Check out the chart below for updated numbers through the MCU's latest release, Black Panther, in comparison to the opening weekends, both adjusted and unadjusted, of each Marvel film so far, as well as their worldwide box office totals. We've also taken a look, where applicable, at a film's percentage increase or decrease over its direct predecessor (rounded to the nearest whole percentage). And then read on for more analysis of all of Marvel's 2017 releases so far.Numbers via Box Office Mojo Black Panther earned the fifth-highest opening weekend box office of any film domestically released, also becoming only the fifth film to ever debut with over $200 million in its opening weekend. That haul beat out estimates that originally pegged the film at a still-impressive $192 million opening weekend. Continuing its success, Black Panther looks to make about $235 million for the four-day holiday weekend, which would give it the third-highest four-day gross ever. The only films to beat it would be Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: The Last Jedi.Black Panther received an A+ CinemaScore , making it and The Avengers the only two MCU films to earn such a high score from moviegoers. The film cost an estimated $200 million to produce and had the MCU's second best preview night box office . Check out IGN's Black Panther review for our thoughts on why it "delivers the goods as an adventure film, a political statement, and a cultural celebration."Thor: Ragnarok debuted at the top of the box office with an estimated $121 million domestic opening weekend. The fourth. biggest opening of 2017, the third Thor film also ranks as the biggest debut of the Thor-centric films.Rangarok's opening is a 41 percent jump over Thor: The Dark World's debut, which puts its increase in line with Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Iron Man 3. If its haul holds, Rangarok will have had the seventh-highest opening weekend for an MCU movie yet, adjusted and unadjusted for inflation.The film, of course, has a ways to go in its worldwide total to match the bulk of the MCU, though it has already overtaken Captain America: The First Avenger and The Incredible Hulk's respective worldwide totals. It's also only about $22 million within range of the first Thor's worldwide cume, a number it should eclipse in the coming days, and it will likely similarly overcome Thor: The Dark World's $644.6 million worldwide total.For more on the film, check out IGN's Thor: Ragnarok review — and if you've already watched the film. check out IGN's spoilercast below.The opening weekend haul for Vol. 2 makes it the fifth highest debut for any MCU movie ever, unadjusted or adjusted for inflation. Iron Man 2 comes close when adjusted, and should Vol. 2's final opening numbers be adjusted down significantly enough, the Tony Stark sequel could beat it in that regard. Four MCU films are also in the list of the highest domestic opening weekend box offices of all time . Guardians currently ranks as the 17th biggest domestic debut on that list, unadjusted for inflation.Of any first-to-second film increased opening numbers, however, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has the greatest percentage increase over its predecessor — 54 percent. That number pales in comparison to the jump from Captain America: The Winder Soldier to Captain America: Civil War, but considering that third film's marketing as an MCU ensemble, with Iron Man and the rest of the Avengers heavily featured in its marketing, Civil War's jump will likely be an anomaly for the MCU overall.After two weekends in international release and one domestically, Vol. 2 has already surpassed the worldwide cumes of Captain America: The First Avengers and The Incredible Hulk.For more on James Gunn's sequel, check out IGN's collection of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Easter eggs, references, and more , IGN's explanation of Vol. 2's five post-credits scenes , and our Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 review Spider-Man: Homecoming has debuted at the top of the box office , and our previous MCU chart below has been updated to showcase how the latest Spider-Man film stacks up to the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
