Black Panther Wakanda Forever: 2nd Place In Box Office

 "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" will continue to dominate the box office, surpassing fresh studio releases "The Menu" and, "She Said". The second Friday of Marvel's sequel saw an extra $17.9 million in sales, which is a 79% decrease from the first day's take. The second weekend of "Wakanda Forever" is expected to bring in between $65 million and $70 million, which would represent a significant but typical (for a superhero movie) second-weekend decrease of over 60%. Behind only Marvel's own "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," "Wakanda Forever" had the second-largest domestic opening of the year with a $181 million domestic debut.

The movie, which is currently the seventh-highest-grossing movie in North America, hopes to surpass $287 million this weekend, but it still expects to earn a large sum at the box office over the Thanksgiving holiday next weekend. "The Menu" from Searchlight Pictures aims to mimic the box office success of recent genre movies like "Barbarian." It opened $3.6 million from 3,211 locations, with the hope of achieving $9 million or so over the course of its first weekend. “The Menu” entered with flying reviews and a stunning cast like Anya-Taylor Joy, Nicholas Hoult, and Ralph Fiennes.

"She Said" movie's underwhelming box office results and the similar result in other similar genres Universal still hopes that it will become critics’ choice. With a $1.115 million Friday take, Dwayne Johnson's DC antihero movie "Black Adam" appears to take fourth place on the domestic charts. Through Sunday, the Warner Bros. release should raise its domestic cume to a middling $156 million.
