The box office roared back to life with the long-awaited release of 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.' The Marvel sequel earned $180 million in ticket sales from more than 4,396 theaters in the U.S. and Canada.
."Wakanda Forever" became, instead, about the death of Boseman's King T'Challa/Black Panther, and the grieving kingdom he left behind. Returning actors include Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong'o, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke and Danai Gurira, who face off against a new foe in Tenoch Huerta's Namor. The film would face more complications too, including Wright getting injured and some COVID-19 related setbacks.
"Wakanda Forever" is first film to open over $100 million since"Thor" in July, which has been difficult for exhibitors that are already dealing with a calender that has about 30% fewer wide releases than in a normal year. "It's been a very interesting post-summer period for movie theaters, with some gems out there doing well like 'Ticket to Paradise' and 'Smile,'" Dergarabedian said."But movie theaters can't survive on non-blockbuster style films. The industry needs more of these."
