With very little in the way of competition (at least until Avatar: The Way of Water next month), Marvel Studios' final Phase 4 theatrical release, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, continues to dominate the box office.
According to the latest update, Ryan Coogler's epic sequel took in $2.21 million on Monday for a domestic total of $369.68M. This means the movie has now passed The Batman and Minions: The Rise of Gru to become the 4th highest-grossing release of 2022 in North America.
Wakanda Forever's next worldwide milestone is $700M, but can it hope to match its predecessor's mighty $1 billion+ global haul? It's difficult to say - especially with James Cameron's sci-fi sequel looming - but a lot of analysts seem to feel somewhere around the $800M - $850M mark is a more realistic outcome.

In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira), and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba), fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death. As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. Introducing Tenoch Huerta as Namor, king of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena, and Alex Livanalli.
