Disney and Marvel’s “Black Widow” captured a massive $80 million in its debut weekend, crushing the benchmark for the biggest opening weekend since the pandemic and the largest since Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in Dec. 2019.
Additionally, the film earned $78 million at the international box office and $60 million on Disney Premier+ Access for a global start north of $215 million. It’s unprecedented for a studio to announce a premium VOD or streaming number for a film’s opening weekend, and could foreshadow practices to come.
