Black Widow is headed to the best opening weekend for any movie since the pandemic began. After hauling in a pandemic record $13.2 million in preview night showings on Thursday, Black Widow earned $39.5 million on Friday. That puts the first Marvel Studios theatrical released in two years on track to earn $89 million in its first three days at the box office despite simultaneous debuting to stream at home via Disney+’s Premier Access option. That’ll be enough for Black Widow to surpass the previous pandemic record of $70 million set by F9 only two weeks ago.
