Marvel’s ‘Black Widow’, the highly anticipated solo outing for veteran Avenger Natasha Romanoff, opened in first place this weekend with $80 million (Dh293.8 million) in US and Canadian ticket sales.
The result is the largest North American box office opening since the pandemic began more than a year ago.
The film, which premiered simultaneously in theatres and on Disney+ premier access, earned upward of $215 million globally with more than $60 million of those revenues coming from Disney+ alone.
The simultaneous streaming release available for about $30 represents one of the biggest tests yet of consumers’ willingness to visit a theatre for a movie they could be watching at home.
