However, it helps that almost nothing is in its wake until James Cameron’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” touches down in domestic theaters on Dec. In the case of “Wakanda Forever,” another obstacle will be its two-hour-and-41-minute runtime, which limits the number of screenings per day. The original “Black Panther” dominated during its theatrical run, ending with $700 million in North America and $1.4 billion worldwide. With those obstacles, only three COVID-era movies - “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Jurassic World Dominion” - have generated at least $1 billion globally.
During the pandemic, that’s been a tougher threshold to cross since moviegoing hasn’t fully rebounded and China and Russia - two major international film markets - have been out of play due to geo-political tensions. It’ll need to sustain its momentum through Thanksgiving and beyond to justify its price tag and crack the coveted $1 billion mark. In 2021, the studio’s movies generated $2.9 billion through the end of the year.īut the follow-up to the cultural phenomenon “Black Panther” was expensive, costing $250 million to produce and at least $100 million to promote. With this weekend’s results, Disney’s 2022 releases have collectively grossed $3 billion, the 14th year the studio has achieved the milestone. It’s only the seventh film in 2022 to surpass $200 million in North American ticket sales. Already, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” ranks among the highest-grossing movies of the year with $205 million at the domestic box office and $350 million globally.
