Still, it's the biggest of any film since Thor: Love and Thunder, though Wakanda Forever will overtake it any day now. Worldwide it is at $352 million, which isn't a great cume as the grosses start to wind down considering its $200 million budget. Despite the blockbuster competition that arrived in its fourth weekend, the numbers didn't totally collapse, dropping 53 % for a cume of $151 million. Movie, which is the biggest grosser of the rough post-summer, pre-Wakanda Forever season, came in second with just $8.6 million. The difference may not feel that large when a mega blockbuster is propping up the grosses, but the contrast is harsher when the mid-level films are the entire box office as we saw in recent months. It'd be another story if audiences didn't love the film, but the positive reception suggests that Wakanda Forever will outperform the legs on this year's earlier MCU titles (Multiverse of Madness and Love and Thunder had multipliers of 2.2 and 2.3 respectively). Legging out past $500 million is plausible on the domestic front (that would be a multiplier of at least 2.7), and another $500 million abroad would be a drop of around $58 million from the original after excluding the two MIA markets. Can it become the year's third film to make it past $1 billion worldwide despite China and Russia, which made up around $124 million of the first film's $682 million international box office, being out of play? It may be tough, but it's not impossible. Overall, the global cume comes to $330 million.



The sequel opened to $150 million internationally, which Disney reports is 4% ahead of the first film when comparing like for likes at current exchange rates. Ionr to franchise norms, though not meeting the high bar set by the first Black Panther' s 96%.
