RE:RE:RE:RE:Black Panther D-Box selling out for weekend. Even if the industry is wildly off, and Black Panther comes in between $130M-$150M (which many aren’t expecting), that’s indeed a great start for this $200M Marvel production considering that Deadpool is the only February release to open north of $100M for February, holding the month and the President’s Day holiday four-day record of $152.1M. From the ComScore school calendar: 23% K-12 and 9% colleges are off on Friday which will respectively swell to 88% out and 34% out.
Black Panther‘s location count, more than 80% will have 3D, with 400-plus Imax screens in play, 660+ premium large format screens and 200+ D-Box locations. In addition Black Panther will be the first title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be converted to ScreenX and play in over 101 locations across eight countries including the U.S. That’s the 270-degree wraparound theater format that’s essentially today’s answer to Cinerama Dome.
