Ryan Coogler's Black Panther has become the highest-grossing superhero film of all time in the United States.
The Disney and Marvel release achieved the milestone on Saturday after passing up fellow Marvel title The Avengers, which grossed $623.4 million in 2012. To boot, Black Panther is only one of seven films to ever earn $600 million or more domestically (it currently ranks No. 6 on the list).
Black Panther has shattered numerous milestones since opening in theaters on Feb. 16.
Globally, the film has earned north of $1.2 billion to date. By the end of Sunday, it will leap past Iron Man 3 ($1.214 billion) to become the third-biggest comic book adaptation behind The Avengers ($1.5 billion) and Avengers: Age of Ultron ($1.4 billion).
The movie, which cost $200 million to make before marketing, was a bold move on the part of Disney and Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige.
Black Panther is unprecedented in being a big-budget studio tentpole featuring a virtually all-black cast. Chadwick Boseman stars as T'Challa/Black Panther alongside Lupita Nyong'o, Michael B. Jordan, Danai Gurira, Daniel Kaluuya, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Angela Bassett, Forest Whitaker and Andy Serkis.
We don't expect the 'Black Panther' hype to die down anytime soon -- especially considering T'Challa will be appearing again next month when Avengers: Infinity War hits theaters.
LOVE LOVE LOVE how this movie honored WOMEN. As it was said, the women were not strong because they were 'angry' or strong because they were 'hurt' they were STRONG BECAUSE THEY WERE STRONG :)The Dora Miliage were EVERYTHING!!!
