Update:

New estimates have Black Panther making just shy of $202 million for the three-day weekend, with a four-day holiday haul of about $235 million.

While previous estimates had Black Panther making under $200 million in its opening weekend, BoxOfficeMojo reports an estimated three-day weekend haul of $201,797,000. That would make Black Panther only the fifth movie to ever open over $200 million domestically. The holiday weekend looks to add even more to its early box office success. The estimated $235 million four-day haul would make Black Panther the third-highest ever four-day gross, behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi.Original story follows:
