Black Panther’ Poised to Slash ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ 4-Day Haul With $212M

By the time the four-day President’s Day holiday stretch ends, Black Panther will have surpassed many of Marvel and DC’s mightiest on the all-time domestic B.O. openers chart. Black Panther is now looking at the 6th best opening of all-time on a 3-day basis with an estimated $185.4M per industry projections and a mind-blowing $212.1M over four days.

On the 3-day all-time chart, Black Panther is just above Captain America: Civil War ($179.1M). Remember that Fandango’s advance ticket sales out of the gate back in January in their first 24 hours indicated that T’Challa was beating Cap, however, analysts didn’t rush to comp the Wakanda superhero to Marvel’s other titles.

While Black Panther is under Avengers: Age of Ultron on the 3-day all-time openers list ($191.2M), the pic is beating the sequel’s four-day run ($204.4M). Black Panther has already left Disney’s Beauty and the Beast ($174.7M) and WB/DC’s Batman v. Superman ($166M) in the dust to become the biggest pre-summer opener.
