It reportedly amassed Rs. 3.50 crore in India (nett) on Sunday, and its India collection now stands at Rs. 10.28cr, while worldwide is at a staggering Rs. 16.07cr.
'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever'
Keeping up with the tradition of Marvel releases, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever had an excellent start at the box office as it minted Rs. 12.5-13.5cr (nett) on Day 1 in India. Per India Today, the film has crossed the Rs. 50cr mark at the box office and the numbers are only expected to go up from here on. Ryan Coogler has helmed the venture.
