It had to happen sometime.
After 22 days at number 1, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” has been knocked off its perch at number 1 at the box office.
On Friday night, “Violent Night,” a tongue in cheek Christmas horror film starring “Stranger Things” star David Harbour, surpassed “Wakanda” by about $450,000. In the film, Harbour plays a deranged Santa. Also featured as John Leguizamo and Beverly D’Angelo, who’s getting a lot of praise. A big name in the 80s, D’Angelo also has twins with actor Al Pacino.
Even with this demotion. “Wakanda” will hit $400 million early this coming week. Its success is based mostly on having no competition for the last three weeks.
