BlackPanther WakandaForever is the first film in 2 years to stay at the top of the box office for five weeks in a row.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has continued its streak at number 1 in the domestic box office, holding it longer than any film in 2021 or 2022 so far. The film, which is the final theatrical outing from Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, follows the residents of Wakanda grieving the death of their former Black Panther T'Challa.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Per Deadline, the hit film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is projected to take in an additional $11 million this weekend for a cumulative domestic total of $401.55 million. This will make it number 1 at the box office this weekend, ahead of David Harbour's Santa action-comedy Violent Night at number 2 and Disney's Strange World at number 3.
The second reason is the fact that tentpole filmmaking in 2022 is still suffering from the fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. While films are still being made and released, this year saw fewer major wide releases per weekend as compared to the pre-pandemic average, and the November 11 release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever came at an unusually slow time with little competition between it and the release of the long-awaited James Cameron sequel Avatar: The Way of Water on December 16.
While the complicated pandemic era box office helped Black Panther: Wakanda Forever keep its streak going, it helped 2020's Tenet even more considering the fact that the Nolan epic was the only major wide release of that month. The same thing happened with the horror film The Wretched, which ruled for five weekends in May 2020.
