the Extra-Terrestrial,” “Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace,” the original 1977 “Star Wars” and “Titanic”) having crossed that mark since 2000.ĭespite the “Avatar” sequel likely to take away much of “Wakanda Forever’s” hold on the box office once it takes over premium theater formats like IMAX and Dolby, the Marvel movie should theoretically pass the $404 million gross of “Jurassic Park” in 1993, and others like 2013’s “Frozen” ($400.9 million), 2002’s “Spider-Man” ($407 million), 2012’s “The Hunger Games” ($408 million), 2017’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” ($404.5 million), and a few others as it slowly peters out while still maintaining a presence through Christmas week.

The original “Black Panther” was able to hit the $400 million mark after just 10 days, but it also opened with $202 million, compared to “Wakanda Forever” reaching the mark on Day 28 after a still-impressive $181.3 million opening in mid-November.

James Cameron ’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” is hitting theaters in just one short week, giving Marvel Studios’ “ Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” very little time to achieve some of the milestones of the original “Black Panther” back in 2018.
