The movie is now only behind Marvel’s Avengers for the highest grossing superhero movie in box office history and it may even surpass it in a few weeks, if the buzz stays strong.
Additionally, Black Panther is the 6th Disney movie to earn over a billion dollars at the box office.
It’s now the 7th superhero movie to gain over a billion dollars at the box office and after this weekend, it will be the 2nd highest grossing superhero film of all time, passing Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, which grossed over $530 million domestically.
Black Panther was expected to do well at the box office, but it has shattered all expectations since its release.
