Insiders also confirmed the figures to ‘The Hollywood Reporter’. Bob Chapek, the CEO of the Walt Disney Co., is also pleased with the news. In a statement, Chapek made it clear that Ryan Coogler, the director of the film, once again delivered a strong result, which in turn can be deduced from the first figures.
It is also expected that the amount in question will rise to 65 million dollars and that the print will actually appear in cinemas. ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ is doing better than ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’. ‘Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness’ did a little better.
The original film, which saw the light in February 2018, grossed about $55 million in pre-sale. The opening weekend of the first print was good for $ 202 million. In total, the first ‘Black Panther’ film grossed $1.34 billion. Whether his successor will do just as well remains to be seen.
