November 11 was Armistice Day in France and the national holliday proved fruitful for the film, which sold more than 400,000 tickets on that day alone followed by similar totals for Saturday and Sunday. However, the long holiday weekend in France helped to drive audiences en masse to theatres. It opened far ahead of other new titles on its first day – local French-language film Clovis Cornillac’s Colors Of Fire (Gaumont) with 43,809 tickets sold and Armageddon Time (Universal Pictures International France) with 17,000 tickets sold in first 24 hours on 307 copies – but didn’t set any records. The film gained rapid momentum through the long French holiday weekend. The film made $2.2m on its opening day, the fourth-highest total of 2022 to date behind Minions 2: Rise Of Gru (Universal), Doctor Strange: In The Multiverse Of Madness (Disney) and Top Gun: Maverick (Paramount). It catapulted to the top of the box office that day, selling 243,470 tickets, a 36% jump from ticket sales over the first Black Panther (178,202 admissions). The debut week of November 9-15 has knocked Top Gun: Maverick (1.5 million admissions) and Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness (1.4 million tickets) off the 2022 top slots.ĭespite threats from the studio to pull the film from French theatres ahead of its release to protest France’s windowing laws, Disney opted to launch the film as planned on Wednesday November 9. Disney’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has dominated the French box office on its first week of release, grossing €15.1m ($15.6m) since opening on November 9 and garnering 1.8 million admissions to become the biggest opener in France this year.
