Marvel’s Black Panther continues its winning streak at the box office, earning its fifth consecutive weekend at the No. 1 slot with $27 million earned. In yet another feat, this makes Black Panther the first film to finish at No. 1 five consecutive times since 2009’s Avatar. The Alicia Vikander-starring remake of the classic video game Tomb Raider came in second in its opening weekend with $23.5 million, according to Deadline.
Black Panther has become only the seventh film to pass the $600 million mark at the North American box office and is the second-fastest film to do so after Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The highly-praised Marvel superhero movie hit $1 billion globally and isn’t far from beating The Avengers (which raked in $623 million) as top-grossing superhero film of all time domestically.
The Christian drama I Can Only Imagine exceeded expectations by coming in third with $17.1 million. Ava DuVernay’s adaptation of A Wrinkle In Time starring Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, and Mindy Kaling came in second place last weekend but fell to fourth with $16.6 million.

Too bad Avatar was an amazing movie. First of it kind as imax 3D!
And Black Panther was just a jerkfeast for SJWs/PC nation/afrolovers to hold each other penises and jerkoff!
But that doesn't makes a good movie in long terms…
Lmao yet Black panther cant even beat avater 2bilion mark. Heck the news avenger will
Beat black panther.😂😂😂
🤣 Avatar is 10 times better than black panther
Just good release date no other good movies out
I love both Avatar and Black panther… I'm proud tbh… imma watch BP another time. It's gained a billion, let's aim for 2.
✊🏿
Black panther is insanely overrated.
It was just, okay.
WAKANDA FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
✨🌍 WAKANDA FOREVER!!! 💯
this movie is SJW trash. burn it.
ALL HAIL KING KILLMONGER!!👑
Why do people like superhero movies that much? They arent even that interesting. At least Avatar was original to some extent. yall get too hype about nothing
Black panther out grossed Civil War😍
Black panther was good but it’s not the greatest marvel movie ever or even close, people just hype it up because it has mostly black people in it and will be called racist if they critique it honestly.
And black panther is playing in two hundred Less theaters than star wars.
Be honest Complex BP was barely decent
I hope they took shares in the proceeds vs lump sum payment.
If BP 2 was made it would easily beat this first one.
it was a good movie,nothing too crazy special,but these movies really depend on who your favorite heroes are
Thats it you fuck, talkin like you hot shit sayin avatar is over rated look at the fuckin stats you god damn troll, if you aint fired when i buy complex your the first one to fuckin go
I love black panther but never disrespect Avatar nigga!
This movie is super over rated
But black panther was an average film which makes it overrated 🤷🏾♂️
Bro if black panther did this well imagine just IMAGINE infinity war..
Avatar > Frazier
Jerry Lorenzo predicted this. jus sayin 🤷🏻♂️
Dislike gang
After 9 years I don't get all the hype around AVATAR. It was an okay movie at best.
Infinity war will be better
Movie theater on Court Street in BK was packed on a Sunday for a movie out over a month now.
Wakanda Forever.
Marvel movies are lot better than anti masculine, chick flicks like Titanic and other indie craps.
Black panther worst movie of all time
to be fair, most of the other movies out are kinda mediocre…
Still loved BP, might go watch it a second time
