Black Panther Box Office Report Day 2: Ryan Coogler's Marvel Movie Rakes In Rs 15.71 Crore

Black Panther has taken the world by storm and India is equally hooked to it. As the Padmaavat fever decreases, the audience is now opting for this much- awaited Hollywood flick to spend on. While there are two big films like PadMan and Aiyaary standing tall at the ticket windows, Black Panther's magic has swooned away all the fans to the screens. On day 2, the Marvel movie collected Rs 6.65 crore taking up the totals to Rs 15.71 crore. Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted, "#BlackPanther witnessed decent growth on Day 2... Thu previews + Fri 5.60 cr, Sat 6.65 cr. Total: ₹ 12.25 cr Nett BOC… Gross BOC: ₹ 15.71 cr. India biz... Note: Hindi + English."

While most of them anticipated a big clash between the Akshay Kumar starrer and Sidharth Malhotra starrer, the superhero movie has turned out to be the obvious winner.

Black Panther actress Danai Gurira was quoted saying by National Public Radio, "When we were announced as the additional cast at Comic-Con, that was really amazing. But then the real moment hit — it was when that trailer came out. That's when the response was something we could never have imagined, quite honestly."

Well, the numbers are only of the Saturday and there are expectations that the flick will do much better on Sunday. This also makes us wonder what will be the performances of PadMan and Aiyaary during the weekend, looking at the average review that they got. Black Panther is directed by Ryan Coogler and financed by Kevin Feige and stars Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan,  Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira  and Martin Freeman in the lead. Which is your favourite moment from this superhero film?
