The bold superhero film passed up Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($241.6 million) to earn more in its first four days than any movie in history at the North American box office, save for Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($288.1 million), not adjusted for inflation. Black Panther also scored the biggest Monday in history with $40.2 million, besting Force Awakens’ $40.1 million.
Black Panther’s three-day haul of $201.8 million is the
fifth- biggest domestic opening of all time, and the second-biggest for a
superhero title behind fellow Marvel pic The Avengers ($207.4 million).
