Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hit another major milestone at the domestic box office. The Marvel sequel is poised to win its fourth weekend in a row with around $15 million spent at the ticket booth. As that massive $400 million total looms in the background, it probably won’t get there by Sunday. However, this pretty much assures Wakanda Forever will get there and climb to not only the upper-echelon of Phase 4 movies, but the entire MCU. That $700 million global mark is actually going to be passed this week. In that achievement, Ryan Coogler’s emotional film passes the likes of Iron Man 2, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Thor: The Dark World and Doctor Strange on the Marvel ladder. A ton of digital ink has been spilled about MCU fatigue and the viability of these projects as the pandemic continues on. But, both Spider-Man: No Way Home and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever show that Marvel still has the ability to hit it out of the park. All of the excitement will only raise as Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 lead-off next year.
