Box Office Showdown (2/16-2/19) Black Panther, Early Man

[Chaotic]

Black Panther
Buena Vista


Early Man
Lionsgate

[Creed]

BP is going to be huge!

[Blu Titan]

Not a showdown at all . Black Panther is a blockbuster.

[Chaotic]

Black Panther $171M
Early Man $3M

Finally a good week for new releases. I'll be doing a double feature like I did with Wonder Woman and Captain Underpants.

hollywood reporter article - Black Panther tracking at $165 mil.

Disney will be along shortly saying their internal tracking is $100 million, and then will feign surprise when it does $180+

[Troll2fan]

I may see Jumanji again or try to see Den of Thieves this weekend since none of the new releases are appealing to me.

Wow, that is a huge opening for BP...not that Everyone am surprised but still. I wonder if it will make it to $400 million domestic? I say “yes”.

If it passes Wonder Woman they better re-release Wonder Woman in theatres.

Doubt that The Avengers' opening weekend will go down to Black Panther, but I would love to see it happen. I am always in for new records (super hero) . They are forecasting +$200 million but over FOUR days .

[Batman1980]

Black Panther is probably still going to shatter pretty much every solo CBM record there is for opening weekend. Wonder if it will give Wonder Woman a run, probably.

[Cremildo]

Some overseas news... Um... DAYUM!

[Cremildo]

[Diesel]

Yowza

I think its guaranteed to hit $400M domestic with this kind of opening...wonder how much further it can go though.

Black Panther got an A+ CinemaScore. Word of mouth on this movie will be fantastic.

Early Man, on the other hand, got a B score, which is quite low for a family film. It's also tied for Aardman's lowest score to date with The Pirates: Band of Misfits.
