BlackPanther WakandaForever will retain its top position at the box office this weekend, moving past a domestic haul of $350 million.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever performed well at the box office during a quiet Thanksgiving weekend, besting Disney's Strange World as the animated film fails to find its footing. It's no surprise that, as the highly-anticipated sequel to 2018's Black Panther and the final film in Phase 4 of the MCU, Wakanda Forever has scored high at the box office since its debut earlier this month.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Despite a rather low-performing Thanksgiving weekend overall, Variety reports that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever topped the box office, while Disney's Strange World finds trouble staying afloat. The 30th MCU film scored $8.1 million on Thanksgiving day, as well as $18.2 million on Friday. Disney's new animated film, however, only garnered $5.2 million, bringing its total box office performance on opening weekend to $11.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has performed well at the box office not only because it honors Boseman's life, but also due to its position as the last film in Phase Four of the MCU. Despite some middling box office performers like Black Widow and Eternals during Phase 4, the MCU has continued to prove its popularity through the success of films like Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
The introduction of characters like Namor and Ironheart also helped to bolster its performance at the box office, especially with both playing pivotal roles in the film. The introduction of Namor as the antagonist of the movie underscores his role as an anti-hero in Marvel's comics, while Ironheart offers a look at the next generation of Avengers who will be drawing inspiration from Iron Man and other heroes from the Infinity Saga.
