BLACK PANTHER is #1 with $108M (Million), the second biggest second weekend ever behind only THE FORCE AWAKENS, and a drop of just -46% vs. its record debut last week. The domestic total now stands at $400M, as the film will eclipse both CIVIL WAR and IRON MAN 3 to become the 2nd biggest Marvel film domestically, and make a play to unseat THE AVENGERS at number one.

GAME NIGHT opened at #2 with $16.6M domestic, and an early $21.8M worldwide with most international yet to debut. Produced for $37M plus marketing, this is a decent result which will depend on how well it holds next weekend, and how it plays overseas. Audience score of B+ shows that word of mouth is good. PETER RABBIT held on at #3 with $12.5M, a domestic total of $71.2M, with international yet to roll out on this Sony film. Produced for $50M plus marketing, this will definitely be profitable for the studio. ANNIHILATION opened at #4 with $11M, an okay start for this $40M film from Paramount given that the studio mitigated its costs by selling international rights to Netflix for an undisclosed sum.
