Unsurprisingly, then, the movie has had a monumentally successful second weekend, grossing $108 million at the US box office alone.
Black Panther has been breaking records around the world, even outpacing the seismic Avengers at the box office.
With a total worldwide haul of $704 million, of which $400 million comes from the US, Black Panther should soon eclipse the $1 billion mark — box office analyst believing the blockbuster will surmount $900 million next weekend.
Black Panther also scored another record for a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, dropping just 46 per cent weekend-on-weekend.
