Disney-Marvel\u2019s \u201cBlack Panther\u201d has maintained its momentum at the domestic box office, winning its fifth consecutive weekend with $27 million from 3,834 locations.<\/p>\n
Alicia Vikander\u2019s \u201cTomb Raider\u201d finished second in its opening weekend in line with expectations with $23.5 million from 3,854 sites for Warner Bros. and MGM. Lionsgate-Roadside Attractions\u2019 faith-based drama \u201cI Can Only Imagine\u201d outperformed forecasts with $17.1 million at 1,629 venues.<\/p>\n
Disney\u2019s second weekend of time-travel adventure \u201cA Wrinkle in Time\u201d followed in fourth with $16.6 million at 3,980 locations, lifting its 10-day total to $61.1 million. Fox\u2019s launch of gay teen comedy-drama \u201cLove, Simon\u201d took fifth with $11.5 million at 2,402 venues.<\/p>\n
\u201cBlack Panther\u201d has become only the seventh title to pass the $600 million milestone at the North American box office, and is the second-fastest film to do so. It\u2019s the fourth-highest fifth weekend of all time, and the first time a film has held the top spot for five weekends in a row since 2009\u2019s \u201cAvatar.\u201d<\/p>\n
The overall box office took in about $130 million, down 50 percent from the same weekend last year when Disney\u2019s \u201cBeauty and the Beast\u201d opened with $174.5 million. Thanks to \u201cBlack Panther,\u201d the year-to-date box office is up 2 percent over the same period a year ago at $2.5 billion, according to comScore.<\/p>\n
