Black Panther leads second slowest weekend of the year

The numbers are starting to roll in for this second week of December and they’re a little worse than expected. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever should easily take first place with an estimated weekend of $11 million based on a Friday of $2.8 million. The film has surpassed the $400 million mark and is currently 5% ahead of that Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness simultaneously in their respective runs.

Places three to five seem to be remnants strange world ($3.6 million forecast weekend); The menu ($2.8 million forecast weekend) and dedication ($1.9 million forecast weekend). These all represent less than 30% drops per title.

Meanwhile, the expansion of Spoiler alert should crack the top ten with an estimated $700,000 win over the weekend after a $230,000 Friday. During Sam Mendes’ realm of light appears to be another adult bombshell, grossing less than $200,000 across 110 screens.
