Black Panther Swims Past Titanic at the Domestic Box Office, Crosses the $1.3 Billion Mark Worldwide
The Wakandans sunk the colonizers on the massive Titanic!
Marvel’s superhero blockbuster Black Panther has surpassed James Cameron’s Titanic this weekend to claim the #3 spot on the all-time domestic box office chart (not adjusting for inflation) with its estimated $665.4 million in North America haul.
The Ryan Coogler-directed film — starring Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong’o, and Angela Bassett — now stands roughly $6 million ahead of the historical drama’s $659.4 million cumulative box office.
Black Panther remains the top-earning Marvel release in franchise history, towering over The Avengers‘ $623.4 million North American take by about $42 million and counting.
Upon making $202 million over its first three days in wide release, Black Panther registered the fifth biggest opening weekend of all time and the second largest for a Marvel title, slightly trailing the $207.4 million posted by The Avengers.
Internationally, the Marvel Studios movie has become the tenth highest grossing movie of all-time at the worldwide box office after passing $1.3 billion this weekend. That puts it just behind Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘s $1.33 billion and ahead of the $1.27 billion earned by Frozen. Its success has resulted in Disney owning half of the ten highest grossing movies of all-time.

Actor Michael B. Jordan flashed his That Awkward Moment co-stars Zac Efron and Miles Teller during the filming of the bromantic comedy.
Jordan was supposed to be wearing a modesty sock while filming a scene, but as a practical joke, he decided to go full monty and flash his co-stars the whole shebang.
Michael B. Jordan: “I said, ‘F*ck it. Why not make it awkward on them?’ I was fine! I was completely comfortable.”
That Awkward Moment hit theaters yesterday.
