Black Panther continues to dominate the global box office. The film had a huge opening day in China taking an estimated $22.7m. That figure gives it the third-best opening day of all-time in the Middle Kingdom behind only Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War.
Estimates in the press put the film as earning in the region of $65-$75m for its opening weekend.
With that figure in the bank the film has now easily crossed $980m worldwide. By the close of play this weekend the Ryan Coogler helmed film will have crossed $1 billion!
It is now the second highest grossing movie in the MCU in North America. Worldwide it is currently the 5th highest grossing in the franchise.
