‘Black Panther’ advanced ticket sales surpass ‘Batman v Superman’ to become the best of all superhero movies

Fandango reports that Black Panther is now outpacing Batman v Superman to become the top advanced ticket seller of any superhero movie. There was never any doubt Black Panther would be a hit. It was just a matter of how big the box office would be and the estimates just keep going up.

Black Panther had the best first day of advanced ticket sales in Marvel Studios history earlier this month. The first box office tracking pointed to an opening weekend between $100M and $120M. That would be an outstanding result, but those estimates are feeling like the floor, not the ceiling.
