Marvel's Black Panther opened in U.S. theaters for preview night screenings on Thursday night to an estimated $25 million.
Earlier on Thursday night, analysts were predicting the film would land in the $22 million to $24 million range but is now looking to have surpassed the quarter-century mark. Such a number will make Black Panther the second largest opening of any Marvel Studios film to date, behind only Avengers: Age of Ultron's opening night haul of $27.6 million, and ahead of Captain America: Civil War's $25 million.
Black Panther is flirting with double the Thursday numbers which Deadpool saw in its opening weekend on February 12 of 2016: $12.7. Deadpool would go on to pull in $152.1 million that weekend. It's looking like T'Challa and his Wakandan nation will enjoy more riches, as the film could earn as much as $200 million over the weekend and is expected to land above $180 million.
In its first two days open overseas, Black Panther earned $23.2 million in 17 box office markets. More specifically, Black Panther garnered $4.7 million in Korea, marking the market's second largest opening of any Marvel Studios title. In the United Kingdom, the film has earned $7.2 million, topping Doctor Strange, Ant-Man, Wonder Woman, and Deadpool.
