The superhero film is set to bring in $40 million at the domestic box office this weekend as it enters its fourth week of release. Black Panther opened in its final foreign territory this weekend &#8211; China &#8211; where it earned $50 million on just Friday and today. That total helped to push the film&#8217;s overall, worldwide box office past $1 billion. <strong>Black Panther<\/strong> is now the 33rd film to have reached that milestone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wrinkle In Time<\/strong>&#8216;s weak showing had to be a disappointment to Disney, who had invested between $100 and $120 million in the film&#8217;s production. Adding in the film&#8217;s advertising costs, it needs to clear $400 million at the box office in order to clear a profit for the studio. The film has a rather harsh 42% Rotten Tomatoes score but a more positive B CinemaScore from audiences who saw the film Friday evening. If it is going to make a profit for Disney it has a long road ahead of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">The anticipated adaption of the classic young adult novel is not lighting up the box office.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2018\/03\/10\/wrinkle-in-time-struggles-towards-33-million-opening-weekend-black-panther-crosses-billion-dollar-mark\/\" title=\"WRINKLE IN TIME Struggles Towards $33 Million Opening Weekend; BLACK PANTHER Crosses Billion Dollar Mark\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43225,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[8183,1534],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-43224","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-a-wrinkle-in-time","9":"tag-black-panther"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43224"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43224\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43225"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43224"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=43224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
