paperheart Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Deadline estimating an insane $105MM 2nd weekend, seems pie in the sky. Anything north of $80MM would be huge. Deadline needs a better editor or someone that can do arithmetic; 55-57% decline would be an $87- 91MM weekend.

It had the human quality to it where you cared about the characters and not just another explosion fest. Exactly. My co-worker who is Algerian only takes his whole family to see one (1) movie /year and BP was it. The 2 late teen girls enjoyed the soundtrack and Gold Panther's acting. Co-worker enjoyed the African 'slave' sub-text which reminded him of Nelson Mandela's speeches. Good spcl effects but not too scary for families with younger kids.

I think what most comic connoisseurs (no pun intended) here don't see is that for the regular movie goer, not comic fan, this was perceived as an amazing cinematic experience. They didn't go to see it comparing it to other superheroes movies. That's why this movie is so effin out-the-box brilliant. I would've loved to be in that boardroom meeting when BP was discussed and see how this idea was developed DarthRawn, ComicConnoisseur, comic_memories and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr Sneeze Posted February 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 22, 2018 I haven't had a chance to see it yet but I'm really looking forward to seeing this. Seeing such an amazing reception to a character I thought of as pretty cool is awesome. I hope Stan is grinning ear to ear and Jack as well, where ever he may be. comic_memories, Azkaban, Unca Ben and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatsby77 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 For those keeping score, Black Panther's 5-day domestic total has bested Star Wars: The Last Jedi's 5-day domestic total by about $1.5 million.

Hamlet Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I saw it last night. I thought they did a very good job. I'd put it below the first Avengers, but above all of the Thor movies and the 2nd Guardians of the Galaxy for sure. I like that the villain had some depth to him. He has the same complexity that I always liked about Magneto. The themes of the movie are not as simple as they usually are in comic movies. It's clear that I'm never going to be able to buy a copy of FF52 for a reasonable amount after this ComicConnoisseur and Aweandlorder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree -- if BP does $100MM this weekend, its doing better than Infinity War isn't out of bounds. If it does $100MM this weekend, we're looking at $600+ million domestic. The Avengers did $624 million domestic. Age of Ultron did just $459 million domestic. Infinity War should be somewhere in the middle -- definitely $500 million domestic, but $600 million+ is not at all assured. Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from a minority group that was historically oppressed. 3. While justified and even sympithetic figures concerning their feelings, deciding to adopt similar violent methods that their oppressors used. 4. In many respects becoming what they hated and were fighting back against. 5. Insisting that the only way to win, get justice, and securing safety for their group required the conquest of everyone else.

If I had some speculative blood left in me, Id probably go for a 9.0 right now and keep it in the safe for a while ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsilverjanet Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I’m very curious to see how the use Black Panther in the movies moving forward. At this rate he’s their biggest box office hero since Iron Man. looks like Marvel may have found their star post RDJ greggy, DarthRawn, ComicConnoisseur and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatsby77 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Random question -- anyone know why Marvel tended to have Black Panther star in issues # 52? He debuted in FF # 52 Joined the Avengers in Avengers # 52 Guest-starred in Daredevil # 52 Seems weird... GAFLASH and DarthRawn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperheart Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 $292MM US going into 2nd weekend; simply using DP as a Feb comp i'd guess $28MM Fri, $42MM Sat, $28MM Sun for $390MM 10 day and 50/50 on eventual $600MM+ US.
