‘Wrinkle’ fails to dethrone ‘Panther’

T’Challa still rules the box office four weeks in, even with the fresh rivalry of another Walt Disney Studios release in “A Wrinkle in Time.” The Marvel and Disney phenomenon crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide this weekend and became the seventh highest grossing domestic release with $562 million. Not accounting for inflation, it’s now passed “The Dark Knight.”

With a marketplace still dominated by “Black Panther,” Disney faced some stiff competition from its own studio in launching Ava DuVernay’s adaption of “A Wrinkle in Time,” which opened in second place with $33.3 million from 3,980 locations.

Here are the Top 10 films in the US weekend box office.

1.“Black Panther,” $41.1 million ($100 million international).

2.“A Wrinkle in Time,” $33.3 million ($6.3 million international).

3.“The Strangers: Prey At Night,” $10.5 million ($140,000 international).
