Already the top superhero film when it comes to pre-release tickets, Black Panther is tracking to debut with at least $120 million during its opening weekend, assuring that the Ryan Coogler-directed movie will be yet another hit for Marvel Studios.
Black Panther is breaking another Fandango record, outpacing all first quarter movie releases to become the highest grossing January to March film with respect to ticket pre-sales.
Between its advanced ticket sales and great word of mouth from pre-release screenings, Black Panther is now expected to soar to similar box office heights next week.
Speaking of sales tracking, THR reports that Black Panther is not only Fandango’s biggest superhero movie ever in terms of pre-release ticket sales, it’s also set a record among first quarter movie releases for the site.
