BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER rules the Box Office a second straight week with $66 million from 4,396 theatres for Disney. This brings its two week tally to $290 million already in North America.
Second placing goes to a debuting THE CHOSEN: SEASON 3 Episodes 1&2, a faith-based release opening with $10 million from 2,012 theatres for Fathom Events/Angel Studios. The Series centers on the life and ministry of Jesus.
Third is THE MENU with $8.8 million from 3,211 theatres for Searchlight Pictures. The TIFF ’22 selection starring Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy gets 90% on the Tomatometer.

BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER bows with a whopping $180 million in its opening from 4,396 theatres for Disney. It gets a stellar 96% on the Tomatometer, and though it doesn’t quite best the $202 million its predecessor made in 2018 in its debut, this still places it in in the Top Ten for MCU openings, the record still held by 2019’s Avengers: Endgame with $357 million. This also sets a record for highest November opening in North America, held previously by THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE with $158 million.
In second is BLACK ADAM, which is dethroned after a three-week reign with $10 million from 3,603 theatres for Warner Bros. Its domestic run now is brought to $152 million.
Third is TICKET TO PARADISE with $6.9 million from 3,633 theatres for Universal Pictures, and a total $56.7 million in its fourth weekend.
LYLE, LYLE CROCODILE lands in fourth with $3.3 million, its tally now at $40.9 million for Sony Pictures.
In fifth is the resilient SMILE with $1.9 million for Paramount Pictures, a total $102.7 million to date here in North America.
For a third straight weekend, BLACK ADAM proves too tough to beat, taking the #1 spot yet again with $15 million from 4,402 theatres for Warner Bros. In its domestic run so far, it has earned $134 million.
Debuting in second is ONCE PIECE FILM: RED for Crunchyroll/Sony Pictures, with $9.5 million from 2,400 theatres. The Animated Feature gets a stellar 95% on the Tomatometer from Critics.
Third is TICKET TO PARADISE with $7.2 million from 3,692 theatres for Universal Pictures, a tally of $45.5 million in its run to date. That’s the power of Julia Roberts and George Clooney in a market missing its Rom-Coms!
Fourth is the resilient SMILE with $3.4 million from 3,221 theatres for Paramount Pictures, a total $98.7 million to date.
Rounding things out is PREY FOR THE DEVIL with $3.3 million from 2,980 theatres for Cineplex Pictures/Lionsgate. It has made $13 million over two weekends.
BLACK ADAM continues to thrive in its second week of release, holding onto top spot at the Box Office again with $30.4 million from 4,402 theatres for Warner Bros. Over two weekends, it has grossed $113.4 million.
Second spot goes to TICKET TO PARADISE with $10.1 million from 3,543 theatres for Universal Pictures, a two weekend tally of $32.6 million for Universal Pictures.
Third is PREY FOR THE DEVIL with $7.8 million from 2,980 theatres in its debut for Lionsgate Films/Cineplex Pictures. The Horror fromt he same Director who brought us The Last Exorcist, gets 17% on the Tomatometer.
In fourth we have SMILE which is $6.6 million for Paramount Pictures. It has had an impressive run catering to Horror fans and edges so close to the $100 million-mark.
Fifth is HALLOWEEN ENDS with $4.4 million for Universal Pictures, a total run of $60.9 million.
BLACK ADAM solidifies Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson‘s standing as a huge megastar on the big screen, debuting at #1 this weekend across North American theatres with $60 million from 4,402 theatres for Warner Bros. While Critics weren’t in love with this latest DC Comics adventure, giving it a 41% on the Tomatometer, this did not deter Moviegoers from helping launch what looks to be the beginning of a new Franchise.
Second spot goes to TICKET TO PARADISE, debuting with $16 million for Universal Pictures, from 3,543 theatres. Critics gave this Rom-Com headlined by A-List Co-Stars George Clooney and Julia Roberts, a mixed 55% on the Tomatometer.
Third is SMILE, still going strong with $8.5 million from 3,296 theatres for Paramount Pictures, now at a tally of $84.5 million over four weeks. Very impressive considering this was made for only $17 million.
In fourth we have HALLOWEEN ENDS with $8 million from 3,901 theatres. Over two weekends it has grossed $54.1 million for Universal Pictures.
LYLE, LYLE CROCODILE rounds this all out with $4.4 million for Sony Pictures, a total $28.9 million over three weekends.
