Black Panther is a big box office hit. Expectations for the film were high due to the promise of Shuri taking up the heroic mantle, as well as the film being a tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman. The superhero sequel has destroyed expectations. At the time of writing, the 12th highest start in MCU history has been achieved by the film. November's highest-grossing film in North America was The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which made $170 million. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is the second highest domestic debut of all time with $7.4 million. It has had the third best start behind Spider-Man: No Way Home and Multiverse.
There is no doubt that the movie will have legs throughout the rest of the month. It will have some competition, particularly towards the end of the month, and all of them will hit a different audience. There is a war drama starring fan favorite actors Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell, as well as a semi-biopic by Steven Spielberg. Glass Onion is the sequel to a movie called Knives Out.
Can it reach the high of the previous year? Disney paused on releasing films in Russia and China because of the invasion of Ukraine, and that remains the big question of the upcoming film, which is coming out without a planned release for those countries. There is nothing that this second movie in the series is paving the way for in a couple of months. It will serve as an extra boost to the box office if Disney puts the film up for Oscar consideration.
