The superhero sequel opened to a huge $180 million at the domestic box office to hunt down the biggest November opening of all time and the second-biggest launch of 2022 so far behind fellow Marvel Studios’ pic Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness ($187.4 million). And it easily wrested the weekend crown from DC superhero pic Black Adam, now in its fourth weekend.

Overseas, the Marvel and Disney tentpole debuted to $150 million for a global start of $330 million (that’s as much as DC’s Black Adam earned in its first three weeks). Europe was strong overall, led by the U.K. ($15 million) and followed by France ($13.7 million). Among all markets, Mexico placed third with $12.8 million, followed by South Korea ($8.9 million) and Brazil ($7.1 million). Wakanda Forever also opened scored the highest opening in history In Nigeria, where the film’s African premiere was held.

While Wakanda Forever didn’t match the $202 million domestic debut of Coogler’s Black Panther in 2018, it is still doing formidable business and ranks No. 13 on the all-time list of domestic launches (releases from Disney and Marvel now account for all but one of the 13), according to Comscore. The sequel’s arrival on the marquee couldn’t have been more welcome after a tough fall for theater owners.

Heading into the weekend, Wakanda Forever was tracking to debut in the $175 million range. Until now, the biggest November opening belonged to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire ($158 million).

Black Panther 2, playing in 4,396 theaters domestically, earned $84 million on Friday alone, one of the biggest opening days of all time and all but tying with fellow Marvel Studios title Avengers: Age of Ultron for No. 9 on the list, not adjusted for inflation. Friday’s haul included $28 million in Thursday evening previews. (Friday was Veteran’s Day.)

Coogler’s film received an A CinemaScore from audiences and strong exits on PostTrak. One difference: the first Black Panther earned a coveted A+. It played to an ethnically diverse audience, led by Black moviegoers (34 percent) and followed by Caucasians (31 percent), Latinos (21 percent) and Asian/Other (14 percent), according to PostTrak. It also played more evenly gender-wise than most superhero films, with females making up 45 percent of the audience.

In 2018, Black Panther was the first Hollywood studio tentpole to feature a predominantly Black cast and transformed into a cultural phenomenon on its way to earning more than $1.34 billion at the worldwide box office.

The sequel endured tragedy when Chadwick Boseman, who played the titular role of T’Challa/Black Panther in the 2018 film, died of colon cancer in August 2020. Wakanda Forever’s cast includes Angela Bassett, Lupita Nyong’o, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Danai Gurira, Florence Kasumba and Martin Freeman, as well as Marvel newcomer Tenoch Huerta as Namor and Dominique Thorne as the hero Riri Williams.

Wakanda Forever opened less than 11 percent behind the 2018 film.

“It’s an outstanding result. The first film represented such a major cultural milestone that its performance would have been challenging to follow even under normal circumstances,” says box office analyst Shawn Robbins. “This performance from a sequel almost five years later speaks to the trust audiences have in Ryan Coogler, Marvel and the entire creative team to continue the story in a respectful way after Chadwick Boseman’s tragic passing. It’s an opportunity for everyone to say goodbye to him together as the franchise moves forward with his legacy at the heart of it.”

Among superhero movies released in the pandemic era, Sony and Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home opened to $260.1 million in December 2021. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness followed in May with $187.4 million, while Thor: Love and Thunder scored $144.2 million in July. In March 2022, DC and Warner Bros.’ The Batman flew to $134 million in its launch. More recently, DC’s Black Adam, starring Dwayne Johnson in his first live-action superhero role, opened to a more subdued $67 million domestically.

This weekend’s other high-profile opening is Steven Spielberg’s semi-autobiographical tale and Oscar contender The Fabelmans, which is getting a slow platform release, much as a specialty film does, in order to build word of mouth.

The Universal and Amblin Entertainment movie, opening in four theaters in New York and Los Angeles, scored a strong location average of $40,000, one of the best of the year behind Everything Everywhere All at Once and The Banshees of Inisherin. Fabelmans received an A CinemaScore and boasts a 95 percent critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes.

“With The Fabelmans, Steven Spielberg has crafted one of his most personal stories yet, an incredible universal coming-of-age story that clearly resonated with audiences this weekend,” said Jim Orr, president of domestic theatrical distribution for Universal Pictures.

Back on the top 10 chart, Black Adam — as expected — took a big hit as Black Panther opened. The Dwayne Johnson pic placed second with $8.6 million for a domestic tally of $151.1 million. Overseas, it cleared the $200 million to finish Sunday with a worldwide total of $352.2 million.

