Time to floss! Black Panther just crossed the epic milestone of a BILLION dollars in movie ticket sales.  Deets inside...

Long live the King!

Chadwick Boseman and the Black Panther cast can adjust their crowns to stand even taller today.  The simply perfect Marvel flick just raked in $1 Billion globally!  And it only took 26 days.

Deadline said about the current #1 movie at the box office (for the fourth week in a row, beating out Wrinkle In Time in its opening weekend):

The film is at $531M domestic and is crossing $500M at the international box office this weekend, bolstered by a strong start in China where it’s now at about $49M after two days.

...

Black Panther is also the No. 9 movie of all time domestically and will this frame become the No. 2 superhero movie ever, passing The Dark Knight.

Yessssss.  Check the receipts:

Among the other stats are the top February domestic debut ever at $202M (3-day)/$242.1M (4-day); the No. 5 all-time 3-day start; the No. 1 Monday ($40.1M) of all time; the No. 2 Sunday ever ($60M); the No. 2 ever second weekend ($111.6M); and the No. 1 non-holiday third weekend ($66.3M).

While it's a win-win for the culture at the box office this weekend with Ava Duvernay's flick getting plenty of attention, we're definitely ecstatic for the Wakandan crew as well.

Congrats to the cast & crew!
