Even with the release of fellow blockbuster Tomb Raider and A Wrinkle in Time entering its second weekend, Black Panther expected to continue performing strongly this weekend, and by the time Black Panther’s theatrical run is ultimately finished, there’s a distinct chance it could move higher up on the list, pushing past Return of the King and maybe even Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
If it did, I suspect that Black Panther would be lower down on the list and not part of the Top 20.
At the time of this writing, and as revealed by Box Office Mojo, Black Panther’s haul of approximately $1.122 billion worldwide has made it the 18th highest grossing movie ever, soaring past Transformers: Age of Extinction and Skyfall, and sitting just below The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
Regardless, this an impressive achievement, but the fun might not stop there.