Universal’s romantic comedy Ticket to Paradise continued to hold well, falling only 29 percent to $6.1 million for a domestic cume of $56.5 million and $150 million worldwide.

Sony’s family pic Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile fell just 5 percent to $3.2 million for a muted domestic tally of $40.8 million and $75.6 million worldwide.

Paramount’s blockbuster horror entry Smile rounded out the top five in North America with $2.3 million as it hit $210 million worldwide.

Among Oscar contenders, Banshees placed No. 7 with $1.7 million from 960 locations for a domestic total of $5.6 million.

MGM and UAR’s Till, coming in No. 9, saw its domestic total hit $8 million over the weekend.

Pablo’s acclaimed career set off in 1996 as a member of Dayton Family signed to a major deal with Relativity Records. The charting single “F.B.I.” peaked on Billboard 200 at #45. He then went on to collaborate with industry mixers and Hip Hop legends including Master P. ‘Down South Hustlers’ and 36 Mafia’s ‘Chapter II- World Domination’ reigned as 2 Gold albums. Soon after Pablo toured with Insane Clown Posse for a 50-state tour.

“I’ve been to prison, lost everything I had, lost my parents within a week apart, lost my brother, and ongoing life’s struggles forces you to keep pushing on. That’s what I do and intend to continue doing.”

As a solo artist, Pablo released his latest single/video “Tear Me Down” which has been creating a global frenzy. The track featuring T.Rell and Ziggy Zig Zag ranks at #60 on Top Independent Charts and #161 on Top Global Charts. Not giving himself any time to breathe, Pablo is also in the studio with multiplatinum producer Faided Beatz cooking up some new music, set to begin a summer tour with Gucci Mane’s artist Enchanting, and in the works to film The Dayton Family documentary Dope Dayton Ave.” Stay tuned for a heated summer and connect with Edurk Black Pablo below. “Big things are coming. I’m blessed and keep letting God drive the car.”

The acclaimed Dr. EnQi returns with yet another educational, must-read article. In this one, he breaks down The Enqi Cycle as well as melanin and water and how they power our cells. Read the full article below.

Fear and Stress are ancient bad guys that are associated with the Food system, Lack is their child. Love and Laughter are the ancient good guys and Abundance is their child. Knowing and Intuition are a way of living your life just as much as Fear of the Unknown is a way of living, the choice is yours however so too is the associated BIOCHEMISTRY NEUROCHEMISTRY that comes with each Choice.

Enqis Cycle or Water Melanin Cycle is being positioned as the Primary reaction sequence in biochemistry. If this is true this may be the most important discovery of the Century. Water and Melanin function as coupled crystal oscillators in a tesla coil or maybe it may be easier for you to see them as one super biological resonant circuit where the Coherent Domain in water functions as a pseudo capacitor and the melanin functions as a pseudo inductor. Sound and Mechanical waves were the primary sources of energy that early cellular water used to create free “electrons” for biochemistry.

WATER HAD TO CREATE ITS OWN CELLULAR ENERGY TO POWER BIOCHEMISTRY BEFORE ALL OF THE COMPLEX CELLULAR ARCHITECTURE. Sound was the only abundant source of energy for that job and the relationship of water to sound and sound to the development of proteins has been completely overlooked in WESTERN SCIENCE AND WESTERN PHILOSOPHY. That may be the biggest mistake ever made in science at least in terms of biology (LIVING BIOCHEMISTRY), we must realize that all life was built around that relationship of sound and water. The reason we mention the name Nikola Tesla is that he stood alone in his focus on developing science thru sound (scalar waves), so here I will loosely quote him discussing the “goofy” guys of his time “you may have won today BUT THE FUTURE IS MINE”. The future is our family!

You are definitely correct if you are thinking “If EnQi is right then all of our known biochemistry must shift”! The answers are in every textbook and article written on The Krebs Cycle, The Citric Acid Cycle, The Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle, and the Pentose Phosphate Pathway. All of the above have been written without the role of Melanin as an oversight or because of scientific racism, either way, THE BOOKS MUST BE RE-WRITTEN AND YOU ARE AT THE START OF THAT!

