Black Panther, which amassed another $65.7 million in its third outing to leap past the $500 million mark in North America and earn nearly $900 million worldwide, is now the 10th biggest film of all time domestically, not adjusted for inflation. It nabbed the third biggest weekend in history behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($90.2 million) and Avatar ($68.5 million) to become the No. 3 superhero pic of all time behind The Dark Knight ($534.9M), which it will soon pass up, and fellow Marvel title The Avengers ($623.4M), which it could also ultimately beat. Warner’s DCEU franchise lags far behind with Black Panther bringing in more in three weeks than Wonder Woman did in its run and twice as much as Justice League. Movies from Jennifer Lawrence and Bruce Willis which opened this week were no match for Black Panther.
