If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the US...
It would be the first film released before May to take that crown in over 40 years - either since 1974 (when either Blazing Saddles or Towering Inferno were the #1 movie of the year - they're within $3 million of each other and don't specify how much of those were from re-releases for either movie), or 1972 (when The Godfather, a March release, was unquestionably #1).
I know a lot of people are still thinking Infinity Wars takes the #1 slot for the year, but I'm getting deja vu of previous years where we were dead certain of something being #1 for the year, only to be proven wrong by some surprise (including The Avengers out-grossing Dark Knight Rises, and Jurassic World out-grossing Avengers 2....).

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
Speaking of year-end domestic crowns, here's a breakdown of the number of movies to hold the crown released in which months, since 1975...
December - 10 (including the last four years) May - 10 November - 8 June - 7 July - 7 All other movies - 0

TDKR would have easily defeated avengers if it had 3d and no mass murder

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
Spidey 1 and Attack of the Clones is another good example.

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
Yeah, I don't think Infinity War opens much bigger than Black Panther, and its legs should be less than a 2.5X multiple, while Black Panther's should be bigger. It will be close, but I give the edge to Black Panther.

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
As crazy as it is to imagine this definitely has a chance of happening. Both might be very close in the end, but I do expect Black Panther to have the better legs of the two.

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
There is a certain possibility but I feel that IW will do even bigger than BP over OW which would be enough for it to get #1.

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
Yep that's true but as I mentioned else where movies attracting black crowd tend to be frontloaded which could be the deciding factor here

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
It definitely could now that it's OW is over $200m. Hope not, though.

It is unbecoming to be this dead set against a film before having seen it.

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
Yeah looking more as more likely for BP to cross $600m now which isn't a sure thing for IW.

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
Yep, $600M+ is looking really good for BP right now and that is far from a lock for IW. Still nothing wrong with being the number 2 film of the year, especially if your Disney/Marvel.

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
Now it will give every film for the rest of the year something to aim at. If IW doesn't do it, the chances of another film doing it are slim.

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
With DP's legs, BP gets to $578m and that would in itself will be a mighty challenge to overtake for IW.

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
Tracking from Variety:
Black Panther” could take in as much as $100 million during the upcoming Feb. 23-25 weekend and it’s likely to lead during the March 2-4 frame, when Jennifer Lawrence’s “Red Sparrow” is pegged to open in the $18 million-$25 million range for Fox, while MGM’s “Death Wish” should come in with $15 million-$20 million.
Initial tracking released this week for “A Wrinkle in Time” shows a range of $34 million-$37 million — hardly a blockbuster number at the moment, though those figures can shift significantly by the time the film opens. But that may be enough to beat “Black Panther,” which will eventually have to start slowing down its record-breaking pace.
Would expect WIT to go over $40m and maybe $50m.
Hopefully Sparrow can go above $25m and DW over $20m.

Looks like this is just about certain now unless IW can amass 600m+ in it's first 3 weeks

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
I would not rule anything out with IW, but BP did well enough even if it ends the year as #2.

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
^ I agree but even with $250m OW for IW I see it doing $700m total MAX which is also currently the max for BP. I believe it could get close to the actuals in the end.

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
Never Say Never obviously but I will be shocked if anything out-grosses Black Panther for the rest of this year.

Re: If Black Panther were to remain #1 for the year in the U
A month later and BP looks to finish with 690-700. 99% certain it will now it stay #1
