The record-setting 24 hours also shows that there’s a core fan base for Black Panther that is incredibly passionate for the movie, which could also mean many will be seeing the film more than once, which could impact the opening weekend that much more, and will certainly impact its overall box office take.
Black Panther tickets recently went on sale and Fandango proceeded to sell more tickets in the first 24 hours than any film in Marvel movie history.
That shows just how strong the demand is for the film.
While the opening numbers currently show Black Panther falling in line with other recent MCU films as far as the box office goes, odds are that those projections will only increase between now and the film’s opening next month as Marvel’s marketing shifts into high gear.
