Highest New Movie This Weekend
As is the trend in cinemas in the modern era, with a new Marvel and Disney movie there is a new box office number 1 and it is a mjor even for the week of release.
With the release of the Black Panther sequel we get the first movie in the series since the passing of its star Chadwick Boseman which the movie deal with in the opening act of the film.
The movie makes its debut with a fantastic £13 Million debut weekend, although this is lower than the £17 Million Black Panther took on its debut in 2018.
In comparison to Black Adam which this film replaces at the top, that movie took £5.6 Million on its debut, in comparison to the last MCU movie, Thor: Love and Thunder which was also a sequel albeit the fourth in the series, that took £12.2 Million, so generally in the same ballpark.
The movie is also responsible for nearly 80% of the total of this weekends top 15 movies.
The Black Panther series, as well as Marvel in general, has a very strong fanbase who will keep this on the box office until the end of the year.
