After shooting past its predecessor sibling in MCU, Iron Man 3’s global best box-office figure as an individual superhero, Black Panther has still got the appetite for more! The Wakandan superhero tale, directed by the charismatic Ryan Coogler, is now running close to beat Disney’s last year’s blockbuster, Beauty and the Beast’s worldwide collection of $1.263 billion.
And considering the current form that Black Panther is in, it will be a matter of just days that it achieves that feat and then it will officially become world’s 11th highest grossing all-time hit film.
And after it beats Beauty and the Beast, the next target will be Disney’s 2013 mega hit, Frozen, which grossed $1.276 billion, globally.
But most importantly, the biggest rank that Black Panther is heading towards, is of the third highest grossing domestic film of all-time, in the US!
Yes, because it’s now earned around $637.6 million on US box-office which it will try to stretch further and its certain that it will, in the next week. Once it surpasses 2015’s Jurassic World’s domestic total of $652 million and 1997’s James Cameron directorial, Titanic’s unadjusted domestic total of $658 million, it will become the third best film of all-time, in the US, remaining behind only to 2009’s Avatar ($760 million) and 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($937 million).
Now, it will be interesting to see how Black Panther beats these two flicks in the next week.
