How massive is ‘Black Panther’ at the box office? A record-shattering $235 million

LA Times  

The Times spoke to fans who attended opening day screenings of “Black Panther” in Los Angeles to discuss what the film meant to them. The King of Wakanda reigned supreme this holiday weekend as Disney’s “Black Panther” proved to be a pop cultural phenomenon, shattering box office records with an estimated $235 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales for the four-day holiday weekend. “Black Panther” is the fifth highest domestic opening weekend of all time, behind only “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, “Star Wars: The Last Jedi”, “Jurassic World” and “Marvel’s The Avengers”. FULL COVERAGE: Marvel’s ‘Black Panther’ » A prevailing belief among some in Hollywood has been that movies with mostly black casts don’t do well at the foreign box office, but Disney reported $169 million in international ticket sales — a figure expected to climb dramatically when “Black Panther” opens in major markets including China, Japan and Russia. With Hollywood criticized for not putting diverse voices behind the camera or enough people of color in starring roles, the box office numbers for “Black Panther” are telling, Hollis said.
