Domestically, it's out-performing Thor: Love & Thunder in its second week with around $50mil, and it's performing almost the same as Multiverse of Madness. But all of that is absolutely blacked out by the shadow from the original Black Panther, which at this point in its run was sitting at $403mil. Domestically.If Wakanda continues to perform along the lines of Multiverse, it should end up around the $900m mark at the end of its run. Don't forget, we've got a holiday or two, which will definitely help its performance. Until Avatar comes along. Maybe?But the real winner has been Smile which has been a small runaway success in its own right, still clinging onto the top-10 after 8 weeks, with a BO-performance about 12,5 times its production budget, making it one of the most profitable movies of the year, I think. (Maverick "only" made 8,7 times its production budget)No streaming charts this week. I've got to run.
