That's even higher than estimates. Will be interesting to see how much it drops in week#2.

I’m sure they’re already thinking about the sequel.

It’s going to be a franchise!

When adjusted for inflation, Black Panther finishes behind Force Awakens, Jurassic World and The Avengers.

Hollyweird folks complain about guns but yet this movie had 163 shootings.

It’s getting a lot of help:

“THE THEME of giving back to your community runs strong through “Black Panther,” so it’s only fitting that campaigns and charity efforts have sprung up with one mission in mind: to help disadvantaged kids, many them of color, see Marvel’s ultimate black superhero come to their neighborhood.”

Have not seen it and don’t plan to see it.
But the Black Panther is a much better role model
than Jesse High Jackson or Al Sharpton.

I wonder how many ticket sales were in fact “phantom” ticket sales?

No surprise given our racist volksgeist: Negroes are wonderful and holy; whites are evil and Negroes should kill them.

Meh, I saw the live show in 1968.

Don’t care if the SFX are better this time.

The cynic in me wonders how many used EBT cards to buy theatre tickets.

The cynic in me thinks this was propped up to be number one at all costs kind of like Obama.

Haven't seen it but two friends have already.

They each were praising the remarkably conservative themes of Black Panther. How Wakanda is a nation of people who support themselves, maintain their borders, and are at heart capitalists. And the bad guys were almost blatantly Black Lives Matter.

I am intrigued, to put it mildly.

The entire point of the film is to make Africans look intelligent. I just observe their cities and countries. I don’t need a movie to show otherwise.

Ummm, Last Jedi was not all that......

The ONLY reason Last Jedi did as well as it did was because of the Star Wars fan base.

Historic Opening?
Will history books in the future tell the story of how much money this movie made?

I was listening to kabc radio this morning and they had a movie reviewer on and he and the host were talking about the movie for about 20 mins. They talked about diversity and raising the hopes of black people everywhere and never got around to saying what the movie was about.....
