And Russia remains off-limits to Hollywood studio pics because of the war in Ukraine. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Disney notes that<em> Black Panther: Wakanda Forever<\/em> still scored the No. 12 MCU opening of all time internationally. Europe was strong overall, led by the U.K. ($15 million) and followed by France ($13.7 million). Among all markets, Mexico placed third with $12.8 million, followed by South Korea ($8.9 million) and Brazil ($7.1 million). South Korea came in well behind the launch of <em>Black Panther<\/em> due to a Halloween tragedy in Seoul, where numerous people were killed (Marvel\/Disney pulled all marketing in deference to the situation).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <strong>Time will tell<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>Wakanda Forever<\/em> received an A CinemaScore from audiences and strong exits on PostTrak. However, the first <em>Black Panther <\/em>earned a coveted A+ on its way to grossing north of $1.38 billion globally.  Disney and Marvel, of course, are counting on a long runway for <em>Wakanda Forever<\/em> throughout the Thanksgiving corridor and until fellow Disney tentpole <em>Avatar<\/em> opens on Dec. 16, but it\u2019s too early to say where the <em>Black Panther <\/em>sequel will ultimately land globally.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