Eumelanin Pigment (Amorphous Carbon Protein Like Compound) gave cells an advantage in producing energy for the cell however, this increase ran by increasing the speed at which water molecules could separate and create spin. Hydrogen Gas and free electrons have gone unnoticed primarily because the ability of cells to harness this energy relies on Melanin and also because the internal conditions must be right to produce the energy as well as utilize this pathway. This energy system is unlike the FOOD (carbon bond chain) BASED a.t.p. production, where all that is required is food. This newly discovered system is actually hindered by food more specifically sugar or sweet carbohydrates, the system is even hindered by lacking peace of mind.

This factor of foodstuffs and stress to hinder the primary system combined with the “fluid” nature of melanin’s structure and black hole-like nature, have kept this ancient primary energy system well hidden until now. We believe this system may be stimulated or modulated by Beta Endorphin.

We based our understanding of the hierarchy not only on the Geometry of the Cell and the ability of Melanin to facilitate the Structure of Water into “cytoplasm” but also on the relationship of NAD. Melanin can literally feed and regulate the Mitochondria in the absence of “Food”.

Melanin has been demonstrated to have a 400% increase in ability to reduce NADH after being “charged” by Light including Ionizing Radiation. It is my guess that melanin is responsible for our cells “capturing” Mitochondria in the first place, I believe Melanin’s ability to feed Mitochondria directly is what made our cells a suitable home for our guest to fall in love with and never want to leave.

Cortisol has a negative effect on the EnQi Cycle so we theorize that stress in Anti EnQi Cycle and that Love is Pro EnQi Cycle. Love and Laughter seem to promote Beta Endorphin which in turn seems to activate Melanin just like Sunlight. We theorize that when you are studying a subject you really passionate about, playing with your children, having amazing sex, enjoying a great workout, or any other activity that you get wrapped up into that seems to make the time fly, you have activated the Enqi Cycle.

Cancer Research on Mitochondria must stop immediately and divert money to understanding the relationship of Melanin, Melanosomes, and Melanocytes to the function of Mitochondria and the homeostasis of the nucleus. Really the list of associated sciences that must change is too lengthy to put here!!! Just think mtDNA & nDNA depend on Melanin to function, WTF!!!! Melanin regulates the ENTIRE IMMUNE SYSTEM via NAD to NRF2 and all of the Anti Aging science that revolves around Sirtuins…. yeah Sirtuins are regulated via NAD. I want a Nobel Peace Prize for this work but I’ll settle for steady cash apps lol…

Keep this in mind if you wanna imagine the magnitude of Racism in science, NRF2 controls over 1000 genes turning on or off, if these are regulated by melanin in the cell can you imagine how many babies are born with defects, how many people are told they have a genetic disease that can’t be cured because science is so racist they will turn a blind eye to the controller of these genes.

Vitamin B3 is credited with being able to reverse age, change health, restore energy levels, etc… but it’s listed as an energy carrier this should’ve prompted people to wanna know what’s behind B3. Sidebar we use Purple Phaze for B3 and many many other melanogenic properties.

We further theorize that the well-known FORGOTTEN MEAL SYNDROME where you are so high energy, in such good spirits, and absorbed in what you are doing is simply because you are pulling energy from the Enqi Cycle. We surmise that this Forgotten Meal Syndrome is also a part of the Time Flys Syndrome where we lose track of time because we are so locked into what we are doing. Yes, we can and many of us have forgotten to eat and lost track of time due to stress, infection, depression, drugs, alcohol, etc… HOWEVER WE ALSO REMEMBER BEING CHILDREN AND PLAYING OUTSIDE, OR OUR FAVORITE GAME, OR AS ADULTS JUST LOCKED INTO THE PASSION OF SOMETHING WE LOVE…

LOSING TRACK OF TIME AND FORGETTING TO EAT IN THE LIGHT OF LOVE & LAUGHTER, IS OUR BODY’S ANCIENT ENERGY SYSTEM. THIS IS A LARGE PART OF OUR BODY’S ANCIENT HEALING SYSTEM.

Fear and Stress are ancient bad guys that are associated with the Food system, Lack is their child. Love and Laughter are the ancient good guys and Abundance is their child. Knowing and Intuition are a way of living your life just as much as Fear of the Unknown is a way of living, the choice is yours however so too is the associated BIOCHEMISTRY NEUROCHEMISTRY that comes with each Choice.

We want to also impress upon you that THE ENQI CYCLE is also the science behind how WORDS & THOUGHTS affect BLACK PEOPLE more than anyone else. We are more emotional because melanin controls our Reward and Emotional centers in the brain, water absorbs words and thoughts and then translates them into our Melanin system. This Advanced Pigment System makes us more vulnerable to sound and light as well as opioid, cocaine, and sugar addiction.
