The first receipts are in and they are relatively good. Deadline is reporting the film is number one in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom. The comparisons are a bit difficult to make sense of, given the odd release dates of the film. Some of the comps are Tuesdays versus Fridays and February is not a traditional blockbuster month (though that is changing). Black Panther is outperforming Deadpool in the UK, but the X-Men fourth wall breaker was a film with a low international percentage, compared to MCU films. The King of Wakanda is also doing better than Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant-Man in the Asian territories reporting.
At this point, these numbers don’t mean a whole lot. It will help to see full weekend numbers for more apples to apples comparisons. And with all due respect to the good people of Hong Kong and the $500K they dropped on Black Panther, the international picture is far more shaped by some larger markets. In particular, how will the film do in China? For a film like Black Panther major success in China could boost the film 10-20% overall with the possibility of a nine figure haul.
Also the wikie for Black Panther is updated with Plot information, I read it and I am pretty excited for the movie which I will be seeing this Saturday. below is the link if your one of those people where reading the Wiki doesn't spoil the movie. So read at your own rise being there are spoilers....
