Los Angeles, November 9 - Marvel Studios' highly-anticipated superhero sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is set to take a huge opening at the domestic (North America) as well as overseas box office. In North America, the movie will open in approx. 4300 theaters.

The sequel to director Ryan Coogler's 2018's film has already scored $45 million in advance sales in the US, and by the time it hit screens, the advance booking is expected to reach $60 million - $65 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.



As of Sunday, "Wakanda Forever's" advance ticket sales in the U.S. stood at $45 million, which is more than "Thor: Love and Thunder" but behind "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness", as per THR. The first Black Panther film collected $55 million in advance sales and its successor is likely to top that with ease.

"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" is tracking to earn around $360 million globally in its opening weekend. In North America, the projection for the opening weekend is around $185 million while the overseas projection is approx. $180 million, cumulative suggesting a blockbuster start.

Meanwhile, "Wakanda Forever" is also being adored by the critics who were heavily criticized for the recently released DCEU flick "Black Adam". "Black Panther 2's" critics' score currently stands at 88% from 128 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. It is, however, low compared to its predecessor which scored 96% score.

The sequel's journey to the big screen endured its own tragedy when Chadwick Boseman, who played the titular role of T'Challa/Black Panther in the 2018 film, died of colon cancer in August 2020. Wakanda Forever's cast includes Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong'o, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Danai Gurira, Florence Kasumba, and Martin Freeman, as well as Marvel newcomer Tenoch Huerta as Namor and Dominique Thorne as the hero Riri Williams.
