With the release of “Avatar: The Way of Water" looming, studios opted not to open any new films in wide release. That enabled Ryan Coogler's “Black Panther” sequel to further extend its box-office reign. “Wakanda Forever” grossed $11.1 million over the weekend, bringing its domestic total to $409.8 million and its worldwide haul to $767.8 million.

While many awards hopefuls have struggled to catch on in theaters, Darren Aronofsky's “The Whale," starring Brendan Fraser, got off to a strong start. The A24 release grossed $360,000 at six theaters for the year's best per-screen average.
