In the U.S., Black Panther is officially the king of superhero films.
This weekend the Marvel film became the highest domestic-grossing superhero film of all time, not accounting for inflation, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Deadline lists the movie as taking in a whopping $630.9 million. That figure passes The Avengers, which brought in $623.4 million in 2012.
The Ryan Coogler-directed Black Panther should also become third highest-grossing superhero film globally, passing 2013′s Iron Man 3 at $1.214 billion.
The first two Avengers films still hold a hefty lead in worldwide gross, with The Avengers netting $1.5 billion, and the followup, Avengers: Age Of Ultron, making $1.4 billion in 2015.
Unfortunately, Black Panther may not hold the domestic record as Marvels highest-grossing film for long because Marvels highly anticipated crossover Avengers: Infinity Wars comes out April 27. Presale tickets for that film are already selling at a higher rate than any superhero film ever.

And I'm thrilled that it's bringing notoriety and acclaim for Ta-Nehisi Coates.
