AMC CEO Adam Aron: ‘Wakanda Forever’ second biggest hit only to ‘Top Gun: Maverick’<\/h2>\n

AMC Entertainment president and CEO Adam Aron discusses the potential for ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ and the Christmas movie season on ‘The Claman Countdown.’<\/p>\n

It was a big weekend at the box office for "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," raking in more than $180 million in ticket sales across the United States and Canada, per The Walt Disney Co.<\/p>\n

The film was viewed in more than 4,396 theaters across North America, bringing in $84 million on its opening day.<\/p>\n

The highly-anticipated sequel film to Marvel Studio's "Black Panther" from 2018 brought in an additional $150 million from 50 territories, bringing the total earnings to $330 million.<\/p>\n

It was the second-biggest opening of 2022, only falling short to "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," another Marvel production, released in May.<\/p>\n

Lupita Nyong'o, Michael B. Jordan and Angela Bassett are among the actors leading the ensemble cast.<\/p>\n

Despite the successful numbers, "Wakanda Forever" did not top the original film, which brought in $1.4 billion worldwide, making it one of the highest grossing films of all time and a cultural phenomenon. <\/p>\n

Before numbers had been calculated, AMC CEO Adam Aron told Fox Business, "Movie-going in the last couple of months was light," but with the Christmas season upon us, things should become more rampant.<\/p>\n

"Our advanced bookings for ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ are like frothy; they are robust. It's going to be a monstrous hit," he said.<\/p>\n
