'Black Panther' Top-Grossing Superhero Film of All Time in US

Ryan Coogler's Black Panther has become the top-grossing superhero film of all time in the United States.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Disney and Marvel release achieved the milestone on Saturday after passing fellow Marvel title The Avengers, which grossed $623.4 million in 2012.

In addition, Black Panther is only one of seven films to ever earn $600 million or more domestically, finishing Sunday with $630.9 million.

The film has shattered numerous milestones since opening in theaters on February 16.

Globally, Black Panther finished Sunday with $1.237 billion USD in ticket sales, surpassing Iron Man 3 ($1.214 billion) to rank as the No. 3 superhero title of all time at the worldwide box office behind Avengers ($1.518 billion) and Avengers: Age of Ultron ($1.405 billion). It's also now the No. 12 highest-grossing pic in history.

The movie, which cost $200 million USD 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.
