Marvel`s `Black Panther: Wakanda Forever` lorded over the box office this weekend, earning USD 180 million in North America and providing a much-needed lift to beleaguered cinemas, reports `Variety`. The sequel demolished the record for a November opening, soaring past the previous high-water mark of USD 158 million set by 2013`s `Hunger Games: Catching Fire`. Globally, the superhero adventure netted a monstrously good USD 330 million, with USD 150 million of that figure coming from 55 overseas markets, `Variety` adds.
