Black Panther has become the third highest grossing movie in the United States of America history as it overtakes 1997’s Titanic.
ComScore reports that the movie which had another big weekend earned an additional $8.4m in its eighth weekend of release for a total U.S. box office haul of $665.3m.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the feat puts it ahead of 1997’s Titanic ($659.4m, not adjusted for inflation) and behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936.7m) and Avatar ($760.5m) in the U.S. market.
Internationally, Black Panther‘s $1.3bn in gross box office receipts launches it in the global Top 10, displacing Frozen.
The Disney-Marvel superhero movie had earlier notched a milestone when Variety reports that it will be the first movie to be shown in Saudi Arabia when its 35-year cinema ban ends on April 18.
