-$185 million, with a global debut of $355-$365 million. The critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes is 90%.
We’ve heard that advance ticket sales forBlack Panther 2will be evenly distributed over the upcoming holiday weekend rather than being front-loaded. Because 52% of K-12 schools are closed on Friday for Veterans Day, the box office should see an increase.
