#BOXOFFICE: “BLACK PANTHER” STILL MUCH THE BEST

BLACK PANTHER is triumphant a fifth straight week at the Box Office, taking-in $28.5 million from 3,834 theatres for Marvel/Disney. In its domestic run, the Blockbuster has made an outstanding $606 million over five weeks.

TOMB RAIDER makes a courageous challenge but only can muster $23.5 million from 3,854 theatres for Warner Bros., good enough for a close second and on any other weekend perhaps good enough for top spot. It gets a 50% on the Tomatometer and a B CinemaScore.

A WRINKLE IN TIME places third with $17 million in its second week out, a total $60.5 million for Disney thus far in North America.

In fourth with $15.1 million its debut from 1,629 theatres for Lionsgate Films, is Christian Rock Movie I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, starring Dennis Quaid. It gets 60% on the Tomatometer and an A+ CinemaScore.

LOVE, SIMON debuts in fifth spot with $11.7 million for 20th Century Fox from 2,402 theatres. The Greg Berlanti Teen Comedy starring Nick Robinson, gets a 91% on the Tomatometer and an A+ CinemaScore from Audiences.

DEATH WISH rounds-out the Top Ten with $3.4 million. It has made $30 million over three weeks for eOne Films/MGM.
