Wouldn't the box forever be outside the black hole... as in just on the surface as it would need to exceed the speed of light in order to actually enter the event horizon?...or is that our of date knowledge?

You need to supercede the speed of light to exit the singularity, not enter it. Now we would see an image of the box entering the black hole on its "surface" until that faded, but the box itself would still very much enter the event horizon and be destroyed.

Not only does your explanation match my understanding, but your username suggests you know this stuff.
