While Black Panther may still fare well and pull off a minimal decrease, we think Pacific Rim Uprising will take the top spot with $26.4 million.
While most movies post greater declines from weekend to weekend the farther they get into their Box Office run, Black Panther has actually been improving from weekend to weekend, posting smaller decreases.
This weekend, Black Panther faces its greatest challenge yet, with five new movies opening in wide release, with Universal’s Pacific Rim Uprising, Paramount’s Sherlock Gnomes, Open Road Films’ Midnight Sun, Bleecker Street’s Unsane and Sony’s Paul, Apostle of Christ.
