Black Panther 2 Box Office Predictions To Cross The $1 Billion Line

Wakanda Forever was undoubtedly one of the biggest premieres in 2022. Having been released last November, the film has grossed $735 million so far. The final Black Panther 2 box office predictions show whether the most recent Marvel’s superhero movie will or won’t break the $1 billion mark.

If you haven’t heard of Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever, this is a new Marvel movie based on superhero character T’Challa aka Black Panther. The movie is a sequel to the 2018 Black Panther, starring Chadwick Boseman in the lead role. Unfortunately, Boseman died from cancer in 2020 and this tragic event led to significant changes in the sequel. Marvel chose not to hire another actor for his role. Hence, Wakanda Forever had to focus on other characters, which definitely influenced the movie’s success along with the world crisis. 

Despite a series of unpleasant factors, Black Panther 2 is doing it well in the box office. The film grossed $84.3 million on its first day and $181 million on the premiere weekend. Wakanda Forever also received positive reviews from critics and viewers. They contributed to the movie’s stability in the box office for the first four weeks. 

Wakanda Forever Owns the Box Office for the 4th Week 

As online betting sites in the US predicted, Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever continues its domination on big screens. As of now, the movie grossed $735 million worldwide and doesn’t seem to stop until next week. In general, Wakanda Forever became one of the most successful movie releases in 2022. It currently holds the 7th spot on the list of the highest-grossing films of the year. It is also the third-most successful MCU film in 2022 after Doctor Strange 2 and Thor 4. 

The main question that bothers Marvel movie fans is whether Wakanda Forever will cross the $1 billion line or not? The first part finished with $1.3 billion, becoming the 3rd highest-grossing MCU film and the 9th highest-grossing film ever. Will the sequel repeat its triumph? 

Final Black Panther 2 Box Office Predictions

Following 22Bet, Black Panther 2 box office predictions to gross $1 billion don’t look very optimistic. Why? Well, the sequel didn’t perform as well as Black Panther during the opening weekend. Also, it wasn’t released in China, while this country gave the original around $100 million. Finally, a serious contender is coming to take most screens from the Wakandans. Surely, we are talking about James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water, which will hit big screens in one week. 

It took 13 years for Cameron to finally come up with a sequel to the 2009 movie. Avatar was a true phenomenon in many aspects, including the box office success. The movie grossed almost $3 billion worldwide and became the highest-grossing release of all time. No wonder that the sequel is highly anticipated by movie fans, meaning the Wakandans will definitely be defeated by Na’vi in the box office.

So, we can say for sure that Black Panther 2 will beat Thor: Love and Thunder in the near future and become the 3rd highest-grossing MCU film in Phase 4. But you can now bet on the movie not to cross the necessary $1 billion line in 2022. If you are interested in learning more about Avatar 2, check out The Way of Water box office predictions.
