Marvel superhero film Black Panther has enjoyed the biggest opening day of 2018 so far at the UK and Irish box office.
Ryan Coogler’s hotly anticipated film, which features an almost entirely black cast, pulled in £2.67m on its opening day on 13 February, Disney said, delivering the highest-grossing single day at the UK box office this year.
This bests the opening days of fellow Marvel Studios offerings Thor: Ragnarok and Doctor Strange, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
Rapper Kendrick Lamar produced and curated the soundtrack to the Marvel movie.
