“Black Panther” is now among Fandango’s top 5 ticket pre-sellers of all time, the mobile ticketing company said on Thursday.
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and “Rogue One” top the list, with “Black Panther” coming in fourth place. Jennifer Lawrence’s “The Hunger Games” rounds out the list.

“Black Panther” opens in previews on Thursday night and is projected to open to at least $150 million in its four-day holiday opening weekend. However,ย “Black Panther” is expected to post an opening that would rank in the top 10 for superhero films, and the question arises whether it will beat the February box office record held by “Deadpool” two years ago when it opened to $152 million.
